Yusuf Ali
Then, in their wake, We followed them up with (others of) Our messengers: We sent after them Jesus the son of Mary, and bestowed on him the Gospel; and We ordained in the hearts of those who followed him Compassion and Mercy. But the Monasticism which they invented for themselves, We did not prescribe for them: (We commanded) only the seeking for the Good Pleasure of Allah; but that they did not foster as they should have done. Yet We bestowed, on those among them who believed, their (due) reward, but many of them are rebellious transgressors.
Sahih International
Then We sent following their footsteps Our messengers and followed [them] with Jesus, the son of Mary, and gave him the Gospel. And We placed in the hearts of those who followed him compassion and mercy and monasticism, which they innovated; We did not prescribe it for them except [that they did so] seeking the approval of Allah. But they did not observe it with due observance. So We gave the ones who believed among them their reward, but many of them are defiantly disobedient.
Shakir
Then We made Our messengers to follow in their footsteps, and We sent Isa son of Marium afterwards, and We gave him the Injeel, and We put in the hearts of those who followed him kindness and mercy; and (as for) monkery, they innovated it-- We did not prescribe it to them-- only to seek Allah´s pleasure, but they did not observe it with its due observance; so We gave to those of them who believed their reward, and most of them are transgressors.
Pickthall
Then We caused Our messengers to follow in their footsteps; and We caused Jesus, son of Mary, to follow, and gave him the Gospel, and placed compassion and mercy in the hearts of those who followed him. But monasticism they invented - We ordained it not for them - only seeking Allah´s pleasure, and they observed it not with right observance. So We give those of them who believe their reward, but many of them are evil-livers.
محمد جالندھری
پھر ان کے پیچھے انہی کے قدموں پر (اور) پیغمبر بھیجے اور ان کے پیچھے مریمؑ کے بیٹے عیسیٰ کو بھیجا اور ان کو انجیل عنایت کی۔ اور جن لوگوں نے ان کی پیروی کی ان کے دلوں میں شفقت اور مہربانی ڈال دی۔ اور لذات سے کنارہ کشی کی تو انہوں نے خود ایک نئی بات نکال لی ہم نے ان کو اس کا حکم نہیں دیا تھا مگر (انہوں نے اپنے خیال میں) خدا کی خوشنودی حاصل کرنے کے لئے (آپ ہی ایسا کرلیا تھا) پھر جیسا اس کو نباہنا چاہیئے تھا نباہ بھی نہ سکے۔ پس جو لوگ ان میں سے ایمان لائے ان کو ہم نے ان کا اجر دیا اور ان میں بہت سے نافرمان ہیں
