Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
004.027
Y: Allah doth wish to Turn to you, but the wish of those who follow
their lusts is that ye should turn away (from Him),- far, far away.
P: And Allah would turn to you in mercy; but those who follow vain
desires would have you go tremendously astray.
S: And Allah desires that He should turn to you (mercifully), and those
who follow (their) lusts desire that you should deviate (with) a great
deviation.
004.028
Y: Allah doth wish to lighten your (difficulties): For man was created
Weak (in flesh).
P: Allah would make the burden light for you, for man was created weak.
S: Allah desires that He should make light your burdens, and man is
created weak.
004.029
Y: O ye who believe! Eat not up your property among yourselves in
vanities: But let there be amongst you Traffic and trade by mutual
good-will: Nor kill (or destroy) yourselves: for verily Allah hath been
to you Most Merciful!
P: O ye who believe! Squander not your wealth among yourselves in
vanity, except it be a trade by mutual consent, and kill not one
another. Lo! Allah is ever Merciful unto you.
S: O you who believe! do not devour your property among yourselves
falsely, except that it be trading by your mutual consent; and do not
kill your people; surely Allah is Merciful to you.
004.030
Y: If any do that in rancour and injustice,- soon shall We cast them
into the Fire: And easy it is for Allah.
P: Whoso doeth that through aggression and injustice, we shall cast him
into Fire, and that is ever easy for Allah.
S: And whoever does this aggressively and unjustly, We will soon cast
him into fire; and this is easy to Allah.
004.031
Y: If ye (but) eschew the most heinous of the things which ye are
forbidden to do, We shall expel out of you all the evil in you, and
admit you to a gate of great honour.
P: If ye avoid the great (things) which ye are forbidden, We will remit
from you your evil deeds and make you enter at a noble gate.
S: If you shun the great sins which you are forbidden, We will do away
with your small sins and cause you to enter an honorable place of
entering.
004.032
Y: And in no wise covet those things in which Allah Hath bestowed His
gifts More freely on some of you than on others: To men is allotted
what they earn, and to women what they earn: But ask Allah of His
bounty. For Allah hath full knowledge of all things.
P: And covet not the thing in which Allah hath made some of you excel
others. Unto men a fortune from that which they have earned, and unto
women a fortune from that which they have earned. (Envy not one
another) but ask Allah of His bounty. Lo! Allah is ever Knower of all
things.
S: And do not covet that by which Allah has made some of you excel
others; men shall have the benefit of what they earn and women shall
have the benefit of what they earn; and ask Allah of His grace; surely
Allah knows all things.
