[David] said, "He has certainly wronged you in demanding your ewe [in addition] to his ewes. And indeed, many associates oppress one another, except for those who believe and do righteous deeds - and few are they." And David became certain that We had tried him, and he asked forgiveness of his Lord and fell down bowing [in prostration] and turned in repentance [to Allāh].

(அதற்கு தாவூது;) "உமமுடைய ஆட்டை அவர் தம்முடைய ஆடுகளுடன் சேர்த்து விடும்படிக் கேட்டது கொண்டு நிச்யசமாக அவர் உம்மீது அநியாயம் செய்து விட்டார்; நிச்சயமாகக் கூட்டாளிகளில் பெரும்பாலோர் - அவர்களில் சிலர் சிலரை மோசம் செய்து விடுகின்றனர்; ஈமான் கொண்டு (ஸாலிஹான) நல்லமல்கள் செய்பவர்களைத் தவிர இத்தகையவர் சிலரே" என்று கூறினார்; இதற்குள்; "நிச்சயமாக நாமே அவரைச் சோதித்து விட்டோம்" என்று தாவூது எண்ணித் தம்முடைய இறைவனிடம் மன்னிப்பு கோரிக்குனிந்து விழுந்தவராக இறைவனை நோக்கினார்.

آپ نے فرمایا! اس کا اپنی دنبیوں کے ساتھ تیری ایک دنبی ملا لینے کا سوال بیشک تیرے اوپر ایک ﻇلم ہے اور اکثر حصہ دار اور شریک (ایسے ہی ہوتے ہیں کہ) ایک دوسرے پر ﻇلم کرتے ہیں، سوائے ان کے جو ایمان ﻻئے اور جنہوں نے نیک عمل کیے اور ایسے لوگ بہت ہی کم ہیں اور (حضرت) داؤد (علیہ السلام) سمجھ گئے کہ ہم نے انہیں آزمایا ہے، پھر تو اپنے رب سے استغفار کرنے لگے اور عاجزی کرتے ہوئے گر پڑے اور (پوری طرح) رجوع کیا.

かれ(ダーウード)は,「かれがあなたの羊を,取り込もうとしたのは,確かに不当です。本当に共同で仕事をする者の多くは,互いに侵しあう。信仰して善行に勤しむ者は別だが,それは稀です。」と言った。(その時)ダーウードは,われがかれを試みたことを喩り,主の御赦し を請い,礼拝にひれ伏し,悔悟して主の御許に帰った。〔サジダ〕

达五德说:他确已欺负你了,因为他要求你把你的母绵羊归并他的母绵羊。有许多伙计,的确相欺,惟信道而行善者则不然,但他们是很少的。达五德以为我考验他,他就向他的主求饶,且拜倒下去,并归依他。(此处叩头!)※

Tafsir of 38:24

The Story of the Two Litigants In discussing this passage, the scholars of Tafsir mention a story which is mostly based upon Isra'iliyat narrations.

That was the noblest part of his house, where he commanded that no one should enter upon him that day.
