5:42

Listenersto [the] falsehooddevourersﱄﱅof the forbiddenSo ifthey come to youthen judgebetween themorturn awayﱌﱍfrom themAnd ifyou turn awayfrom themthen neverwill they harm youﱓﱔ(in) anythingAnd ifyou judgethen judgebetween themﱙﱚwith [the] justiceIndeedAllahlovesthe ones who are just(42)

They eagerly listen to falsehood and consume forbidden gain.1 So if they come to you ˹O Prophet˺, either judge between them or turn away from them. If you turn away from them, they cannot harm you whatsoever. But if you judge between them, then do so with justice. Surely Allah loves those who are just.

5:43

But how canthey appoint you a judgewhile they (have) with themthe Tauratin it(is the) Command(of) AllahThenthey turn awayfromafterﱫﱬthatand notthose(are) the believers(43)

But why do they come to you for judgment when they ˹already˺ have the Torah containing Allah’s judgment, then they turn away after all? They are not ˹true˺ believers.

5:44

IndeedWe revealedthe Tauratin it(was) Guidanceﱶﱷand lightjudgedby itthe Prophetsthose whohad submitted (to Allah)for those whowere Jewsﱿand the Rabbisand the scholarswith whatthey were entrustedof(the) Book(of) Allahand they wereto itﲈﲉwitnessesSo (do) notfearthe peoplebut fear Meand (do) notsellMy Verses(for) a priceﲒﲓlittleAnd whoever(does) notjudgeby whathas revealedAllahthen those[they](are) the disbelievers(44)

Indeed, We revealed the Torah, containing guidance and light, by which the prophets, who submitted themselves to Allah, made judgments for Jews. So too did the rabbis and scholars judge according to Allah’s Book, with which they were entrusted and of which they were made keepers. So do not fear the people; fear Me! Nor trade my revelations for a fleeting gain. And those who do not judge by what Allah has revealed are ˹truly˺ the disbelievers.

5:45

And We ordainedfor themin itthat the lifefor the lifeand the eyefor the eyeand the nosefor the noseand the earfor the earand the toothfor the toothand (for) woundsﲭﲮ(is) retributionBut whoevergives charitywith itthen it isan expiationﲴﲵfor himAnd whoever(does) notjudgeby whathas revealedAllahthen those[they](are) the wrongdoersﲿ(45)

We ordained for them in the Torah, “A life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth—and for wounds equal retaliation.” But whoever waives it charitably, it will be atonement for them. And those who do not judge by what Allah has revealed are ˹truly˺ the wrongdoers.
