| Tahir ul Qadri | پھرجب طالوت اپنے لشکروں کو لے کر شہر سے نکلا، تو اس نے کہا: بیشک اﷲ تمہیں ایک نہر کے ذریعے آزمانے والا ہے، پس جس نے اس میں سے پانی پیا سو وہ میرے (ساتھیوں میں) سے نہیں ہوگا، اور جو اس کو نہیں پئے گا پس وہی میری (جماعت) سے ہوگا مگر جو شخص ایک چُلّو (کی حد تک) اپنے ہاتھ سے پی لے (اس پر کوئی حرج نہیں)، سو ان میں سے چند لوگوں کے سوا باقی سب نے اس سے پانی پی لیا، پس جب طالوت اور ان کے ایمان والے ساتھی نہر کے پار چلے گئے، تو کہنے لگے: آج ہم میں جالوت اور اس کی فوجوں سے مقابلے کی طاقت نہیں، جو لوگ یہ یقین رکھتے تھے کہ وہ (شہید ہو کر یا مرنے کے بعد) اﷲ سے ملاقات کا شرف پانے والے ہیں، کہنے لگے: کئی مرتبہ اﷲ کے حکم سے تھوڑی سی جماعت (خاصی) بڑی جماعت پر غالب آجاتی ہے، اور اﷲ صبر کرنے والوں کو اپنی معیّت سے نوازتا ہے | ||||||
| Yousuf Ali | When Talut set forth with the armies, he said: "Allah will test you at the stream: if any drinks of its water, He goes not with my army: Only those who taste not of it go with me: A mere sip out of the hand is excused." but they all drank of it, except a few. When they crossed the river,- He and the faithful ones with him,- they said: "This day We cannot cope with Goliath and his forces." but those who were convinced that they must meet Allah, said: "How oft, by Allah's will, Hath a small force vanquished a big one? Allah is with those who steadfastly persevere."

| Ahmed Raza Khan | پھر جب طالوت لشکروں کو لے کر شہر سے جدا ہوا بولا بیشک اللہ تمہیں ایک نہر سے آزمانے والا ہے تو جو اس کا پانی پئے وہ میرا نہیں اور جو نہ پیئے وہ میرا ہے مگر وہ جو ایک چلُو اپنے ہاتھ سے لے لے تو سب نے اس سے پیا مگر تھوڑوں نے پھر جب طالوت اور اس کے ساتھ کے مسلمان نہر کے پار گئے بولے ہم میں آج طاقت نہیں جالوت اور اس کے لشکروں کی بولے وہ جنہیں اللہ سے ملنے کا یقین تھا کہ بارہا کم جماعت غالب آئی ہے زیادہ گروہ پر اللہ کے حکم سے، اور اللہ صابروں کے ساتھ ہے | ||||||
| Shabbir Ahmed | پھر جب چلا طالوت لشکر لے کر تو اس نے کہا بیشک اللہ آزمائش کرے گا تمہاری ایک دریا سے سو جو شخص پئے گا (پانی) اس میں سے تو وہ نہیں ہے میرا ساتھی اور جو نہ پیئے گا اسے تو ہو بیشک میرا ساتھی ہے ہاں اگر کوئی بھرلے چلّو بھر (پانی) اپنے ہاتھ سے (خیر) مگر پی لیا انہوں نے اس میں سے (سیر ہوکر) سوائے گروہ قلیل کے ان میں سے۔ پھر جب پار ہوا دریا سے وہ خود اور اہلِ ایمان جو اس کے ساتھ تھے تو کہنے لگے نہیں ہے مقابلے کی طاقت ہم میں آج، جالوت اور اس کے لشکر سے۔ کہنے لگے وہ لوگ جو سمجھتے تھے کہ انہیں حاضر ہونا ہے اللہ کے سامنے، کہ بارہا ایک گروہ قلیل غالب آیا ہے بڑے گروہ پر اللہ کے حُکم سے۔ اور اللہ ساتھ ہے صبر کرنے والوں کے۔ | ||||||

| Literal | So when Saul/Taloot separated/parted with the soldiers/warriors , he said: "That God (is) testing you with a river/waterway, so who drank from it, so he is not from me, and who did not taste it , so he is from me, except who scooped a scoop, with his hand." So they drank from it, except a few from them, so when he crossed it (the river), he and those who believed with him, they said: "No power/ability/energy to us today with Goliath and his soldiers/warriors." Those who assume/suppose that they are meeting God said: "How many (times) from a little/small group defeated a group (of) many with God's will?" And God (is) with the patient/enduring. | ||||||

Allah is with those who steadfastly persevere." | ||||||
| Pickthal | And when Saul set out with the army, he said: Lo! Allah will try you by (the ordeal of) a river. Whosoever therefore drinketh thereof he is not of me, and whosoever tasteth it not he is of me, save him who taketh (thereof) in the hollow of his hand. But they drank thereof, all save a few of them. And after he had crossed (the river), he and those who believed with him, they said: We have no power this day against Goliath and his hosts. But those who knew that they would meet Allah exclaimed: How many a little company hath overcome a mighty host by Allah's leave! Allah is with the steadfast. | ||||||
| Arberry | And when Saul went forth with the hosts he said, 'God will try you with a river; whosoever drinks of it is not of me, and whoso tastes it flot, he is of me, saving him who scoops up with his hand.' But they drank of it, except a few of them; and when he crossed it, and those who believed with him, they said, 'We have no power today against Goliath and his hosts.' Said those who reckoned they should meet God, 'How often a little company has overcome a numerous company, by God's leave! And God is with the patient.' | ||||||
| Shakir | So when Talut departed with the forces, he said: Surely Allah will try you with a river; whoever then drinks from it, he is not of me, and whoever does not taste of it, he is surely of me, except he who takes with his hand as much of it as fills the hand; but with the exception of a few of them they drank from it. So when he had crossed it, he and those who believed with him, they said: We have today no power against Jalut and his forces. Those who were sure that they would meet their Lord said: How often has a small party vanquished a numerous host by Allah's permission, and Allah is with the patient. | ||||||
| Sarwar | When Saul set forth with the army he said, "God will test you with a river.

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." | ||||||
| Malik | When TaLut marched forth with his army, he announced: "Allah will test you at a certain river; anyone who will drink from its water shall cease to be my soldier, and those who will not drink to quench their thirst with its water except a sip or so from the hollow of their hands shall fight on my side." They all drank from it, inspite of this warning, except a few of them. When he and those who believed with him crossed the river, they said: "We have no power left this day against JaLut (Goliath) and his warriors." But the believers, who knew they would meet Allah, replied: "It has often happened that a small group, by the grace of Allah, has vanquished a mighty army. Allah is with those who endure with patience."[249] | ||||||
| Maulana Ali** | So when Saul set out with the forces, he said: surely Allah will try you with a river.

| Qaribullah | And when Saul marched out with his army, he said: 'Allah will test you with a river. He who drinks from it shall cease to be one of mine but he who does not drink from it, except he who scoops up once with his hand, shall be of mine. ' But for a few of them, they all drank from it. And when he had crossed it with those who believed, they said: 'We have no power this day against Goliath and his soldiers.

| George Sale | And when Jalut departed with his soldiers, he said, verily God will prove you by the river: For he who drinketh thereof, shall not be on my side -- but he who shall not taste thereof he shall be on my side -- except he who drinketh a draught out of his hand. And they drank thereof, except a few of them. And when they had passed the river, he and those who believed with him, they said, we have no strength to day, against Jalut and his forces.

And God is with those who patiently persevere. | ||||||
| JM Rodwell | And when Saul marched forth with his forces, he said, "God will test you by a river: He who drinketh of it shall not be of my band; but he who shall not taste it, drinking a drink out of the hand excepted, shall be of my band." And, except a few of them, t | ||||||
| Asad | And when Saul set out with his forces, he said: "Behold, God will now try you by a river: he who shall drink of it will not belong to me, whereas he who shall refrain from tasting it - he, indeed, will belong to me; but forgiven shall be he who shall scoop up but a single handful." However, save for a few of them, they all drank [their fill] of it. And as soon as he and those who had kept faith with him had crossed the river, the others said: "No strength have we today [to stand up] against Goliath and his forces!" [Yet] those who knew with certainty that they were destined to meet God, replied: "How often has a small host overcome a great host by God's leave! For God is with those who are patient in adversity." | ||||||
| Khalifa** | When Saul took command of the troops, he said, "GOD is putting you to the test by means of a stream. Anyone who drinks from it does not belong with me - only those who do not taste it belong with me - unless it is just a single sip." They drank from it, except a few of them. When he crossed it with those who believed, they said, "Now we lack the strength to face Goliath and his troops." Those who were conscious of meeting GOD said, "Many a small army defeated a large army by GOD's leave. GOD is with those who steadfastly persevere." | ||||||
| Hilali/Khan** | Then when Taloot (Saul) set out with the army, he said: "Verily! Allah will try you by a river. So whoever drinks thereof, he is not of me, and whoever tastes it not, he is of me, except him who takes (thereof) in the hollow of his hand." Yet, they drank thereof, all, except a few of them. So when he had crossed it (the river), he and those who believed with him, they said: "We have no power this day against Jaloot (Goliath) and his hosts." But those who knew with certainty that they were to meet their Lord, said: "How often a small group overcame a mighty host by Allahs Leave?" And Allah is with As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.). | ||||||
| QXP Shabbir Ahemd** | The Commander Saul then marched along with his soldiers to face the armies of Jaloot (Goliath). They came upon a rivulet on their way. Saul, in order to create discipline among his soldiers and to test their resolve commanded them to refrain from drinking that water, save a sip out of the hand. But except for a few they drank it. Their behavior was hardly strange when they crossed the rivulet. They complained, "This day we cannot cope with Goliath and his armies." But those who were resolute and were convinced that they were marching forward in the Cause of Allah, said, "How often a small force has overwhelmed a big army since it is the Law of Allah that He is with those who are proactively steadfast." | ||||||
