S:  The followers of the Book ask you to bring down to them a book from heaven; so indeed they demanded of Musa a greater thing than that, for they said:  Show us Allah manifestly; so the lightning overtook them on account of their injustice.  Then they took the calf (for a god), after clear signs had come to them, but We pardoned this; and We gave to Musa clear authority.

004.154 Y:  And for their covenant we raised over them (the towering height) of Mount (Sinai); and (on another occasion) we said:  “Enter the gate with humility”; and (once again) we commanded them:  “Transgress not in the matter of the Sabbath.”  And we took from them a solemn covenant.

P:  And We caused the Mount to tower above them at (the taking of) their covenant:  and We bade them:  Enter the gate, prostrate! and We bode them:  Transgress not the Sabbath! and We took from them a firm covenant.

S:  And We lifted the mountain (Sainai) over them at (the taking of the covenant) and We said to them:  Enter the door making obeisance; and We said to them:  Do not exceed the limits of the Sabbath, and We made with them a firm covenant.

004.155 Y:  (They have incurred divine displeasure):  In that they broke their covenant; that they rejected the signs of Allah; that they slew the Messengers in defiance of right; that they said, “Our hearts are the wrappings (which preserve Allah’s Word; We need no more)";- Nay, Allah hath set the seal on their hearts for their blasphemy, and little is it they believe;-

P:  Then because of their breaking of their covenant, and their disbelieving in the revelations of Allah, and their slaying of the prophets wrongfully, and their saying:  Our hearts are hardened — Nay, but Allah set a seal upon them for their disbelief, so that they believe not save a few —

S:  Therefore, for their breaking their covenant and their disbelief in the communications of Allah and their killing the prophets wrongfully and their saying:  Our hearts are covered; nay!  Allah set a seal upon them owing to their unbelief, so they shall not believe except a few.

004.156 Y:  That they rejected Faith; that they uttered against Mary a grave false charge;

P:  And because of their disbelief and of their speaking against Mary a tremendous calumny;

S:  And for their unbelief and for their having uttered against Marium a grievous calumny.

004.157 Y:  That they said (in boast), “We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:-

P:  And because of their saying:  We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah’s messenger — they slew him not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them; and lo! those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture; they slew him not for certain.
