5:58

And whenyou make a callforthe prayerthey take it(in) ridiculeﱇﱈand funThat(is) because they(are) a people(who do) notunderstand(58)

When you call to prayer, they mock it in amusement. This is because they are a people without understanding.

5:59

SayO People(of) the BookDoyou resent[of] usexceptthatwe believein Allahand whathas been revealedto usand whatwas revealedfrombeforeand thatmost of you(are) defiantly disobedient(59)

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “O People of the Book! Do you resent us only because we believe in Allah and what has been revealed to us and what was revealed before—while most of you are rebellious?”

5:60

SayShallI inform you(of) worsethanthat(as) recompensefromﱬﱭAllahWhomhas (been) cursed(by) Allahand He became angrywith himand madeof them[the] apesand [the] swinesand (who) worshippedﱸﱹthe false deitiesThose(are) worse(in) positionand farthest astrayfromﱿ(the) evenway(60)

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Shall I inform you of those who deserve a worse punishment from Allah ˹than the rebellious˺? It is those who earned Allah’s condemnation and displeasure—some being reduced to apes and pigs1 and worshippers of false gods. These are far worse in rank and farther astray from the Right Way.”

5:61

And whenthey come to youthey sayWe believeBut certainlythey enteredwith disbeliefand theycertainlywent outﲌﲍwith itAnd Allahknows best[of] whatthey werehiding(61)

When they come to you ˹believers˺ they say, “We believe.” But they are committed to disbelief when they enter and when they leave. And Allah knows what they hide.

5:62

And you seemanyof themhasteninginto[the] sinand [the] transgressionand eatingﲜﲝthe forbiddenSurely evil(is) whatthey weredoing(62)

You see many of them racing towards sin, transgression, and consumption of forbidden gain. Evil indeed are their actions!

5:63

Why (do) notforbid themthe Rabbisand the religious scholarsfromtheir sayingthe sinfuland their eatingﲫﲬ(of) the forbiddenSurely, evil(is) whatthey used todo(63)

Why do their rabbis and scholars not forbid them from saying what is sinful and consuming what is unlawful? Evil indeed is their inaction!

5:64

And saidthe JewsThe Hand(of) Allahﲶﲷ(is) chainedAre chainedtheir handsand they have been cursedfor whatﲼﲽthey saidNayﲿHis Hands(are) stretched outHe spendshowﳃﳄHe willsAnd surely increasemanyof themwhathas been revealedto youfromyour Lord(in) rebellionﳎﳏand disbeliefAnd We have castamong them[the] enmityand [the] hatredtill(the) Dayﳖﳗ(of) the ResurrectionEvery timethey kindled(the) fireof [the] warit (was) extinguishedﳝﳞ(by) AllahAnd they striveinthe earthﳢﳣspreading corruptionAnd Allah(does) notlovethe corrupters(64)

˹Some among˺ the Jews said, “Allah is tight-fisted.”1 May their fists be tied and they be condemned for what they said. Rather, He is open-handed, giving freely as He pleases. That which has been revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ from your Lord will only cause many of them to increase in wickedness and disbelief. We have stirred among them hostility and hatred until the Day of Judgment. Whenever they kindle the fire of war, Allah puts it out. And they strive to spread corruption in the land. And Allah does not like corruptors.
