Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)

in speech
except by someone who has been wronged,
and Allah is all-hearing, all-knowing.
149 Whether you disclose a good [deed that you do]
or hide it, or excuse an evil [deed],
Allah is indeed all-excusing, all-powerful.
150 Those who disbelieve in Allah and His apostles
and seek to separate Allah from His apostles,
and say, ‘We believe in some
and disbelieve in some’
and seek to take a way in between
151 — it is they who are truly faithless,
and We have prepared for the faithless
a humiliating punishment.
152 But those who have faith in Allah
and His apostles
and make no distinction between any of them
— them He will soon give their rewards,
and Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful.
153 The People of the Book ask you
to bring down for them a Book from the sky.
Certainly they asked Moses
for [something] greater than that,
for they said, ‘Show us Allah visibly,’
whereat a thunderbolt seized them for their wrongdoing.
Then they took up the Calf [for worship],
after all the manifest proofs that had come to them.
Yet We excused that,
and We gave Moses a manifest authority.
154 And We raised the Mount above them
