EnglishSaheeh International
O you who were given the Scripture, believe in what We have sent down [to Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)], confirming that which is with you, before We obliterate faces and turn them toward their backs or curse them as We cursed the sabbath-breakers. And ever is the matter [i.e., decree] of Allāh accomplished.

வேதம் வழங்கப்பட்டவர்களே! நாம் உங்கள் முகங்களை மாற்றி, அவற்றைப் பின்புறமாகத் திருப்பிவிடுவதற்கு முன்னே அல்லது (சனிக்கிழமையில் வரம்பு மீறிய) "அஸ்ஹாபுஸ் ஸப்து" என்றோரை நாம் சபித்த பிரகாரம் சபிக்கும் முன்னே, உங்களிடமுள்ள (வேதத்)தை உண்மையாக்கி அருளப் பெற்ற இ(வ்வேதத்)தை (குர்ஆனை) நம்புங்கள்;. அல்லாஹ்வின் கட்டளை, நிறைவேற்றப்பட்டே தீரும்.

අහෝ ධර්ම ග්‍රන්ථය දෙනු ලැබූවනි! අපි ඔබේ මුහුණු විකෘති කොට ඒවා පිටු පසට හැරවීමට පෙර හෝ සෙනසුරාදා වැසියනට අපි ශාප කළාක් මෙන් අප ශාප කිරීමට පෙර හෝ නුඹලා සතුව ඇති දෑ තහවුරු කරමින් අපි නුඹලාට පහළ කළ දෑ විශ්වාස කරනු. තවද අල්ලාහ්ගේ නියෝගය අනිවාර්යයෙන් ම සිදු කරනු ලබන්නක් විය.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
اے اہل کتاب! جو کچھ ہم نے نازل فرمایا ہے جو اس کی بھی تصدیق کرنے واﻻ ہے جو تمہارے پاس ہے، اس پر ایمان لاؤ اس سے پہلے کہ ہم چہرے بگاڑ دیں اور انہیں لوٹا کر پیٹھ کی طرف کر دیں ، یا ان پر لعنت بھیجیں جیسے ہم نے ہفتے کے دن والوں پر لعنت کی ہے، اور اللہ تعالیٰ کا کام کیا گیا۔

啓典の民よ,あなたがたが持っているもの(ムーサーの律法)を確証するために,(いま) われが下したもの(クルアーン)を信じなさい。われがあなたがたの顔を塗りつぶして,それを後ろの方にねじ回わされない前に(信じなさい)。また且つて安息日を破った者たちが,見限られたように見はなされない前に(信じなさい)。アッラーの命令は,必ず成し遂げられるのである。

曾受天经的人啊!我将使许多面目改变,而转向后方,或弃绝他们如弃绝犯安息日的人那样,在这件事实现之前,你们应当信我所降示的新经,这部新经能证实你们所有的古经。真主的判决是要被执行的。

Tafsir of 4:47

Calling the People of the Book to Embrace the Faith, Warning them Against Doing Otherwise Allah commands the People of the Scriptures to believe in what He has sent down to His servant and Messenger, Muhammad ﷺ , the Glorious Book that conforms to the good news that they already have about Muhammad ﷺ. He also warns them, مِّن قَبْلِ أَن نَّطْمِسَ وُجُوهاً فَنَرُدَّهَا عَلَى أَدْبَرِهَآ (before We efface faces and turn them backwards) Al-`Awfi said that Ibn `Abbas said that `effacing' here refers to blindness, فَنَرُدَّهَا عَلَى أَدْبَرِهَآ (and turn them backwards) meaning, We put their faces on their backs, and make them walk backwards, since their eyes will be in their backs. Similar was said by Qatadah and `Atiyah Al-`Awfi. This makes the punishment even more severe, and it is a parable that Allah set for ignoring the truth, preferring the wrong way and turning away from the plain path for the paths of misguidance. Therefore, such people walk backwards.…
