Basi Taluti alipo ondoka na majeshi alisema: Mwenyezi Mungu atakujaribuni kwa mto. (2:249)

﴿فَلَمَّا فَصَلَ طَالُوتُ بِالْجُنُودِ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مُبْتَلِيكُم بِنَهَرٍ فَمَن شَرِبَ مِنْهُ فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي وَمَن لَّمْ يَطْعَمْهُ فَإِنَّهُ مِنِّي إِلَّا مَنِ اغْتَرَفَ غُرْفَةً بِيَدِهِ ۚ فَشَرِبُوا مِنْهُ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا مِّنْهُمْ ۚ فَلَمَّا جَاوَزَهُ هُوَ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَعَهُ قَالُوا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا الْيَوْمَ بِجَالُوتَ وَجُنُودِهِ ۚ قَالَ الَّذِينَ يَظُنُّونَ أَنَّهُم مُّلَاقُو اللَّهِ كَم مِّن فِئَةٍ قَلِيلَةٍ غَلَبَتْ فِئَةً كَثِيرَةً بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ﴾
[ البقرة: 249]

Basi Taluti alipo ondoka na majeshi alisema: Mwenyezi Mungu atakujaribuni kwa mto. Atakaye kunywa humo si pamoja nami, na asiye kunywa atakuwa pamoja nami: ila atakaye teka kiasi ya kitanga cha mkono wake. Lakini walikunywa humo isipo kuwa wachache tu miongoni mwao. Alipo vuka mto yeye na wale walio amini pamoja naye, walisema: Leo hatumwezi Jaluti (Goliati) na majeshi yake. Wakasema wale wenye yakini ya kukutana na Mwenyezi Mungu: Makundi mangapi madogo yameshinda makundi makubwa kwa idhini ya Mwenyezi Mungu. Na Mwenyezi Mungu yu pamoja na wenye kusubiri.

And when Saul went forth with the soldiers, he said, "Indeed, Allah will be testing you with a river. So whoever drinks from it is not of me, and whoever does not taste it is indeed of me, excepting one who takes [from it] in the hollow of his hand." But they drank from it, except a [very] few of them. Then when he had crossed it along with those who believed with him, they said, "There is no power for us today against Goliath and his soldiers." But those who were certain that they would meet Allah said, "How many a small company has overcome a large company by permission of Allah. And Allah is with the patient."

Tafsiri ya maana yake kwenye lugha ya Kiswahili

Basi Twaluti alipo ondoka na majeshi alisema: Mwenyezi Mungu atakujaribuni kwa mto. Atakaye kunywa humo si pamoja nami, na asiye kunywa atakuwa pamoja nami: ila atakaye teka kiasi ya kitanga cha mkono wake. Lakini walikunywa humo isipo kuwa wachache tu miongoni mwao. Alipo vuka mto yeye na wale walio amini pamoja naye, walisema: Leo hatumwezi Jaluti (Goliati) na majeshi yake. Wakasema wale wenye yakini ya kukutana na Mwenyezi Mungu: Makundi mangapi madogo yameshinda makundi makubwa kwa idhini ya Mwenyezi Mungu. Na Mwenyezi Mungu yu pamoja na wenye kusubiri.

Taluti alipo toka nao aliwaambia: -Mwenyezi Mungu anakujaribuni kwa mto ambao mtaukuta njiani mwenu. Msinywe katika mto huo ila tama moja tu. Mwenye kunywa zaidi ya hivyo basi hayumo katika jeshi letu, wala jamii yetu. Kwani amekuwa ameacha kumtii Mwenyezi Mungu. Wala asinifuate ila yule ambaye hakunywa ila tama moja tu.- Hawakuweza kuvumilia jaribio hili, wakanywa maji mengi, ila wachache tu kati yao. Basi akafuatana na hichi kikundi kidogo akavuka nao mto. Walipoona wingi wa maadui wao walisema: -Hatutoweza hii leo kupigana na Jaluti na askari wake kwa wingi wao na uchache wetu.- Baadhi yao wenye nyoyo madhbuti kwa kutaraji kwao malipo ya Mwenyezi Mungu watapo kutana naye, walisema: -Msiogope kitu! Mara nyingi wachache wenye kuamini huwashinda wengi walio makafiri. Subirini, kwani ushindi watapata wenye kusubiri.-
