[We said], "O David, indeed We have made you a successor upon the earth, so judge between the people in truth and do not follow [your own] desire, as it will lead you astray from the way of Allāh." Indeed, those who go astray from the way of Allāh will have a severe punishment for having forgotten the Day of Account.

(நாம் அவரிடம் கூறினோம்;) "தாவூதே! நிச்சயமாக நாம் உம்மை பூமியில் பின்தோன்றலாக ஆக்கினோம்; ஆகவே மனிதர்களிடையே சத்தியத்தைக் கொண்டு (நீதமாக)த் தீர்ப்புச் செய்யும்; அன்றியும், அனோ இச்சையைப் பின் பற்றாதீர்; (ஏனெனில் அது) உம்மை அல்லாஹ்வின் பாதையை விட்டும் வழி கெடுத்து விடும். நிச்சயமாக எவர் அல்லாஹ்வின் பாதையை விட்டு வழிகெடுக்கிறாரோ, அவர்களுக்குக் கேள்வி கணக்குக் கேட்கப்படும் நாளை மறந்து விட்டமைக்காக மிகக்கொடிய வேதனையுண்டு.

අහෝ දාවූද්! අපි ඔබ මහපොළොවේ නියෝජිතයකු බවට පත් කළෙමු. එහෙයින් ඔබ ජනයා අතර යුක්තිගරුකව තීන්දු දෙනු. තවද ආශාවන් අනුගමනය නො කරනු. එවිට එය අල්ලාහ්ගේ මාර්ගයෙන් ඔබ නොමග යවනු ඇත. නියත වශයෙන් ම අල්ලාහ්ගේ මාර්ගයෙන් නොමග ගියවුන් වන ඔවුනට විනිශ්චය දිනය ඔවුන් අමතක කළ බැවින් දැඩි දඬුවමක් ඇත.

اے داؤد! ہم نے تمہیں زمین میں خلیفہ بنا دیا تم لوگوں کے درمیان حق کے ساتھ فیصلے کرو اور اپنی نفسانی خواہش کی پیروی نہ کرو ورنہ وه تمہیں اللہ کی راه سے بھٹکا دے گی، یقیناً جو لوگ اللہ کی راه سے بھٹک جاتے ہیں ان کے لئے سخت عذاب ہے اس لئے کہ انہوں نے حساب کے دن کو بھلا دیا ہے.

「ダーウードよ,われはあなたを地上の代理者にした。だから人びとを,真理によって裁き,私欲に従って,アッラーの道を踏みはずしてはならない。アッラーの道から迷う者は清算の日を忘れた者で,必ず厳しい懲罰にあう。」
