Na wakafuatia baada yao kizazi kibaya walio rithi Kitabu. Wakashika anasa za (7:169)

﴿فَخَلَفَ مِن بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ وَرِثُوا الْكِتَابَ يَأْخُذُونَ عَرَضَ هَٰذَا الْأَدْنَىٰ وَيَقُولُونَ سَيُغْفَرُ لَنَا وَإِن يَأْتِهِمْ عَرَضٌ مِّثْلُهُ يَأْخُذُوهُ ۚ أَلَمْ يُؤْخَذْ عَلَيْهِم مِّيثَاقُ الْكِتَابِ أَن لَّا يَقُولُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ إِلَّا الْحَقَّ وَدَرَسُوا مَا فِيهِ ۗ وَالدَّارُ الْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لِّلَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ﴾
[ الأعراف: 169]

Na wakafuatia baada yao kizazi kibaya walio rithi Kitabu. Wakashika anasa za haya maisha duni, na wakasema: Tutasamehewa! Na ikiwajia tena anasa kama hiyo wataishika pia. Je, hawakufanyiwa agano la Kitabu kuwa wasiseme juu ya Mwenyezi Mungu ila Haki tu? Nao wamekwisha soma yaliomo humo. Na nyumba ya Akhera ni bora kwa wanao jikinga na maasi. Basi je, hamtii akilini?

Swahili Translation - Al-Barwani

English - Sahih International

And there followed them successors who inherited the Scripture [while] taking the commodities of this lower life and saying, "It will be forgiven for us." And if an offer like it comes to them, they will [again] take it. Was not the covenant of the Scripture taken from them that they would not say about Allah except the truth, and they studied what was in it? And the home of the Hereafter is better for those who fear Allah, so will you not use reason?

Tafsiri ya maana yake kwenye lugha ya Kiswahili

Na wakafuatia baada yao kizazi kibaya walio rithi Kitabu. Wakashika anasa za haya maisha duni, na wakasema: Tutasamehewa! Na ikiwajia tena anasa kama hiyo wataishika pia. Je, hawakufanyiwa agano la Kitabu kuwa wasiseme juu ya Mwenyezi Mungu ila Haki tu? Nao wamekwisha soma yaliomo humo. Na nyumba ya Akhera ni bora kwa wanao jikinga na maasi. Basi je, hamtii akilini?

Baada ya hao tulio kwisha wataja na tukawagawa sehemu mbili, walifuatia waovu wakairithi Taurati kutokana na walio watangulia. Lakini hao hawakufanya yalio amrishwa humo. Kwani wao walishika starehe ya dunia badala ya Neno la Haki. Wakijiambia nafsi zao: Mwenyezi Mungu atatusamehe kwa tunayo yatenda! Wakitaraji maghfira, na ilhali kuwa yakiwajia kama yale waliyo yashika watayashika vile vile. Basi wao wamekuwa wameshikilia kuendelea na madhambi pamoja na kutaka kwao msamaha. Tena basi Mwenyezi Mungu anawatahayarisha kwa vile kutaka maghfira na huku wanaendelea na yao, akasema: Sisi tulichukua kwao ahadi katika Taurati - nao wameyasoma yaliomo humo - kuwa waseme kweli; nao wakasema uwongo! Na hakika neema za nyumba ya Akhera za wanao jikinga na maasi ni bora kuliko starehe za duniani! Basi je, mtaendelea na uasi wenu, wala hayaingii akilini mwenu kuwa neema hizo ni bora kwenu? Na mnakhiari badala yake hizo starehe za dunia?
