2:89

And whencame to thema BookoffromAllahconfirmingwhat (was)with themthough they used tofrombefore(that), pray for victoryoverthose whodisbelieved then whencame to themwhatthey recognizedthey disbelievedﱖﱗin itSo (the) curse(of) Allah(is) onthe disbelievers(89)

Although they used to pray for victory ˹by means of the Prophet˺ over the polytheists,1 when there came to them a Book from Allah which they recognized,2 confirming the Scripture they had ˹in their hands˺, they rejected it. So may Allah’s condemnation be upon the disbelievers.

2:90

Evil (is) that(for) which they have soldwiththemselvesthatthey disbelievein whathas revealedAllahgrudgingthatsends downAllahofHis GraceonwhomHe willsfromﱰﱱHis servantsSo they have drawn (on themselves)wrathuponﱵﱶwrathAnd for the disbelievers(is) a punishmenthumiliating(90)

Miserable is the price they have sold their souls for—denying Allah’s revelation and resenting Allah for granting His grace to whoever He wills of His servants! They have earned wrath upon wrath. And such disbelievers will suffer a humiliating punishment.

2:91

And whenit is saidto themBelieveﱿin whathas revealedAllahthey sayWe believein whatwas revealedto usAnd they disbelievein what(is) besides itwhile it(is) the truthconfirmingwhatﲎﲏ(is) with themSayThen why(did) you kill(the) Prophets(of) Allahfrombeforeifyou werebelievers(91)

When it is said to them: “Believe in what Allah has revealed,” they reply, “We only believe in what was sent down to us,” and they deny what came afterwards, though it is the truth confirming their own Scriptures! Ask ˹them, O  Prophet˺, “Why then did you kill Allah’s prophets before, if you are ˹truly˺ believers?”

2:92

ﲛ ﲜAnd indeedcame to youMusawith [the] clear signsthenyou tookthe calffromafter himand you(were) wrongdoers(92)

Indeed, Moses came to you with clear proofs, then you worshipped the calf in his absence, acting wrongfully.

2:93

And whenWe tookyour covenantand We raisedover youthe mountHoldwhatWe gave youwith firmnessﲲﲳand listenThey saidWe heardand we disobeyedAnd they were made to drinkintheir hearts(love of) the calfﲻﲼbecause of their disbeliefSayEvil (is) thatﲿorders you (to do) itwithyour faithifyou arebelievers(93)

And when We took your covenant and raised the mountain above you ˹saying˺, “Hold firmly to that ˹Scripture˺ which We have given you and obey,” they answered, “We hear and disobey.” The love of the calf was rooted in their hearts because of their disbelief. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “How evil is what your ˹so-called˺ belief prompts you to do, if you ˹actually˺ believe ˹in the Torah˺!”
