And their prophet said to them, "Indeed, Allah has sent to you Saul as a king." They said, "How can he have kingship over us while we are more worthy of kingship than him and he has not been given any measure of wealth?" He said, "Indeed, Allah has chosen him over you and has increased him abundantly in knowledge and stature. And Allah gives His sovereignty to whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing [in favor] and Knowing."

Their prophet said to them, ‘Allah has appointed Saul as king for you.’ They said, ‘How can he have kingship over us, when we have a greater right to kingship than him, as he has not been given ample wealth?’ He said, ‘Indeed Allah has chosen him over you, and enhanced him vastly in knowledge and physique, and Allah gives His kingdom to whomever He wishes, and Allah is all-bounteous, all-knowing.’

Their Prophet said unto them: Lo! Allah hath raised up Saul to be a king for you. They said: How can he have kingdom over us when we are more deserving of the kingdom than he is, since he hath not been given wealth enough? He said: Lo! Allah hath chosen him above you, and hath increased him abundantly in wisdom and stature. Allah bestoweth His Sovereignty on whom He will. Allah is All-Embracing, All-Knowing.

Their Prophet said to them: "Allah hath appointed Talut as king over you." They said: "How can he exercise authority over us when we are better fitted than he to exercise authority, and he is not even gifted, with wealth in abundance?" He said: "Allah hath Chosen him above you, and hath gifted him abundantly with knowledge and bodily prowess: Allah Granteth His authority to whom He pleaseth. Allah careth for all, and He knoweth all things."

Then their Prophet said to them, 'Verily God has raised up Saul for you as king.' They said, 'How should he be king over us who have better right than he to kingship, seeing he has not been given amplitude of wealth?' He said, 'God has chosen him over you, and has increased him broadly in knowledge and body. God gives the kingship to whom He will; and God is All-embracing, All-knowing.'

و پیامبرشان به آنان گفت: بی تردید خدا طالوت را برای شما به زمامداری برانگیخت. گفتند: [شگفتا!] چگونه او را بر ما حکومت باشد و حال آنکه ما به فرمانروایی از او سزاوارتریم، و به او وسعت و فراخی مالی داده نشده [پس ما کجا و زمامداری انسانی تهیدست کجا!؟] [پیامبرشان] گفت: خدا او را بر شما برگزیده و وی را در دانش و نیروی جسمی فزونی داده؛ و خدا زمامداریش را به هر کس که بخواهد عطا می کند؛ و خدا بسیار عطا کننده و داناست.

و پیامبرشان به آنان گفت: «در حقیقت، خداوند، طالوت را بر شما به پادشاهی گماشته است.» گفتند: «چگونه او را بر ما پادشاهی باشد با آنکه ما به پادشاهی از وی سزاوارتریم و به او از حیث مال، گشایشی داده نشده است؟» پیامبرشان گفت: «در حقیقت، خدا او را بر شما برتری داده، و او را در دانش و [نیروی‌] بدنی بر شما برتری بخشیده است، و خداوند پادشاهی خود را به هر کس که بخواهد می‌دهد، و خدا گشایشگر داناست.»

Peygamberleri onlara "Allah size şüphesiz, Talut'u hükümdar olarak gönderdi" dedi. "Biz hükümdarlığa ondan layık iken ve ona malca da bir bolluk verilmemişken bize hükümdar olmağa o nasıl layık olabilir?" dediler, "Doğrusu Allah size onu seçti, bilgice ve vücutça gücünü artırdı" dedi. Allah mülkü dilediğine verir. Allah her şeyi kaplar ve bilir.

Nabi mereka mengatakan kepada mereka: "Sesungguhnya Allah telah mengangkat Thalut menjadi rajamu". Mereka menjawab: "Bagaimana Thalut memerintah kami, padahal kami lebih berhak mengendalikan pemerintahan daripadanya, sedang diapun tidak diberi kekayaan yang cukup banyak?" Nabi (mereka) berkata: "Sesungguhnya Allah telah memilih rajamu dan menganugerahinya ilmu yang luas dan tubuh yang perkasa". Allah memberikan pemerintahan kepada siapa yang dikehendaki-Nya. Dan Allah Maha Luas pemberian-Nya lagi Maha Mengetahui.

ان کے پیغمبر علیھ السّلامنے کہا کہ اللہ نے تمہارے لئے طالوت کو حاکم مقرر کیا ہے. ان لوگوں نے کہا کہ یہ کس طرح حکومت کریں گے ان کے پاس تو مال کی فراوانی نہیں ہے ان سے زیادہ تو ہم ہی حقدار حکومت ہیں. نبی نے جواب دیا کہ انہیں اللہ نے تمہارے لئے منتخب کیا ہے اور علم و جسم میں وسعت عطا فرمائی ہے اور اللہ جسے چاہتا ہے اپنا ملک دے دیتا ہے کہ وہ صاحبِ وسعت بھی ہے اور صاحبِ علم بھی

আর তাদেরকে তাদের নবী বললেন, নিশ্চয়ই আল্লাহ তালূতকে তোমাদের জন্য বাদশাহ সাব্যস্ত করেছেন। তারা বলতে লাগল তা কেমন করে হয় যে, তার শাসন চলবে আমাদের উপর। অথচ রাষ্ট্রক্ষমতা পাওয়ার ক্ষেত্রে তার চেয়ে আমাদেরই অধিকার বেশী। আর সে সম্পদের দিক দিয়েও সচ্ছল নয়। নবী বললেন, নিশ্চয় আল্লাহ তোমাদের উপর তাকে পছন্দ করেছেন এবং স্বাস্থ্য ও জ্ঞানের দিক দিয়ে প্রাচুর্য দান করেছেন। বস্তুতঃ আল্লাহ তাকেই রাজ্য দান করেন, যাকে ইচ্ছা। আর আল্লাহ হলেন অনুগ্রহ দানকারী এবং সব বিষয়ে অবগত।
