Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
004.156
Y: That they rejected Faith; that they uttered against Mary a grave
false charge;
P: And because of their disbelief and of their speaking against Mary a
tremendous calumny;
S: And for their unbelief and for their having uttered against Marium a
grievous calumny.
004.157
Y: That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary,
the Messenger of Allah";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him,
but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are
full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to
follow, for of a surety they killed him not:-
P: And because of their saying: We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary,
Allah's messenger - they slew him not nor crucified him, but it
appeared so unto them; and lo! those who disagree concerning it are in
doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a
conjecture; they slew him not for certain.
S: And their saying: Surely we have killed the Messiah, Isa son of
Marium, the messenger of Allah; and they did not kill him nor did they
crucify him, but it appeared to them so (like Isa) and most surely
those who differ therein are only in a doubt about it; they have no
knowledge respecting it, but only follow a conjecture, and they killed
him not for sure.
004.158
Y: Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power,
Wise;-
P: But Allah took him up unto Himself. Allah was ever Mighty, Wise.
S: Nay! Allah took him up to Himself; and Allah is Mighty, Wise.
004.159
Y: And there is none of the People of the Book but must believe in him
before his death; and on the Day of Judgment he will be a witness
against them;-
P: There is not one of the People of the Scripture but will believe in
him before his death, and on the Day of Resurrection he will be a
witness against them -
S: And there is not one of the followers of the Book but most certainly
believes in this before his death, and on the day of resurrection he
(Isa) shall be a witness against them.
004.160
Y: For the iniquity of the Jews We made unlawful for them certain
(foods) good and wholesome which had been lawful for them;- in that
they hindered many from Allah's Way;-
P: Because of the wrongdoing of the Jews We forbade them good things
which were (before) made lawful unto them, and because of their much
hindering from Allah's way,
S: Wherefore for the iniquity of those who are Jews did We disallow to
them the good things which had been made lawful for them and for their
hindering many (people) from Allah's way.
004.161
Y: That they took usury, though they were forbidden; and that they
devoured men's substance wrongfully;- we have prepared for those among
them who reject faith a grievous punishment.
P: And of their taking usury when they were forbidden it, and of their
devouring people's wealth by false pretences, We have prepared for
those of them who disbelieve a painful doom.
