اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور ہم نے ان کو بارہ قبیلوں یعنی قوموں میں تقسیم کردیا اور ہم نے موسیٰ کی طرف جب اس سے اس کی قوم نے پانی مانگا وحی کی کہ چٹان پر اپنے عصاسے ضرب لگا تو اس سے بارہ چشمے پھوٹ پڑے اور سب لوگوں نے اپنے اپنے پینے کی جگہ معلوم کر لی اور ہم نے ان پر بادلوں کا سایہ کیا اور اُن پر مَن اور سَلوٰی اتارے۔ (اور کہا کہ) جو کچھ ہم نے تمہیں رزق عطا کیا ہے اس میں سے پاکیزہ چیزیں کھاؤ۔ اور انہوں نے ظلم ہم پر نہیں کیا بلکہ وہ خود اپنی جانوں پر ظلم کرنے والے تھے۔

French

Et Nous les avons divisés en douze tribus, par peuples distincts. Et Nous avons révélé à Moïse, quand son peuple lui demanda de l’eau : « Frappe le rocher avec ton bâton » ; et douze sources en jaillirent ; chaque tribu savait son abreuvoir. Et Nous avons fait les nuages les couvrir de leur ombre. Et Nous avons fait descendre pour eux Manna et Salwā, et Nous avons dit : « Nourrissez-vous de ces bonnes choses que Nous vous avons accordées. » Et ce n’est pas à Nous, mais à eux-mêmes, qu’ils ont fait tort.

German

Wir teilten sie in zwölf Stämme, (gesonderte) Nationen, und Wir offenbarten Moses, als sein Volk von ihm Trank forderte: "Schlage an den Felsen mit deinem Stab." Da entsprangen ihm zwölf Quellen: so kannte jeder Stamm seinen Trinkplatz. Und Wir ließen die Wolken sie überschatten und sandten ihnen Manna und Salwa* hinab: "Esset von den guten Dingen, die Wir euch beschert haben." Und sie schädigten nicht Uns, sondern sich selbst haben sie Schaden getan.

Chinese

[d]我把他们分成了十二个部落, (后来他们繁殖成了) 民族。当他的民族[e]向他要水,我启示了穆撒: “(去) 用自己的手杖打 (一定的) 石头;” (当他遵命做了,) 便从其中涌出了十二口泉源。每一个民族都知道了各自的饮水之处。 [f]我使云彩覆盖了他们, 又给他们吗哪(مَنَّ, Manna)、萨耳瓦 (سَلْوٰى, Salwa), (并命令他们说): “你们吃用我供给你们的那些美好的食品吧。”他们 (的背逆行为) 没损害[524]我,只损害了他们自己罢了。

Italian

E Noi li dividemmo in dodici tribù, genti diverse. E Noi ci rivelammo a Mosè quando il suo popolo gli chiese da bere, dicendo: «Colpisci la roccia con la tua verga» e da essa sprizzarono dodici sorgenti; ogni tribù sapeva il proprio posto dove andare a bere. E Noi facemmo in modo che le nubi dessero loro ombra su di loro e facemmo scendere per loro “Manna” e “Salwah” e dicemmo: «Mangiate le cose buone che vi abbiamo provveduto.» Essi non Ci fecero torto, ma fecero torto a sé stessi.

Spanish

Y los dividimos en doce tribus de pueblos distintos. Y evelamos a Moisés, cuando su pueblo le pidió de beber, diciéndole “golpea la roca con tu cayado”, y de ella brotaron doce manantiales; cada tribu sabía su lugar donde beber; e hicimos que las nubes los cubrieran, enviándoles miel y codornices: “comed de las cosas buenas que os hemos proporcionado”. Mas no fue a Nosotros a quien perjudicaron, sino que fue a sí mismos a quienes se perjudicaban.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور ہم نے ان کو بارہ قبیلوں میں تقسیم کر دیا (جو اب ترقی کرکے قومیں بن گئے ہیں) اور ہم نے موسیٰ کی طرف جب اس سے اس کی قوم نے پانی مانگا‘ وحی کی کہ (جا اور) اپنا سونٹا (فلاں[1]) پتھر پر مار (جب اس نے ایسا کیا) تو اس میں سے بارہ چشمے پھوٹ پڑے۔ ہر قوم نے اپنا اپنا گھاٹ جان لیا اور ہم نے ان پر بادل کا سایہ کیا اور ہم نے ان کے لئے ترنجبین اور بٹیر پیدا کئے (اورکہا) کہ جو کچھ ہم نے دیا ہے (اس میں سے) طیب چیزیں کھاؤ اور انہوں نے ہم پر ظلم نہیں کیا بلکہ وہ اپنی جانوں پر ظلم کر رہے تھے۔

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

اور ہم نے اس قوم کو بارہ گھرانوں میں تقسیم کر کے انہیں مستقل گروہوں کی شکل دے دی تھی اور جب موسیٰؑ سے اس کی قوم نے پانی مانگا تو ہم نے اس کو اشارہ کیا کہ فلاں چٹان پر اپنی لاٹھی مارو چنانچہ اس چٹان سے یکایک بارہ چشمے پھوٹ نکلے اور ہر گروہ نے اپنے پانی لینے کی جگہ متعین کر لی ہم نے اُن پر بادل کا سایہ کیا اور اُن پر من و سلویٰ اتارا کھاؤ وہ پاک چیزیں جو ہم نے تم کو بخشی ہیں مگر اس کے بعد انہوں نے جو کچھ کیا تو ہم پر ظلم نہیں کیا بلکہ آپ اپنے ہی اوپر ظلم کرتے رہے

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

قرآن مجید میں حَجَر (یعنی پتھر) پر اَلْ آیا ہے اور اس کے معنے ’’فلاں‘‘ کے ہوتے ہیں۔ یعنی حکم یہ نہ تھا کہ کسی پتھر کو مار بلکہ یہ تھا کہ فلاں پتھر کے نیچے چشمہ ہے اسے سونٹا مار کر توڑ دو۔ پانی نکل آئے گا۔ میں نے کشمیر میں ایک چشمہ دیکھا جو پتھر کے نیچے سے آتا تھا اور اس میں سے چودہ چشمے بہتے تھے۔

But (by disobeying) they did not harm Us, they harmed themselves.

English - Yusuf Ali

We divided them into twelve tribes or nations. We directed Moses by inspiration, when his (thirsty) people asked him for water: "Strike the rock with thy staff": out of it there gushed forth twelve springs: Each group knew its own place for water. We gave them the shade of clouds, and sent down to them manna and quails, (saying): "Eat of the good things We have provided for you": (but they rebelled); to Us they did no harm, but they harmed their own souls.
