Hukuwaona watukufu katika Wana wa Israili baada ya Musa, walipo mwambia Nabii (2:246)

﴿أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الْمَلَإِ مِن بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِن بَعْدِ مُوسَىٰ إِذْ قَالُوا لِنَبِيٍّ لَّهُمُ ابْعَثْ لَنَا مَلِكًا نُّقَاتِلْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ۖ قَالَ هَلْ عَسَيْتُمْ إِن كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْقِتَالُ أَلَّا تُقَاتِلُوا ۖ قَالُوا وَمَا لَنَا أَلَّا نُقَاتِلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَقَدْ أُخْرِجْنَا مِن دِيَارِنَا وَأَبْنَائِنَا ۖ فَلَمَّا كُتِبَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْقِتَالُ تَوَلَّوْا إِلَّا قَلِيلًا مِّنْهُمْ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِالظَّالِمِينَ﴾
[ البقرة: 246]

Hukuwaona watukufu katika Wana wa Israili baada ya Musa, walipo mwambia Nabii wao: Tuwekee mfalme ili tupigane katika Njia ya Mwenyezi Mungu? Akasema: Je, haielekei ikiwa mtaandikiwa vita kuwa msipigane? Wakasema: Itakuwaje tusipigane katika Njia ya Mwenyezi Mungu, na hali tumetolewa majumbani kwetu na watoto wetu? Lakini walipo andikiwa kupigana waligeuka, isipo kuwa wachache miongoni mwao. Na Mwenyezi Mungu anawajua madhaalimu.

Swahili Translation - Al-Barwani

English - Sahih International

Have you not considered the assembly of the Children of Israel after [the time of] Moses when they said to a prophet of theirs, "Send to us a king, and we will fight in the way of Allah "? He said, "Would you perhaps refrain from fighting if fighting was prescribed for you?" They said, "And why should we not fight in the cause of Allah when we have been driven out from our homes and from our children?" But when fighting was prescribed for them, they turned away, except for a few of them. And Allah is Knowing of the wrongdoers.

Tafsiri ya maana yake kwenye lugha ya Kiswahili

Hukuwaona watukufu katika Wana wa Israili baada ya Musa, walipo mwambia Nabii wao: Tuwekee mfalme ili tupigane katika Njia ya Mwenyezi Mungu? Akasema: Je, haielekei ikiwa mtaandikiwa vita kuwa msipigane? Wakasema: Itakuwaje tusipigane katika Njia ya Mwenyezi Mungu, na hali tumetolewa majumbani kwetu na watoto wetu? Lakini walipo andikiwa kupigana waligeuka, isipo kuwa wachache miongoni mwao. Na Mwenyezi Mungu anawajua madhaalimu.

Zingatia khabari hii ya ajabu ya baadhi ya Wana wa Israili baada ya zama za Musa. Walimtaka Nabii wao wa wakati ule awawekee mtawala ataye weza kuwakusanya baada ya mfarakano walio kuwa nao, awaongoze chini ya bendera ya kutukuza Neno la Mwenyezi Mungu na kurejeza utukufu wao. Yule Nabii akawauliza kuhakikisha kama wana ukweli katika jambo hilo: -Je haiwezi kuwa nyinyi mtaingia woga mkatae kupigana pindi mkifaridhiwa mpigane?- Wakakataa hayo wakisema: -Itakuwaje tusipigane kurejeza haki zetu, na hali sisi tumefukuzwa makwetu na adui?- Mwenyezi Mungu alipo waitikia yale wayatakayo na akaandikia vita wakakataa ila kikundi cha wachache tu miongoni mwao. Na kule kukataa kwao ni dhulma kujidhulumu nafsi zao, na Nabii wao na Dini yao. Na Mwenyezi Mungu anayajua hayo kwao, na atawalipa malipo ya madhaalimu.
