English Translation
2It is Allah who sent to a people who were ummi/without a culture of revelation, and who were plainly astray, a messenger from among themselves, to convey His verses to them, to purify them of shirk (associating partners with Allah), and to teach them this Book/the Quran, and how it is to be understood and carried into life.
3And He sent him also to others who have not yet joined them but will join them in the future. For He is absolutely supreme and exalted, and His every judgment is right.
4That is Allah's grace, which He will give to those who deserve it. For Allah possesses great grace and generosity.

English Translation
5Those who were charged with understanding and applying the Torah, and then failed to fulfill that responsibility, are like a donkey laden with volumes of books. Truly lamentable is the state of a people who do not understand and apply Allah's verses. Allah does not let a people who do not understand and apply His verses attain their aims.
6Say: —O Jews, since you claim that you alone, and not the rest of mankind, are Allah's chosen servants and close friends (awliya), and since you are sincere in this claim, then come, wish for death right now, so that you may meet Allah, and let us see!
7But they will never wish for death, because of the sins they have committed. Allah knows these sinful wrongdoers full well.
8Say: —The death you are fleeing from will surely catch up with you. Then you will be brought before Allah, who knows everything hidden and open, to give account, and He will inform you, one by one, of everything you did.

9O you who believe, when you are called to the prayer on Friday, leave off your buying and selling and answer Allah's call, to His remembrance/the prayer! That is better for you than buying and selling, if only you knew.
10And when you have performed the prayer, disperse at once through the land and seek your share of Allah's bounty, and keep Allah constantly in mind, so that you may attain what you hope for.
11Some people, while the Friday sermon (khutbah) was being delivered, saw a trading caravan or some entertainment outside and at once rushed toward it, leaving you standing there alone. Say: —The reward with Allah is far better than any buying and selling or entertainment. For Allah is the best of providers.
