Three Translations of The Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side Part 282

046.019 Y: And to all are (a.s.signed) degrees according to the deeds which they (have done), and in order that (Allah) may recompense their deeds, and no injustice be done to them.

P: And for all there will be ranks from what they do, that He may pay them for their deeds; and they will not be wronged.

S: And for all are degrees according to what they did, and that He may pay them back fully their deeds and they shall not be wronged.

046.020 Y: And on the Day that the Unbelievers will be placed before the Fire, (It will be said to them): "Ye received your good things in the life of the world, and ye took your pleasure out of them: but today shall ye be recompensed with a Penalty of humiliation: for that ye were arrogant on earth without just cause, and that ye (ever) transgressed."

P: And on the day when those who disbelieve are exposed to the Fire (it will be said): Ye squandered your good things in the life of the world and sought comfort therein. Now this day ye are rewarded with the doom of ignominy because ye were disdainful in the land without a right, and because ye used to transgress.

S: And on the day when those who disbelieve shall be brought before the fire: You did away with your good things in your life of the world and you enjoyed them for a while, so today you shall be rewarded with the punishment of abas.e.m.e.nt because you were unjustly proud in the land and because you transgressed.

046.021 Y: Mention (Hud) one of 'Ad's (own) brethren: Behold, he warned his people about the winding Sand-tracts: but there have been warners before him and after him: "Wors.h.i.+p ye none other than Allah: Truly I fear for you the Penalty of a Mighty Day."

P: And make mention (O Muhammad) of the brother of A'ad when he warned his folk among the wind-curved sandhills - and verily warners came and went before and after him - saying: Serve none but Allah. Lo! I fear for you the doom of a tremendous Day.

S: And mention the brother of Ad; when he warned his people in the sandy plains,-- and indeed warners came before him and after him-- saying Serve none but Allah; surely I fear for you the punishment of a grievous day.

046.022 Y: They said: "Hast thou come in order to turn us aside from our G.o.ds?

Then bring upon us the (calamity) with which thou dost threaten us, if thou art telling the truth?"

P: They said: Hast come to turn us away from our G.o.ds? Then bring upon us that wherewith thou threatenest us, if thou art of the truthful.

S: They said: Have you come to us to turn us away from our G.o.ds; then bring us what you threaten us with, if you are of the truthful ones.

046.023 Y: He said: "The Knowledge (of when it will come) is only with Allah: I proclaim to you the mission on which I have been sent: But I see that ye are a people in ignorance!"..

P: He said: The knowledge is with Allah only. I convey unto you that wherewith I have been sent, but I see you are a folk that know not.

S: He said: The knowledge is only with Allah, and I deliver to you the message with which I am sent, but I see you are a people who are ignorant.

046.024 Y: Then, when they saw the (Penalty in the shape of) a cloud traversing the sky, coming to meet their valleys, they said, "This cloud will give us rain!" "Nay, it is the (Calamity) ye were asking to be hastened!- A wind wherein is a Grievous Penalty!"

P: Then, when they beheld it as a dense cloud coming toward their valleys, they said: Here is a cloud bringing us rain. Nay, but it is that which ye did seek to hasten, a wind wherein is painful torment,

S: So when they saw it as a cloud appearing in the sky advancing towards their valleys, they said: This is a cloud which will give us rain. Nay!

it is what you sought to hasten on, a blast of wind in which is a painful punishment,

046.025 Y: "Everything will it destroy by the command of its Lord!" Then by the morning they - nothing was to be seen but (the ruins of) their houses!

thus do We recompense those given to sin!

P: Destroying all things by commandment of its Lord. And morning found them so that naught could be seen save their dwellings. Thus do We reward the guilty folk.

S: Destroying everything by the command of its Lord, so they became such that naught could be seen except their dwellings. Thus do We reward the guilty people.

046.026 Y: And We had firmly established them in a (prosperity and) power which We have not given to you (ye Qurais.h.!.+) and We had endowed them with (faculties of) hearing, seeing, heart and intellect: but of no profit to them were their (faculties of) hearing, sight, and heart and intellect, when they went on rejecting the Signs of Allah; and they were (completely) encircled by that which they used to mock at!

P: And verily We had empowered them with that wherewith We have not empowered you, and had a.s.signed them ears and eyes and hearts; but their ears and eyes and hearts availed them naught since they denied the revelations of Allah; and what they used to mock befell them.

S: And certainly We had established them in what We have not established you in, and We had given-- them ears and eyes and hearts, but neither their ears, nor their eyes, nor their hearts availed them aught, since they denied the communications of Allah, and that which they mocked encompa.s.sed them.

046.027 Y: We destroyed aforetime populations round about you; and We have shown the Signs in various ways, that they may turn (to Us).

P: And verily We have destroyed towns.h.i.+ps round about you, and displayed (for them) Our revelation, that haply they might return.

S: And certainly We destroyed the towns which are around you, and We repeat the communications that they might turn.

046.028 Y: Why then was no help forthcoming to them from those whom they wors.h.i.+pped as G.o.ds, besides Allah, as a means of access (to Allah)?

Nay, they left them in the lurch: but that was their falsehood and their invention.

P: Then why did those whom they had chosen for G.o.ds as a way of approach (unto Allah) not help them? Nay, but they did fail them utterly. And (all) that was their lie, and what they used to invent.

S: Why did not then those help them whom they took for G.o.ds besides Allah to draw (them) nigh (to Him)? Nay! they were lost to them; and this was their lie and what they forged.

046.029 Y: Behold, We turned towards thee a company of jinns (quietly) listening to the Qur'an: when they stood in the presence thereof, they said, "Listen in silence!" When the (reading) was finished, they returned to their people, to warn (them of their sins).

P: And when We inclined toward thee (Muhammad) certain of the jinn, who wished to hear the Qur'an and, when they were in its presence, said: Give ear! and, when it was finished, turned back to their people, warning.

S: And when We turned towards you a party of the jinn who listened to the Quran; so when they came to it, they said: Be silent; then when it was finished, they turned back to their people warning (them).

046.030 Y: They said, "O our people! We have heard a Book revealed after Moses, confirming what came before it: it guides (men) to the Truth and to a Straight Path."

P: They said: O our people! Lo! we have heard a Scripture which hath been revealed after Moses, confirming that which was before it, guiding unto the truth and a right road.

S: They said: O our people! we have listened to a Book revealed after Musa verifying that which is before it, guiding to the truth and to a right path:

046.031 Y: "O our people, hearken to the one who invites (you) to Allah, and believe in him: He will forgive you your faults, and deliver you from a Penalty Grievous."

P: O our people! respond to Allah's summoner and believe in Him. He will forgive you some of your sins and guard you from a painful doom.

S: O our people! accept the Divine caller and believe in Him, He will forgive you of your faults and protect you from a painful punishment.

046.032 Y: "If any does not hearken to the one who invites (us) to Allah, he cannot frustrate (Allah's Plan) on earth, and no protectors can he have besides Allah: such men (wander) in manifest error."

P: And whoso respondeth not to Allah's summoner he can nowise escape in the earth, and he hath no protecting friends instead of Him. Such are in error manifest.

S: And whoever does not accept the-Divine caller, he shall not escape in the earth and he shall not have guardians besides Him, these are in manifest error.

046.033 Y: See they not that Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth, and never wearied with their creation, is able to give life to the dead?

Yea, verily He has power over all things.

P: Have they not seen that Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth and was not wearied by their creation, is Able to give life to the dead? Aye, He verily is Able to do all things.

S: Have they not considered that Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth and was not tired by their creation, is able to give life to the dead? Aye! He has surely power over all things.

046.034 Y: And on the Day that the Unbelievers will be placed before the Fire, (they will be asked,) "Is this not the Truth?" they will say, "Yea, by our Lord!" (One will say:) "Then taste ye the Penalty, for that ye were wont to deny (Truth)!"

P: And on the day when those who disbelieve are exposed to the Fire (they will be asked): Is not this real? They will say: Yea, by our Lord. He will say: Then taste the doom for that ye disbelieved.
