أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلَإِ مِنۢ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مُوسَىٰٓ إِذْ قَالُوا۟ لِنَبِىٍّۢ لَّهُمُ ٱبْعَثْ لَنَا مَلِكًۭا نُّقَٰتِلْ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ قَالَ هَلْ عَسَيْتُمْ إِن كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْقِتَالُ أَلَّا تُقَٰتِلُوا۟ ۖ قَالُوا۟ وَمَا لَنَآ أَلَّا نُقَٰتِلَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَقَدْ أُخْرِجْنَا مِن دِيَٰرِنَا وَأَبْنَآئِنَا ۖ فَلَمَّا كُتِبَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقِتَالُ تَوَلَّوْا۟ إِلَّا قَلِيلًۭا مِّنْهُمْ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌۢ بِٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ Do not you see at the Mullahs of bani Israel from after Moosa, when they said to a leader of theirs, [Charge for us a king, we will fight in way of the One.] The leader replied, [Is it suitable to you that ordained upon you is the fight, except that not you fight?] They replied, [And what is for us except not we would fight in way of the One while certainly we were evicted from our homes, and our children as well?] Then when was ordained upon them the fight, turned back except a handful of them; and the One knows about the ones who are in darkness.

Bethink thee of the leaders of the Children of Israel after Moses, how they said unto a prophet whom they had: Set up for us a king and we will fight in Allah's way. He said: Would ye then refrain from fighting if fighting were prescribed for you? They said: Why should we not fight in Allah's way when we have been driven from our dwellings with our children? Yet, when fighting was prescribed for them, they turned away, all save a few of them. Allah is aware of evil-doers. - Pickthall, Marmaduke
⦿
Have you not regarded the elite of the Israelites after Moses, when they said to their prophet, [Appoint for us a king that we may fight in the way of Allah.] He said, [May it not be that you will not fight if fighting were prescribed for you?] They said, [Why should we not fight in the way of Allah, when we have been expelled from our homes and [separated from] our children?] So when fighting was prescribed for them, they turned back except a few of them, and Allah knows well the wrongdoers. - Qarai, Ali Quli
⦿
(Muhammad), remember that group of the Israelites after Moses who demanded a Prophet of their own to appoint a king for them who would lead them in the fight for the cause of God. Their Prophet then said, [What if you are ordered to fight and you disobey?] They said, [Why should we not fight for the cause of God when we and our sons have been expelled from our homes?] However, when they were ordered to fight, all refused except a few among them. God knows well the unjust. - Sarwar, Muhammad
⦿
Have you not considered the chiefs of the children of Israel after Musa, when they said to a prophet of theirs: Raise up for us a king, (that) we may fight in the way of Allah. He said: May it not be that you would not fight if fighting is ordained for you? They said: And what reason have we that we should not fight in the way of Allah, and we have indeed been compelled to abandon our homes and our children. But when fighting was ordained for them, they turned back, except a few of them, and Allah knows the unjust. - Shakir, Habib
⦿
Have you not heard of what the chiefs of the Children of Israel demanded of one of their prophets after Moses? They said, [Appoint for us a king, and we will fight for the cause of God.] He replied, [What if you refuse to fight, when ordered to do so?] [Why should we not fight for the cause of God,] they replied, [when we have been driven forth from our homes and our children?] But when at last they were commanded to fight, they all refused, except a few of them. God knows the wrongdoers. - Wahiduddin Khan

کیا تم نے موسیٰ علیھ السّلامکے بعد بنی اسرائیل کی اس جماعت کونہیں دیکھا جس نے اپنے نبی سے کہا کہ ہمارے واسطے ایک بادشاہ مقرر کیجئے تاکہ ہم راسِ خدا میں جہاد کریں. نبی نے فرمایا کہ اندیشہ یہ ہے کہ تم پر جہادواجب ہوجائے توتم جہاد نہ کرو. ان لوگوں نے کہا کہ ہم کیوںکر جہاد نہ کریں گے جب کہ ہمیں ہمارے گھروں اور بال بّچوںسے الگ نکال باہر کردیا گیا ہے. اس کے بعد جب جہاد واجب کردیا گیا تو تھوڑے سے افراد کے علاوہ سب منحرف ہوگئے اور اللہ ظالمین کو خوب جانتا ہے - Jawadi, Zeeshan
⦿
پھر تم نے اُس معاملے پر بھی غور کیا، جو موسیٰؑ کے بعد سرداران بنی اسرائیل کو پیش آیا تھا؟ اُنہوں نے اپنے نبی سے کہا: ہمارے لیے ایک بادشاہ مقرر کر دو تاکہ ہم اللہ کی راہ میں جنگ کریں نبی نے پوچھا: کہیں ایسا تو نہ ہوگا کہ تم کو لڑائی کا حکم دیا جائے اور پھر تم نہ لڑو وہ کہنے لگے : بھلا یہ کیسے ہو سکتا ہے کہ ہم راہ خدا میں نہ لڑیں، جبکہ ہمیں اپنے گھروں سے نکال دیا گیا ہے اور ہمارے بال بچے ہم سے جدا کر دیے گئے ہیں مگر جب ان کو جنگ کا حکم دیا گیا، تو ایک قلیل تعداد کے سوا وہ سب پیٹھ موڑ گئے، اور اللہ ان میں سے ایک ایک ظالم کو جانتا ہے - Maududi, Abul A'ala
⦿
اے محبوب! کیا تم نے نہ دیکھا بنی اسرائیل کے ایک گروہ کو جو موسیٰ کے بعد ہوا جب اپنے ایک پیغمبر سے بولے ہمارے لیے کھڑا کردو ایک بادشاہ کہ ہم خدا کی راہ میں لڑیں، نبی نے فرمایا کیا تمہارے انداز ایسے ہیں کہ تم پر جہاد فرض کیا جائے تو پھر نہ کرو، بولے ہمیں کیا ہوا کہ ہم اللہ کی راہ میں نہ لڑیں حالانکہ ہم نکالے گئے ہیں اپنے وطن اور اپنی اولاد سے تو پھر جب ان پر جہاد فرض کیا گیا منہ پھیر گئے مگر ان میں کے تھوڑے اور اللہ خوب جانتا ہے ظالموں کو، - Ahmed Raza
⦿
کیا تم نے جناب موسیٰ کے بعد بنی اسرائیل کے سرداروں کو نہیں دیکھا کہ جب انہوں نے نبی(ص) سے کہا کہ ہمارے لئے ایک بادشاہ مقرر کر دیجئے تاکہ ہم (اس کی زیر قیادت) راہِ خدا میں جنگ کریں۔ اس نبی نے فرمایا کہیں ایسا نہ ہو کہ جب جنگ تم پر واجب ہو جائے۔ تو پھر تم جنگ نہ کرو۔ انہوں نے کہا کہ ہم کیونکر جنگ نہیں کریں گے؟ جبکہ ہمیں اپنے گھروں اور بال بچوں سے باہر نکال دیا گیا ہے۔ مگر جب جنگ ان پر واجب قرار دی گئی تو ان کے تھوڑے سے آدمیوں کے سوا باقی سب کے سب منحرف ہوگئے (پیٹھ پھیر گئے) اور خدا ظالموں کو خوب جانتا ہے۔ - Najafi, Muhammad
