5:67

وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ أَقَامُوا۟ ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةَ وَٱلْإِنجِيلَ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِم مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ لَأَكَلُوا۟ مِن فَوْقِهِمْ وَمِن تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِهِم ۚ مِّنْهُمْ أُمَّةٌ مُّقْتَصِدَةٌ ۖ وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنْهُمْ سَآءَ مَا يَعْمَلُونَ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

And if they had observed the Torah and the Gospel and what has been now sent down to them from their Lord, they would, surely, have eaten of good things from above them and from under their feet. Among them are a people who are moderate; but many of them — evil indeed is that which they do.

English - Five Volume Translation

And if [a]they had observed the Torah and the Gospel and what has been now sent down to them from their Lord, they would, surely, have eaten of good things from above them and from under their feet. Among them are a people who are moderate; but many of them—evil indeed is that which they do.[697]

5:48.

Commentary:

If Jews and Christians had given due consideration to the prophecies in their Scriptures, they would certainly have believed in the Quran, which had come in fulfilment of those prophecies.

The words, they would surely have eaten of good things from above them and from under their feet, mean: (1) they would have received both heavenly blessings, such as Divine revelation and communion with God, as well as worldly prosperity; (2) they would have had not only timely and abundant rains from above but the earth below their feet would also have yielded to them its produce in abundance; and (3) God would have provided them with both heavenly and earthly means of progress.

English - Short Commentary Translation

And if [a]they had observed the Torah and the Gospel and what has been now sent down to them from their Lord, they would, surely, have eaten of good things from above them and from under their feet.[771] Among them are a people who are moderate; but many of them are such that evil is what they do.

5:48.

(1) They would have received heavenly blessings, such as Divine revelation and communion with God, as well as worldly prosperity. (2) They would have had not only timely and abundant rains from above but the earth would also have yielded its produce for them in abundance. (3) God would have provided them with both heavenly and earthly means of progress.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور اگر وہ تورات اور انجیل (کی تعلیم) کو اور جو کچھ ان کی طرف ان کے ربّ کی طرف سے اتارا گیا قائم کرتے تو وہ اپنے اوپر سے بھی کھاتے اور اپنے پاؤں کے نیچے سے بھی۔ اُن میں سے ہی ایک جماعت میانہ رَو ہے جبکہ ان میں سے بہت ہیں کہ بہت برا ہے جو وہ کرتے ہیں۔

French

Et s’ils avaient observé la Torah et l’Evangile, et ce qui a été envoyé maintenant de la part de leur Seigneur, ils auraient goûté assurément ce qui se trouve au-dessus d’eux ainsi que ce qui se trouve sous leurs pieds. Parmi eux, il y a un ensemble d’hommes modérés ; mais c’est certainement très mal ce que font la majorité d’entre eux.

German

Und hätten sie die Thora befolgt und das Evangelium und was (nun) zu ihnen hinabgesandt ward von ihrem Herrn, sie würden sicherlich (von den guten Dingen) über ihnen und unter ihren Füßen essen. Es sind unter ihnen Leute, die Mäßigung einhalten; doch gar viele von ihnen – wahrlich übel ist, was sie tun.

Chinese

假如[d]他们恪守 «摩西五经»、«福音书» 和他们的养主 (现在) 降示他们的, 他们必将食用从他们头上来的和从他们的脚下来的 (东西)。[384] (无疑地) 他们之中有一个中庸的团体, 但大多数人所做的事都是太坏了。

5:48.

(1) 他们会得到天上的赐福, 诸如安拉的启示以及与安拉的精神交流, 还有世俗的繁荣昌盛。(2) 他们不仅会有天上降下的及时和充分的雨水, 而且地上也会给他们生出丰富的产品。(3) 安拉会向他们提供天上和地上的进步方法。

Italian

E se avessero osservato la Torah e il Vangelo e ciò che ora è stato fatto scendere su di loro dal loro Signore, certamente avrebbero mangiato le buone cose che hanno sopra le loro teste e sotto i loro piedi. Fra di loro c'è un gruppo di persone che sono moderate; ma in verità male è ciò che la maggior parte di loro fa.

Spanish

Y si hubiesen cumplido la Torah y el Evangelio y lo que ahora les ha sido revelado por su Señor, en verdad habrían comido de las cosas buenas que existen sobre sus cabezas o bajos sus pies. Hay entre ellos un grupo de hombres que son moderados; pero la mayoría ciertamente hace el mal.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور اگر وہ تورات اور انجیل کو اور جو (کچھ) ان کے رب کی طرف سے (اب) ان پر اتارا گیا ہے اس کو ظاہر کرتے رہتے تو وہ ضرور اپنے اوپر کی طرف سے بھی کھاتے اور اپنے پاؤں کے نیچے سے بھی (کھاتے) (بیشک) ان میں سے ایک جماعت میانہ رو ہے لیکن[1] بہت سے ان میں سے ایسے ہیں کہ جو (کام) وہ کرتے ہیں وہ بہت برا ہے۔

قرآن مجید میں لفظ واؤ کا ہے جس کے معنے ’’اور‘‘ کے ہیں لیکن اردو محاورہ میں اس جگہ ’’اور‘‘ نہیں استعمال ہوتا بلکہ ’’لیکن‘‘ کا لفظ استعمال کرتے ہیں اس لئے ترجمہ میں وہی استعمال کیا گیا ہے۔

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

کاش انہوں نے توراۃ اور انجیل اور اُن دوسری کتابوں کو قائم کیا ہوتا جو اِن کے رب کی طرف سے اِن کے پاس بھیجی گئی تھیں ایسا کرتے تو اِن کے لیے اوپر سے رزق برستا اور نیچے سے ابلتا اگرچہ اِن میں کچھ لوگ راست رو بھی ہیں لیکن ان کی اکثریت سخت بد عمل ہے

English - Sahih

And if only they upheld [the law of] the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been revealed to them from their Lord, they would have consumed [provision] from above them and from beneath their feet. Among them are a moderate community, but many of them - evil is that which they do.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

اور اگر وہ تورات اور انجیل کوقائم رکھتے اور اس کو جو ان پر ان کے رب کی طرف سے نازل ہوا ہے تو اپنے اوپر سے اور اپنے پاؤں کے نیچے سے کھاتے کچھ لوگ ان میں سیدھی راہ پر ہیں اور اکثر ان میں سے برے کام کر رہے ہیں

English - Talal Itani

And if that they had stood firmly (by) the Taurat and the Injeel and what was revealed to them from their Lord, surely they (would have) eaten from above them and from beneath their feet. Among them (is) a community moderate, but many of them - evil (is) what they do.

English - Sir Muhammad Zafrullah Khan ^ra

Had they carried out the commandments of the Torah and the Gospel and of that which has now been sent down to them from their Lord, they would surely have partaken of spiritual as well as of material bounties.
