فَلَمَّا
Then when
فَصَلَ
set out
طَالُوتُ
Talut
بِٱلْجُنُودِ
with the army,
قَالَ
he said,
إِنَّ
[Indeed
ٱللَّهَ
the One is
مُبْتَلِيكُم
testing you
بِنَهَرٍۢ
with a river,
فَمَن
so whoever
شَرِبَ
drank
مِنْهُ
from it
فَلَيْسَ
then not would be
مِنِّى
of me,
وَمَن
and whoever
لَّمْ
not
يَطْعَمْهُ
consumed it
فَإِنَّهُۥ
then indeed he is
مِنِّىٓ
of me,
إِلَّا
except
مَنِ
who
ٱغْتَرَفَ
scooped
غُرْفَةًۢ
a scoop
بِيَدِهِۦ
by his handful.]
ۚ
فَشَرِبُوا۟
So, they drank
مِنْهُ
from it,
إِلَّا
except
قَلِيلًۭا
few
مِّنْهُمْ
of them;
ۚ
فَلَمَّا
then when
جَاوَزَهُۥ
passed it,
هُوَ
he
وَٱلَّذِينَ
and the ones who
ءَامَنُوا۟
had conviction
مَعَهُۥ
with him,
قَالُوا۟
they said,
لَا
[No
طَاقَةَ
strength
لَنَا
with us
ٱلْيَوْمَ
on this day
بِجَالُوتَ
regarding Jaloot
وَجُنُودِهِۦ
and his army.]
ۚ
قَالَ
Said
ٱلَّذِينَ
the ones who
يَظُنُّونَ
had in mind
أَنَّهُم
that they
مُّلَٰقُوا۟
will meet
ٱللَّهِ
the One,
كَم
[How a many
مِّن
of
فِئَةٍۢ
a group
قَلِيلَةٍ
that is little
غَلَبَتْ
has defeated
فِئَةًۭ
a group
كَثِيرَةًۢ
that is large
بِإِذْنِ
by command of
ٱللَّهِ
the One?
ۗ
وَٱللَّهُ
And the One is
مَعَ
with
ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ
the persevering ones.]

فَلَمَّا فَصَلَ طَالُوتُ بِٱلْجُنُودِ قَالَ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مُبْتَلِيكُم بِنَهَرٍۢ فَمَن شَرِبَ مِنْهُ فَلَيْسَ مِنِّى وَمَن لَّمْ يَطْعَمْهُ فَإِنَّهُۥ مِنِّىٓ إِلَّا مَنِ ٱغْتَرَفَ غُرْفَةًۢ بِيَدِهِۦ ۚ فَشَرِبُوا۟ مِنْهُ إِلَّا قَلِيلًۭا مِّنْهُمْ ۚ فَلَمَّا جَاوَزَهُۥ هُوَ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مَعَهُۥ قَالُوا۟ لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا ٱلْيَوْمَ بِجَالُوتَ وَجُنُودِهِۦ ۚ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَظُنُّونَ أَنَّهُم مُّلَٰقُوا۟ ٱللَّهِ كَم مِّن فِئَةٍۢ قَلِيلَةٍ غَلَبَتْ فِئَةًۭ كَثِيرَةًۢ بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ مَعَ ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ Then when set out Talut with the army, he said, [Indeed the One is testing you with a river, so whoever drank from it then not would be of me, and whoever not consumed it then indeed he is of me, except who scooped a scoop by his handful.] So, they drank from it, except few of them; then when passed it, he and the ones who had conviction with him, they said, [No strength with us on this day regarding Jaloot and his army.] Said the ones who had in mind that they will meet the One, [How a many of a group that is little has defeated a group that is large by command of the One? And the One is with the persevering ones.]

And when Saul set out with the army, he said: Lo! Allah will try you by (the ordeal of) a river. Whosoever therefore drinketh thereof he is not of me, and whosoever tasteth it not he is of me, save him who taketh (thereof) in the hollow of his hand. But they drank thereof, all save a few of them. And after he had crossed (the river), he and those who believed with him, they said: We have no power this day against Goliath and his hosts. But those who knew that they would meet Allah exclaimed: How many a little company hath overcome a mighty host by Allah's leave! Allah is with the steadfast. - Pickthall, Marmaduke
⦿
As Saul set out with the troops, he said, [Allah will test you with a stream: anyone who drinks from it will not belong to me, but those who do not drink from it will belong to me, barring someone who draws a scoop with his hand.] But they drank from it, [all] except a few of them. So when he crossed it along with the faithful who were with him, they said, [We have no strength today against Goliath and his troops.] Those who were certain that they would encounter Allah said, [How many a small party has overcome a larger party by Allah]s will! And Allah is with the patient.] - Qarai, Ali Quli
⦿
When Saul set forth with the army he said, [God will test you with a river. Those who drink its water will not be of my people and those who do not even taste the water or who only taste some of it from within the hollow of their hand, will be my friends. They all drank the water except a few of them. When Saul and those who believed in him crossed the river, his people said, [We do not have the strength to fight against Goliath and his army.] Those who thought that they would meet God said, [How often, with God's permission, have small groups defeated the large ones?] God is with those who exercise patience. - Sarwar, Muhammad
⦿
So when Talut departed with the forces, he said: Surely Allah will try you with a river; whoever then drinks from it, he is not of me, and whoever does not taste of it, he is surely of me, except he who takes with his hand as much of it as fills the hand; but with the exception of a few of them they drank from it. So when he had crossed it, he and those who believed with him, they said: We have today no power against Jalut and his forces. Those who were sure that they would meet their Lord said: How often has a small party vanquished a numerous host by Allah's permission, and Allah is with the patient. - Shakir, Habib
⦿
When Talut set out with his forces, he said to them, [God will test you with a river: whoever drinks from it is not with me and whoever does not drink is with me. There will, however, be no blame upon one who sips only a handful from it.] But, except for a few of them, they all drank from it. When he and those who believed along with him had crossed the river, they said, [We have no strength today against Goliath and his warriors.] But those of them who believed that they would meet God replied, [Many a small group, by God's command has prevailed against a large group. God is indeed with the steadfast.] - Wahiduddin Khan

اس کے بعد جب طالوت علیھ السّلام لشکر لے کرچلے تو انہوں نے کہا کہ اب خدا ایک نہر کے ذریعہ تمہارا امتحان لینے والا ہے جو اس میں سے پی لے گا وہ مجھ سے نہ ہوگا اور جو نہ چکھے گا وہ مجھ سے ہوگا مگر یہ کہ ایک چلّو پانی لے لے. نتیجہ یہ ہوا کہ سب نے پانی پی لیا سوائے چند افراد کے---- پھر جب وہ صاحبانِ ایمان کو لے کر آگے بڑھے لوگوں نے کہا کہ آج تو جالوت اور اس کے لشکروں کے مقابلہ کی ہمت نہیں ہے اور ایک جماعت نے جسے خدا سے ملاقات کرنے کا خیال تھا کہا کہ اکثر چھوٹے چھوٹے گروہ بڑی بڑی جماعتوں پر حکم خدا سے غالب آجاتے ہیں اور اللہ صبر کرنے والوں کے ساتھ ہے - Jawadi, Zeeshan
⦿
پھر جب طالوت لشکر لے کر چلا، تو اُس نے کہا: ——ایک دریا پر اللہ کی طرف سے تمہاری آزمائش ہونے والی ہے جواس کا پانی پیے گا، وہ میرا ساتھی نہیں میرا ساتھی صرف وہ ہے جو اس سے پیاس نہ بجھائے، ہاں ایک آدھ چلو کوئی پی لے، تو پی لے—— مگر ایک گروہ قلیل کے سوا وہ سب اس دریا سے سیراب ہوئے پھر جب طالوت اور اس کے ساتھی مسلمان دریا پار کر کے آگے بڑھے، تو اُنہوں نے طالوت سے کہہ دیا کہ آج ہم میں جالوت اور اس کے لشکروں کا مقابلہ کرنے کی طاقت نہیں ہے لیکن جو لوگ یہ سمجھتے تھے کہ انہیں ایک دن اللہ سے ملنا ہے، انہوں نے کہا: ——بارہا ایسا ہوا ہے کہ ایک قلیل گروہ اللہ کے اذن سے ایک بڑے گروہ پر غالب آگیا ہے اللہ صبر کرنے والوں کا ساتھی ہے—— - Maududi, Abul A'ala
⦿
پھر جب طالوت لشکروں کو لے کر شہر سے جدا ہوا بولا بیشک اللہ تمہیں ایک نہر سے آزمانے والا ہے تو جو اس کا پانی پئے وہ میرا نہیں اور جو نہ پیئے وہ میرا ہے مگر وہ جو ایک چلُو اپنے ہاتھ سے لے لے تو سب نے اس سے پیا مگر تھوڑوں نے پھر جب طالوت اور اس کے ساتھ کے مسلمان نہر کے پار گئے بولے ہم میں آج طاقت نہیں جالوت اور اس کے لشکروں کی بولے وہ جنہیں اللہ سے ملنے کا یقین تھا کہ بارہا کم جماعت غالب آئی ہے زیادہ گروہ پر اللہ کے حکم سے، اور اللہ صابروں کے ساتھ ہے - Ahmed Raza
⦿
اب جو طالوت فوجیں لے کر چلے تو (اپنے ہمراہیوں سے) کہا کہ خدا ایک نہر کے ساتھ تمہاری آزمائش کرنے والا ہے (دیکھو) جو شخص اس سے پانی پی لے گا اس کا مجھ سے کوئی واسطہ نہ ہوگا اور جو اسے چکھے گا بھی نہیں اس کا مجھ سے تعلق ہوگا۔ مگر یہ کہ اپنے ہاتھ سے ایک چُلو بھر لے۔ (انجام کار وقت آنے پر) تھوڑے لوگوں کے سوا باقی سب نے اس (نہر) سے پانی پی لیا۔ پس جب وہ اور ان کے ساتھ ایمان لانے والے آگے بڑھے (نہر پار کی) تو (پانی پینے والے) کہنے لگے کہ آج ہم میں جالوت اور اس کی افواج سے لڑنے کی طاقت نہیں ہے (مگر) جن لوگوں کو خدا کو منہ دکھانے کا یقین تھا کہنے لگے خدا کے حکم سے کئی چھوٹی جماعتیں بڑی جماعتوں پر غالب آجاتی ہیں اور خدا صبر کرنے والوں کے ساتھ ہے۔ - Najafi, Muhammad
