وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ أَقَامُوا۟ ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةَ وَٱلْإِنجِيلَ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِم مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ لَأَكَلُوا۟ مِن فَوْقِهِمْ وَمِن تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِهِم ۚ مِّنْهُمْ أُمَّةٌ مُّقْتَصِدَةٌ ۖ وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنْهُمْ سَآءَ مَا يَعْمَلُونَ

EnglishSaheeh International
And if only they had upheld [the law of] the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been revealed to them from their Lord [i.e., the Qur’ān], they would have consumed [provision] from above them and from beneath their feet. Among them are a moderate [i.e., acceptable] community, but many of them - evil is that which they do.

இன்னும்; அவர்கள் தவ்ராத்தையும், இன்ஜீலையும், இன்னும் தம் இறைவனிடத்திலிருந்து தங்களுக்கு இறக்கப்பட்டதையும், நிலைநாட்டியிருந்தால் அவர்கள் மேலே - (வானத்தில்) இருந்தும், தம் பாதங்களுக்கு அடியில் (பூமியில்) இருந்தும் (இன்பத்தைப்) புசித்திருப்பார்கள்; அவர்களில் சிலர்(தாம்) நேர்வழியுள்ள சமுதாயத்தினராய் இருக்கின்றனர், அவர்களில் பெரும்பாலோர் செய்யும் காரியங்கள் மிகக் கெட்டவையேயாகும்.

තවද තව්රාතය ද ඉන්ජීලය ද ඔවුන්ගේ පරමාධිපතිගෙන් ඔවුන් වෙත පහළ කරනු ලැබූ දෑ ද ඔවුහු ක්‍රියාත්මක කළේ නම් ඔවුනට ඉහළින් ද ඔවුන්ගේ පාදවලට යටින් ද ඔවුහු භුක්ති විඳින්නට තිබුණි. ඔවුන් අතරින් මධ්‍යස්ථ සමූහයක් ද විය. ඔවුන්ගෙන් බොහෝ දෙනා සිදු කරන දෑ නපුරු විය.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
اور اگر یہ لوگ تورات وانجیل اور ان کی جانب جو کچھ اللہ تعالیٰ کی طرف سے نازل فرمایا گیا ہے، ان کے پورے پابند رہتے تو یہ لوگ اپنے اوپر سے اور نیچے سے روزیاں پاتے اور کھاتے، ایک جماعت تو ان میں سے درمیانہ روش کی ہے، باقی ان میں سے بہت سے لوگوں کے برے اعمال ہیں۔

もしかれらが律法と福音,そして主からかれらに下されたものを順奉するならば,かれらの上からも足許からも,必ず(豊かに)糧を与えられるであろう。かれらの中には,正義を行う一団もいる。だが多くの者の行うところは,邪悪である。

假若他们遵守《讨拉特》和《引支勒》和他们的主所降示他们的其他经典,那末,他们必得仰食头上的,俯食脚下的。他们中有一伙中和的人;他们中有许多行为恶劣的人。

Tafsir of 5:66

The Jews Say That Allah's Hand is Tied up! Allah states that the Jews, may Allah's continuous curses descend on them until the Day of Resurrection, describe Him as a miser. Allah is far holier than what they attribute to Him. The Jews also claim that Allah is poor, while they are rich. `Ali bin Abi Talhah reported that Ibn `Abbas commented on Allah's statement, وَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ يَدُ اللَّهِ مَغْلُولَةٌ (The Jews say, "Allah's Hand is tied up.") "They do not mean that Allah's Hand is literally tied up. Rather, they mean that He is a miser and does not spend from what He has. Allah is far holier than what they attribute to Him." Similar was reported from Mujahid, `Ikrimah, Qatadah, As-Suddi and Ad-Dahhak. Allah said in another Ayah, وَلاَ تَجْعَلْ يَدَكَ مَغْلُولَةً إِلَى عُنُقِكَ وَلاَ تَبْسُطْهَا كُلَّ الْبَسْطِ فَتَقْعُدَ مَلُومًا مَّحْسُوراً (And let not your hand be tied (like a miser) to your neck, nor stretch it forth to its utmost reach (like a spendthrift), so that you become blameworthy and in severe poverty.) In this Ayah, Allah prohibits stinginess and extravagance, which includes unnecessary and improper expenditures.…
