Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
S: Woe, then, to those who write the book with their hands and then say:
This is from Allah, so that they may take for it a small price;
therefore woe to them for what their hands have written and woe to them
for what they earn.
002.080
Y: And they say: "The Fire shall not touch us but for a few numbered
days:" Say: "Have ye taken a promise from Allah, for He never breaks
His promise? or is it that ye say of Allah what ye do not know?"
P: And they say: The Fire (of punishment) will not touch us save for a
certain number of days. Say: Have ye received a covenant from Allah -
truly Allah will not break His covenant - or tell ye concerning Allah
that which ye know not?
S: And they say: Fire shall not touch us but for a few days. Say: Have
you received a promise from Allah, then Allah will not fail to perform
His promise, or do you speak against Allah what you do not know?
002.081
Y: Nay, those who seek gain in evil, and are girt round by their sins,-
they are companions of the Fire: Therein shall they abide (For ever).
P: Nay, but whosoever hath done evil and his sin surroundeth him; such
are rightful owners of the Fire; they will abide therein.
S: Yea, whoever earns evil and his sins beset him on every side, these
are the inmates of the fire; in it they shall abide.
002.082
Y: But those who have faith and work righteousness, they are companions
of the Garden: Therein shall they abide (For ever).
P: And those who believe and do good works: such are rightful owners of
the Garden. They will abide therein.
S: And (as for) those who believe and do good deeds, these are the
dwellers of the garden; in it they shall abide.
002.083
Y: And remember We took a covenant from the Children of Israel (to this
effect): Worship none but Allah; treat with kindness your parents and
kindred, and orphans and those in need; speak fair to the people; be
steadfast in prayer; and practise regular charity. Then did ye turn
back, except a few among you, and ye backslide (even now).
P: And (remember) when We made a covenant with the Children of Israel,
(saying): Worship none save Allah (only), and be good to parents and to
kindred and to orphans and the needy, and speak kindly to mankind; and
establish worship and pay the poor-due. Then, after that, ye slid back,
save a few of you, being averse.
S: And when We made a covenant with the children of Israel: You shall
not serve any but Allah and (you shall do) good to (your) parents, and
to the near of kin and to the orphans and the needy, and you shall
speak to men good words and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate. Then
you turned back except a few of you and (now too) you turn aside.
002.084
Y: And remember We took your covenant (to this effect): Shed no blood
amongst you, nor turn out your own people from your homes: and this ye
solemnly ratified, and to this ye can bear witness.
