مَثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ حُمِّلُوا۟ ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةَ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَحْمِلُوهَا كَمَثَلِ ٱلْحِمَارِ يَحْمِلُ أَسْفَارًۢا ۚ بِئْسَ مَثَلُ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

EnglishSaheeh International
The example of those who were entrusted with the Torah and then did not take it on is like that of a donkey who carries volumes [of books]. Wretched is the example of the people who deny the signs of Allāh. And Allāh does not guide the wrongdoing people.

எவர்கள் தவ்றாத் (வேதம்) சுமத்தப்பெற்று பின்னர் அதன்படி நடக்கவில்லையோ, அவர்களுக்கு உதாரணமாவது ஏடுகளைச் சுமக்கும் கழுதையின் உதாரணத்திற்கு ஒப்பாகும், எச்சமூகத்தார் அல்லாஹ்வின் வசனங்களைப் பொய்ப்பிக்கிறார்களோ அவர்களின் உதாரணம் மிகக் கெட்டதாகும் - அல்லாஹ் அநியாயக்கார சமூகத்தாரை நேர்வழியில் செலுத்தமாட்டான்.

තව්රාතය උසුලන්නට සලස්වනු ලැබ, පසුව එය නො ඉසිලූ අයට උපමාව පොත් පොදියක් උසුලන බූරුවාගේ උපමාව වැනි ය. අල්ලාහ්ගේ වදන් බොරු කළ ජනයාගේ උපමාව නපුරු විය. තවද අල්ලාහ් අපරාධකාරී ජනයාට මග පෙන්වන්නේ නැත.

جن لوگوں کو تورات پر عمل کرنے کا حکم دیا گیا پھر انہوں نے اس پر عمل نہیں کیا ان کی مثال اس گدھے کی سی ہے جو بہت سی کتابیں ﻻدے ہو ۔ اللہ کی باتوں کو جھٹلانے والوں کی بڑی بری مثال ہے اور اللہ (ایسے) ﻇالم قوم کو ہدایت نہیں دیتا.

律法(守護)の責任を負わされて,その後それを果たさない者を譬えれば,書物を運ぶロバのようなものである。アッラーの印を嘘であるとする者も同様で,哀れむべきである。本当にアッラーは悪い行いの者を御導きになられない。

奉命遵守《讨拉特》而不遵守者,譬如驮经的驴子。否认真主的迹象的民众的譬喻,真恶劣!真主是不引导不义的民众的。

Tafsir of 62:5

Admonishing the Jews and challenging Them to wish for Death Allah the Exalted admonishes the Jews who were entrusted with the Tawrah and were ordered to abide by it. However, they did not abide by it, and this is why Allah resembled them to the donkey that carries volumes of books. Surely, when the donkey carries books, it will not understand what these books contain because it is only carrying these books using its strength. This is the example of those who were entrusted with the Tawrah; they read its letter but did not understand its meanings nor abided by them. Rather, they even corrupted and changed the Tawrah. Therefore, they are worse than the donkey, because the donkey cannot understand. They, on the other hand, could have understood using their minds, but their minds were of no benefit. This is why Allah the Exalted said in another Ayah, أُوْلَئِكَ كَالأَنْعَمِ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ أُوْلَئِكَ هُمُ الْغَفِلُونَ (They are like cattle, nay even more astray; those! They are the heedless.) (7:179), and said, بِئْسَ مَثَلُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بَِايَتِ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهُ لاَ يَهْدِى الْقَوْمَ الظَّلِمِينَ (How bad is the example of people who deny the Ayat of Allah.…
