அவர்களை நாம் பூமியில் பல பிரிவினராகச் (சிதறித்திரியுமாறு) ஆக்கி விட்டோம்; அவர்களில் நல்லவர்களுமிருக்கின்றார்கள். அதுவல்லாத கெட்டவர்களும் இருக்கின்றார்கள் - அவர்கள் (நன்மையின் பால்) திரும்பும் பொருட்டு அவர்களை நன்மைகளைக் கொண்டும், தீமைகளைக் கொண்டும் சோதித்தோம்.

තවද අපි මහපොළොවේ සමූහයන් වශයෙන් ඔවුන් බෙදා වෙන් කළෙමු. ඔවුන් අතරින් දැහැමියන් වෙති. තවද ඔවුන් අතරින් එසේ නො වන අය ද වෙති. තවද ඔවුන් නැවත හැරිය හැකි වනු පිණිස යහපත් හා නපුරු දැයින් අපි ඔවුන් පරීක්ෂා කළෙමු.
