ترجمهٔ معانی آیه 127 سوره سوره آل عمران - ترجمهٔ انگلیسی ـ دکتر ولید بلیهش العمری - دایرة المعارف قرآن کریم

آیه: 127

لِيَقۡطَعَ طَرَفٗا مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ أَوۡ يَكۡبِتَهُمۡ فَيَنقَلِبُواْ خَآئِبِينَ

(127) ˹This was so˺ To fell a flank^[685] of those who Deny and to smite^[686] them, so that they would draw back crestfallen.

[685] An image that depicts a number of them being struck down.
[686] Yakbita is a very strongly emotive word; to smite, to depress. Indeed, the whole aya employs words that are highly charged, standing out from other likely alternatives in Arabic. Any attempt at an equivalent rendition in English will inevitably fall short of what is ideally portrayed.
