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

Indeed whoever ascribes partners to Allah,
Allah shall forbid him [entry into] paradise,
and his refuge shall be the Fire,
and the wrongdoers will not have any helpers.’
73 They are certainly faithless who say,
‘Allah is the third [person] of a trinity,’
while there is no god except the One God.
If they do not relinquish what they say,
there shall befall the faithless among them
a painful punishment.
74 Will they not repent to Allah
and plead to Him for forgiveness?
Yet Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful.
75 The Messiah, son of Mary, is but an apostle.
Certainly [other] apostles have passed before him,
and his mother was a truthful one.
Both of them would eat food.
Look how We clarify the signs for them,
and yet, look, how they go astray!
76 Say, ‘Do you worship, besides Allah,
what has no power to bring you any benefit or harm,
while Allah — He is the All-hearing, the All-knowing?!’
77 Say, ‘O People of the Book!
Do not unduly exceed the bounds in your religion
and do not follow
the fancies of a people who went astray in the past,
and led many astray,
and [themselves] strayed from the right path.’
78 The faithless among the Children of Israel were cursed
on the tongue of David and Jesus son of Mary.
