Quran 2:249

When Saul set out with the troops, he said, “Allah will be testing you with a river. Whoever drinks from it does not belong with me. But whoever does not drink from it, does belong with me, except for whoever scoops up a little with his hand.” But they drank from it, except for a few of them. Then, when he crossed it, he and those who believed with him, they said, “We have no strength to face Goliath and his troops today.” But those who knew that they would meet Allah said, “How many a small group has defeated a large group by Allah’s will. Allah is with the steadfast.”

And when Saul set out with the army, he said: Lo! Allah will try you by (the ordeal of) a river. Whosoever therefore drinketh thereof he is not of me, and whosoever tasteth it not he is of me, save him who taketh (thereof) in the hollow of his hand. But they drank thereof, all save a few of them. And after he had crossed (the river), he and those who believed with him, they said: We have no power this day against Goliath and his hosts. But those who knew that they would meet Allah exclaimed: How many a little company hath overcome a mighty host by Allah's leave! Allah is with the steadfast.

Vaktaki Talut ordu ile hareket etti, muhakkak, dedi: Allah sizi bir nehrile imtihan edecek, kim ondan içerse benden değil, kim onu tatmazsa işte o benden, ancak eliyle bir avuc alan müstesna, derken varır varmaz ondan içtiler, ancak içlerinden pek azı müstesna kaldılar, derken Talut ve maiyetinde iman edenler nehri geçtiler, o vakıt de «bizim bu gün Calut ile ordusuna takatımız yok» dediler, Allaha mülâki olacaklarına kani' olanlar ise şu cevabı verdiler «nice az bir cemiyet, çok bir cemiyete Allahın izniyle galebe çalmışlar, Allah sabırlılarla beraberdir»

Lorsque Talout partit avec ses soldats, il leur dit : Dieu va vous éprouver par une rivière. Celui qui s’y désaltérera ne sera point des miens ; celui qui s’en abstiendra (sauf à en puiser dans le creux de la main) comptera parmi les miens. Excepté un petit nombre, tous les autres y burent à leur soif. Lorsque le roi et les croyants qui le suivaient eurent traversé la rivière, les autres s’écrièrent : Nous n’avons point de force aujourd’hui contre Djalout (Goliath) et ses soldats ; mais ceux qui crurent qu’au jour dernier ils verraient la face de Dieu dirent alors : Oh ! Combien de fois, par la permission de Dieu, une troupe nombreuse fut vaincue par une petite troupe ! Dieu est avec les persévérants.

Toen nu Talut met zijne soldaten uittrok, zeide hij: God wil u aan de rivier beproeven. Wie daaruit drinken zal, is niet met mij, doch wie daaruit niet drinkt, zal met mij zijn. Hij die echter met de vlakke hand een weinig daaruit schept, is daarvan uitgezonderd. Maar op weinigen na dronken allen daaruit. Toen zij nu de rivier waren overgetrokken, hij en die met hem geloofden, riepen zij: Wij hebben heden geene kracht tegen Jalut en zijne soldaten. Zij echter die geloofden dat zij God eens zouden zien, zeiden: Hoe dikwijls heeft niet reeds een klein leger, door Gods hulp, een talrijker leger overwonnen. God is met de geduldig volhardenden.

Quando Talut parti coi suoi soldati, disse loro: Dio vi metterà alla prova sulla sponda di questo fiume. Colui che vi si disseterà non sarà de' miei; colui che se ne asterrà (a meno di pigliare un poco d'acqua nella mano) sarà de miei. Tutti, fuori un piccolo numero, bevettero a loro piacere. Quando il re, ed i credenti che lo seguivano ebbero traversato il fiume, gli altri gridarono: Noi non abbiamo forza oggi contro Djalut (Golia) ed i suoi soldati; ma coloro che credevano nel giorno ultimo di vedere la faccia di Dio, dissero allora: Oh! quante volte, per permesso di Dio, un'armata numerosa fu vinta da una piccola truppa! Iddio è coi perseveranti.
