بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّح۪يمِ
5:21 My people! Enter the holy land which God has set apart for you. Do not turn back, or you will lose.
5:22 "They said: "Moses, there is a tyrant community there. We will never enter it until they come out of it. If they come out, we will enter."
5:23 "Two of those who were fearful, to whom Allah had bestowed a favor, said: "March upon them through the gate. If you enter through the gate, you will surely be defeated. Trust in Allah if you believe."
5:24 Moses, while they are there, we will never enter it. You and your Lord go and fight; we are sitting here.
5:25 "So he said: "My Lord, I can only control myself and my brother, so separate between us and this people who have gone astray."
5:26 It is forbidden to them for forty years; they will wander in the earth in confusion. Do not grieve for a people who have gone astray.
5:27 "Tell them the story of the two sons of Adam. They offered sacrifices, but one was accepted and the other was not. "I will kill you,"he said. "God accepts only the righteous,"he said."
5:28 If you stretch out your hand to kill me, I will not stretch out my hand to kill you. I fear Allah, the Owner of all creatures.
5:29 I wish you to enter Hell, bearing my sin with your sin. This is how the wrongdoers are punished.
5:30 His ego incited him to kill his brother. He killed him and thus lost.
5:31 "God sent a crow digging in the ground to show him how to bury his brother´s body. He repented, saying, "Woe is me; I am not as good as this crow in burying my brother´s body."
5:32 Therefore We wrote to the Children of Israel: Whoever kills a person who has not committed murder or corrupted the earth, it is as if he had killed all mankind. And whoever gives life to that soul, it is as if he had given life to all mankind. Our messengers came to them with clear proofs. Nevertheless, most of them immediately began to commit transgression in the earth.
5:33 The recompense for those who fight against Allah and His messenger and strive for corruption in the earth: They shall be killed or hanged, or their hands and feet shall be cut off crosswise, or they shall be driven out of their homes. This is humiliation in this world. And in the Hereafter there is a great punishment.
5:34 Except those who repent before Allah seizes them. Know that Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
5:35 Listen to Allah, you who believe, and seek a way to reach Him, and strive hard in His Way so that you may succeed.
5:36 If the disbelievers had all that is in the earth and as much of it, and if they ransomed it to escape the torment of the Day of Resurrection, it would not be accepted from them. For them is a painful torment.
5:37 They wish to get out of the Fire, but they cannot. They are condemned to a permanent punishment.
5:38 Cut off the hands of the male thief and the female thief for what they did. This is a deterrent prescribed by Allah. Allah is Mighty, Wise.
5:39 Whoever repents and reforms after this injustice, Allah will accept his return. Surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
5:40 Do you not know that to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth? He torments whom He wills and forgives whom He wills. Allah is the All-Sufficient.
