قَالُواْ یَا هُودُ مَا جِئْتَنَا بِبَیِّنَة وَمَا نَحْنُ بِتَارِکِی آلِهَتِنَا عَنْ قَوْلِکَ وَمَا نَحْنُ لَکَ بِمُؤْمِنِینَ(( 53 ))

53- THEY SAID:ِ ``O, HOOD! YOU HAVE NOT COME TO US WITH EVIDENCE, AND WE ARE NOT TO LEAVE OUR GODS FOR WHAT YOU SAY, AND WE DO NOT BELIEVE YOU.''

إِنْ نَقُولُ إِلاَّ اعْتَرَاکَ بَعْضُ آلِهَتِنَا بِسُوء قَالَ إِنِّی أُشْهِدُ اللهَ وَاشْهَدُوا أَنِّی بَرِىءٌ مِمَّا تُشْرِکُونَ(( 54 ))

54- WE SAY NOTHING EXCEPT THAT SOME OF OUR GODS HAVE AFFLICTED YOU WITH SOME EVIL. (SUCH AS MADNESS) HE SAID:ِ ``I CALL ALLAH TO WITNESS, AND YOU WITNESS TOO, THAT I AM QUIT OF WHAT YOU ASSOCIATE....''

مِنْ دُونِهِ فَکِیدُونِی جَمِیعاً ثُمَّ لاَ تُنْظِرُونِی(( 55 ))

55- ....APART FROM HIM.

      THEN SCHEME AGAINST ME YOU ALL, AND GIVE ME NO RESPITE. (DO YOUR WORST AGAINST ME)

إِنِّی تَوَکَّلْتُ عَلَى اللهِ رَبِّی وَرَبِّکُمْ مَّا مِنْ دَابَّة إِلاَّ هُوَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِیَتِهَا إِنَّ رَبِّی عَلَى صِرَاط مُسْتَقِیم(( 56 ))

56- I HAVE PUT MY TRUST IN ALLAH, MY LORD AND YOUR LORD. THERE IS NO MOVING CREATURE UNLESS HE HOLDS

IT BY ITS FORELOCK. (HE HAS CONTROL OVER IT) VERILY MY LORD IS ON A STRAIGHT PATH.

فَإِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتُکُمْ مَّا أُرْسِلْتُ بِهِ إِلَیْکُمْ وَیَسْتَخْلِفُ رَبِّی قَوْماً غَیْرَکُمْ وَلاَ تَضُرُّونَهُ شَیْئاً إِنَّ رَبِّی عَلَى کُلِّ شَیْء حَفِیظٌ(( 57 ))

57- THEN IF YOU TURN AWAY, I HAVE CONVEYED TO YOU THAT WITH WHICH I WAS SENT TO YOU.

      AND MY LORD WILL REPLACE YOU WITH A PEOPLE OTHER THAN YOU, AND YOU CAN DO HIM NO HARM, THAT MY LORD IS THE GUARDIAN OVER EVERYTHING.
