Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
004.129
Y: Ye are never able to be fair and just as between women, even if it is
your ardent desire: But turn not away (from a woman) altogether, so as
to leave her (as it were) hanging (in the air). If ye come to a
friendly understanding, and practise self-restraint, Allah is
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
P: Ye will not be able to deal equally between (your) wives, however
much ye wish (to do so). But turn not altogether away (from one),
leaving her as in suspense. If ye do good and keep from evil, lo! Allah
is ever Forgiving, Merciful.
S: And you have it not in your power to do justice between wives, even
though you may wish (it), but be not disinclined (from one) with total
disinclination, so that you leave her as it were in suspense; and if
you effect a reconciliation and guard (against evil), then surely Allah
is Forgiving, Merciful.
004.130
Y: But if they disagree (and must part), Allah will provide abundance
for all from His all-reaching bounty: for Allah is He that careth for
all and is Wise.
P: But if they separate, Allah will compensate each out of His
abundance. Allah is ever All-Embracing, All-Knowing.
S: And if they separate, Allah will render them both free from want out
of His ampleness, and Allah is Ample-giving, Wise.
004.131
Y: To Allah belong all things in the heavens and on earth. Verily we
have directed the People of the Book before you, and you (O Muslims) to
fear Allah. But if ye deny Him, lo! unto Allah belong all things in the
heavens and on earth, and Allah is free of all wants, worthy of all
praise.
P: Unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is
in the earth. And We charged those who received the Scripture before
you, and (We charge) you, that ye keep your duty toward Allah. And if
ye disbelieve, lo! unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens
and whatsoever is in the earth, and Allah is ever Absolute, Owner of
Praise.
S: And whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is
Allah's and certainly We enjoined those who were given the Book before
you and (We enjoin) you too that you should be careful of (your duty
to) Allah; and if you disbelieve, then surely whatever is in the
heavens and whatever is in the earth is Allah's and Allah is
Self-sufficient, Praise-worthy.
004.132
Y: Yea, unto Allah belong all things in the heavens and on earth, and
enough is Allah to carry through all affairs.
P: Unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is
in the earth. And Allah is sufficient as Defender.
S: And whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is
Allah's, and Allah is sufficient as a Protector.
004.133
Y: If it were His will, He could destroy you, O mankind, and create
another race; for He hath power this to do.
P: If He will, He can remove you, O people, and produce others (in your
stead). Allah is Able to do that.
S: If He please, He can make you pass away, O people! and bring others;
and Allah has the power to do this.
