وَإِذَا And when قِيلَ it is said لَهُمُ to them ٱتَّبِعُوا۟ Follow مَآ what أَنزَلَ has revealed ٱللَّهُ Allah قَالُوا۟ they said بَلْ Nay نَتَّبِعُ we follow مَآ what أَلْفَيْنَا we found عَلَيْهِ [on it] ءَابَآءَنَآ ۗ our forefathers (following) أَوَلَوْ Even though كَانَ [were] ءَابَآؤُهُمْ their forefathers لَا (did) not يَعْقِلُونَ understand شَيْـًۭٔا anything وَلَا and not يَهْتَدُونَ were they guided ١٧٠

وَمَثَلُ And (the) example ٱلَّذِينَ (of) those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieve[d] كَمَثَلِ (is) like (the) example ٱلَّذِى (of) the one who يَنْعِقُ shouts بِمَا at what لَا not يَسْمَعُ (does) hear إِلَّا except دُعَآءًۭ calls وَنِدَآءًۭ ۚ and cries صُمٌّۢ deaf بُكْمٌ dumb عُمْىٌۭ (and) blind فَهُمْ [so] they لَا (do) not يَعْقِلُونَ understand ١٧١

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you ٱلَّذِينَ who ءَامَنُوا۟ believe[d] كُلُوا۟ Eat مِن from طَيِّبَـٰتِ (the) good مَا (of) what رَزَقْنَـٰكُمْ We have provided you وَٱشْكُرُوا۟ and be grateful لِلَّهِ to Allah إِن if كُنتُمْ you إِيَّاهُ alone تَعْبُدُونَ worship Him ١٧٢

إِنَّمَا Only حَرَّمَ He has forbidden عَلَيْكُمُ to you ٱلْمَيْتَةَ the dead animals وَٱلدَّمَ and [the] blood وَلَحْمَ and flesh ٱلْخِنزِيرِ (of) swine وَمَآ and what أُهِلَّ has been dedicated بِهِۦ [with it] لِغَيْرِ to other than ٱللَّهِ ۖ Allah فَمَنِ So whoever ٱضْطُرَّ (is) forced by necessity غَيْرَ without بَاغٍۢ (being) disobedient وَلَا and not عَادٍۢ transgressor فَلَآ then no إِثْمَ sin عَلَيْهِ ۚ on him إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah غَفُورٌۭ (is) Oft-Forgiving رَّحِيمٌ Most Merciful ١٧٣

إِنَّ Indeed ٱلَّذِينَ those who يَكْتُمُونَ conceal مَآ what أَنزَلَ (has) revealed ٱللَّهُ Allah (has) مِنَ of ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ the Book وَيَشْتَرُونَ and they purchase بِهِۦ there with ثَمَنًۭا a gain قَلِيلًا ۙ little أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ Those مَا not يَأْكُلُونَ they eat فِى in بُطُونِهِمْ their bellies إِلَّا except ٱلنَّارَ the Fire وَلَا And not يُكَلِّمُهُمُ will speak to them ٱللَّهُ Allah يَوْمَ (on the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ (of) [the] Judgment وَلَا and not يُزَكِّيهِمْ will He purify them وَلَهُمْ and for them عَذَابٌ (is) a punishment أَلِيمٌ painful ١٧٤

أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ Those ٱلَّذِينَ (are) they who ٱشْتَرَوُا۟ purchase[d] ٱلضَّلَـٰلَةَ [the] astraying بِٱلْهُدَىٰ for [the] Guidance وَٱلْعَذَابَ and [the] punishment بِٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ ۚ for [the] forgiveness فَمَآ So what (is) أَصْبَرَهُمْ their endurance عَلَى on ٱلنَّارِ the Fire ١٧٥

ذَٰلِكَ That بِأَنَّ (is) because ٱللَّهَ Allah نَزَّلَ revealed ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ the Book بِٱلْحَقِّ ۗ with [the] Truth وَإِنَّ And indeed ٱلَّذِينَ those ٱخْتَلَفُوا۟ who differed فِى in ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ the Book لَفِى (are) surely in شِقَاقٍۭ schism بَعِيدٍۢ far ١٧٦
