۞ وَإِذْ نَتَقْنَا ٱلْجَبَلَ فَوْقَهُمْ كَأَنَّهُۥ ظُلَّةٌ وَظَنُّوٓا۟ أَنَّهُۥ وَاقِعٌۢ بِهِمْ خُذُوا۟ مَآ ءَاتَيْنَٰكُم بِقُوَّةٍ وَٱذْكُرُوا۟ مَا فِيهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ

The leading men of Israel were brought to the foot of the mountain (Exod.19: 17). It seemed to them to tower above them like a canopy which might at any time fall upon them.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور (یاد کرو) جب ہم نے پہاڑ کو اُن پر بلند کیا گویا وہ ایک سائبان تھا اور انہوں نے گمان کیا کہ وہ ان پر گرنے ہی والا ہے۔ (اے بنی اسرائیل!) جو ہم نے تمہیں عطا کیا ہے اسے مضبوطی سے پکڑ لو اور جو اس میں ہے (اُسے) یاد رکھو تاکہ تم تقویٰ شعار ہوجاؤ۔

French

Et lorsque Nous avons fait que la montagne penche sur eux comme si c’était une voûte, et ils s’imaginèrent qu’elle allait s’effondrer sur eux, Nous avons dit : « Restez fermement attachés à ce que Nous vous avons donné, et souvenez-vous de ce qui s’y trouve afin que vous soyez à l’abri du mal. »

German

Und da Wir den Berg über ihnen schüttelten, als wäre er ein Zelt, und sie dachten, er würde auf sie stürzen (da sprachen Wir): "Haltet fest, was Wir euch gegeben haben, und seid eingedenk dessen, was darin steht, auf dass ihr gerettet werdet."

Chinese

[c]当我使那座山低垂于他们上面, 好像覆盖物时, 他们揣度它将要倒在他们身上,[526] (我说): “要牢牢掌握我所赐予你们的 (经典), 记着里面的一切 (教义), 以便你们做为敬畏的人。”

2:64.

以色列的首领们被带到那座山麓下 («出埃及记» 19:17)。那座山在他们看来像天蓬那样耸立在他们上方, 随时都可倒在他们身上。

Italian

E quando Noi facemmo sì che la montagna pendesse su di loro come se fosse un tendone e loro temettero che stesse per cadere loro addosso, Noi dicemmo: «Attenetevi strettamente a quello che Noi vi abbiamo dato, e ricordate quello che vi è contenuto, affinché possiate essere dei timorati.»

Spanish

Y recuerda cuando hicimos que el monte colgara sobre ellos como si uera una sombra, y creyeron que iba a caer sobre ellos; dijimos: “Aferraos a lo que os hemos entregado, y recordad lo que hay allí para que os salvéis”.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور جب ہم نے پہاڑ کو ان کے اوپر[1] اٹھایا گویا کہ وہ ایک سائبان تھا اور انہوں نے خیال کیا کہ وہ ان کے اوپر گرنے ہی والا ہے (اور ہم نے کہا) جو کچھ ہم نے تم کو دیا ہے اسے قوت سے پکڑ لو اور جو کچھ اس میں ہے اسے یاد رکھو تا کہ تم متقی بن جاؤ۔

یعنی ان کے سرداروں کو لے جاکر طُور کے دامن میں کھڑا کر دیا۔ تاکہ وہ بھی اس کا نظارہ کر لیں (دیکھئے خروج باب۱۹ آیت۱۷) جب پہاڑ کے نیچے انسان کھڑا ہو تو پہاڑ ایسا ہی معلوم ہوتا ہے جیسا کہ سائبان کی طرح اس کے سر پر ہے اس کے معنے غیر طبعی کرنے کی کوئی ضرورت نہیں۔ علماء کو اگر کبھی کسی اونچے پہاڑ کی سیر کرادی جائے تو ایسی کہانیوں سے تفسیریں پاک ہو جائیں۔

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

انہیں وہ وقت بھی کچھ یاد ہے جبکہ ہم نے پہاڑ کو ہلا کر ان پر اس طرح چھا دیا تھا کہ گویا وہ چھتری ہے اور یہ گمان کر رہے تھے کہ وہ ان پر آ پڑے گا اور اُس وقت ہم نے ان سے کہا تھا کہ جو کتاب ہم تمہیں دے رہے ہیں اسے مضبوطی کے ساتھ تھامو اور جو کچھ اس میں لکھا ہے اسے یاد رکھو، توقع ہے کہ تم غلط روی سے بچے رہو گے

اورجب ہم نے ان پر پہاڑ اٹھایا گویا کہ وہ سائبان ہے اور وہ ڈرے کہ ان پر گرے گا ہم نے کہا جو ہم نے تمہیں دیا ہے اسے مضبوطی سے پکڑو اور جو اس میں ہے اسے یاد رکھو تاکہ تم پرہیزگار ہو جاؤ
