Sura 2 Al-Baqarah (The Cow), ayah 87

  1. وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ وَقَفَّيْنَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِ بِالرُّسُلِ ۖ وَآتَيْنَا عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ الْبَيِّنَاتِ وَأَيَّدْنَاهُ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ ۗ أَفَكُلَّمَا جَاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ بِمَا لَا تَهْوَىٰ أَنْفُسُكُمُ اسْتَكْبَرْتُمْ فَفَرِيقًا كَذَّبْتُمْ وَفَرِيقًا تَقْتُلُونَ

    Translation by words

    وَلَقَدْ
    And indeed
    ءَاتَيْنَا
    We gave
    مُوسَى
    Musa
    ٱلْكِتَٰبَ
    the Book
    وَقَفَّيْنَا
    and We followed up
    مِنۢ
    from
    بَعْدِهِۦ
    after him
    بِٱلرُّسُلِ
    with [the] Messengers.
    وَءَاتَيْنَا
    And We gave
    عِيسَى
    Isa,
    ٱبْنَ
    (the) son
    مَرْيَمَ
    (of) Maryam,
    ٱلْبَيِّنَٰتِ
    [the] clear signs
    وَأَيَّدْنَٰهُ
    and We supported him
    بِرُوحِ
    (with)
    ٱلْقُدُسِ
    the Holy Spirit.
    أَفَكُلَّمَا
    Is it (not) so (that) whenever
    جَآءَكُمْ
    came to you
    رَسُولٌۢ
    a Messenger
    بِمَا
    with what
    لَا
    (does) not
    تَهْوَىٰٓ
    desire
    أَنفُسُكُمُ
    yourselves,
    ٱسْتَكْبَرْتُمْ
    you acted arrogantly?
    فَفَرِيقًا
    So a party
    كَذَّبْتُمْ
    you denied,
    وَفَرِيقًا
    and a party
    تَقْتُلُونَ
    you kill(ed).

    And We did certainly give Moses the Torah and followed up after him with messengers. And We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, clear proofs and supported him with the Pure Spirit. But is it (not) that every time a messenger came to you, (O Children of Israel), with what your souls did not desire, you were arrogant? And a party (of messengers) you denied and another party you killed.

    2:87
