Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
S: Say: O followers of the Book! do you find fault with us (for aught)
except that we believe in Allah and in what has been revealed to us and
what was revealed before, and that most of you are transgressors?
005.060
Y: Say: "Shall I point out to you something much worse than this, (as
judged) by the treatment it received from Allah? those who incurred the
curse of Allah and His wrath, those of whom some He transformed into
apes and swine, those who worshipped evil;- these are (many times)
worse in rank, and far more astray from the even path!"
P: Shall I tell thee of a worse (case) than theirs for retribution with
Allah? (Worse is the case of him) whom Allah hath cursed, him on whom
His wrath hath fallen and of whose sort Allah hath turned some to apes
and swine, and who serveth idols. Such are in worse plight and further
astray from the plain road.
S: Say: Shall I inform you of (him who is) worse than this in
retribution from Allah? (Worse is he) whom Allah has cursed and brought
His wrath upon, and of whom He made apes and swine, and he who served
the Shaitan; these are worse in place and more erring from the straight
path.
005.061
Y: When they come to thee, they say: "We believe": but in fact they
enter with a mind against Faith, and they go out with the same but
Allah knoweth fully all that they hide.
P: When they come unto you (Muslims), they say: We believe; but they
came in unbelief and they went out in the same; and Allah knoweth best
what they were hiding.
S: And when they come to you, they say: We believe; and indeed they come
in with unbelief and indeed they go forth with it; and Allah knows best
what they concealed.
005.062
Y: Many of them dost thou see, racing each other in sin and rancour, and
their eating of things forbidden. Evil indeed are the things that they
do.
P: And thou seest many of them vying one with another in sin and
transgression and their devouring of illicit gain. Verily evil is what
they do.
S: And you will see many of them striving with one another to hasten in
sin and exceeding the limits, and their eating of what is unlawfully
acquired; certainly evil is that which they do.
005.063
Y: Why do not the rabbis and the doctors of Law forbid them from their
(habit of) uttering sinful words and eating things forbidden? Evil
indeed are their works.
P: Why do not the rabbis and the priests forbid their evil-speaking and
their devouring of illicit gain? Verily evil is their handiwork.
S: Why do not the learned men and the doctors of law prohibit them from
their speaking of what is sinful and their eating of what is unlawfully
acquired? Certainly evil is that which they work.
