Translation of Verse 72-82

72. ˹This is˺ when a man was killed and you disputed who the killer was, but Allah revealed what you concealed.

73. So We instructed, "Strike the dead body with a piece of the cow." This is how ˹easily˺ Allah brings the dead to life, showing you His signs so that you may understand.

74. Even then your hearts became hardened like a rock or even harder, for some rocks gush rivers; others split, spilling water; while others are humbled in awe of Allah. And Allah is never unaware of what you do.

75. Do you ˹believers still˺ expect them to be true to you, though a group of them would hear the word of Allah then knowingly corrupt it after understanding it?

76. When they meet the believers they say, "We believe." But in private they say ˹to each other˺, "Will you disclose to the believers the knowledge Allah has revealed to you, ³⁰ so that they may use it against you before your Lord? Do you not understand?"

77. Do they not know that Allah is aware of what they conceal and what they reveal?

78. And among them are the illiterate who know nothing about the Scripture except lies, and ˹so˺ they ˹wishfully˺ speculate.

79. So woe ³¹ to those who distort the

80. ˹Some of˺ the Jews claim, "The Fire will not touch us except for a number of days." Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ "Have you taken a pledge from Allah-for Allah never breaks His word-or are you ˹just˺ saying about Allah what you do not know?"

81. But no! Those who commit evil and are engrossed in sin will be the residents of the Fire. They will be there forever.

82. And those who believe and do good will be the residents of Paradise. They will be there forever.
