Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
S: And as for him whose measure (of good deeds) is light those are they
who have made their souls suffer loss because they disbelieved in Our
communications.
007.010
Y: It is We Who have placed you with authority on earth, and provided
you therein with means for the fulfilment of your life: small are the
thanks that ye give!
P: And We have given you (mankind) power in the earth, and appointed for
you therein livelihoods. Little give ye thanks!
S: And certainly We have established you in the earth and made in it
means of livelihood for you; little it is that you give thanks.
007.011
Y: It is We Who created you and gave you shape; then We bade the angels
prostrate to Adam, and they prostrate; not so Iblis; He refused to be
of those who prostrate.
P: And We created you, then fashioned you, then told the angels: Fall ye
prostrate before Adam! And they fell prostrate, all save Iblis, who was
not of those who make prostration.
S: And certainly We created you, then We fashioned you, then We said to
the angels: Prostrate to Adam. So they did prostrate except Iblis; he
was not of those who prostrated.
007.012
Y: (Allah) said: "What prevented thee from prostrating when I commanded
thee?" He said: "I am better than he: Thou didst create me from fire,
and him from clay."
P: He said: What hindered thee that thou didst not fall prostrate when I
bade thee? (Iblis) said: I am better than him. Thou createdst me of
fire while him Thou didst create of mud.
S: He said: What hindered you so that you did not prostrate when I
commanded you? He said: I am better than he: Thou hast created me of
fire, while him Thou didst create of dust.
007.013
Y: (Allah) said: "Get thee down from this: it is not for thee to be
arrogant here: get out, for thou art of the meanest (of creatures)."
P: He said: Then go down hence! It is not for thee to show pride here,
so go forth! Lo! thou art of those degraded.
S: He said: Then get forth from this (state), for it does not befit you
to behave proudly therein. Go forth, therefore, surely you are of the
abject ones.
007.014
Y: He said: "Give me respite till the day they are raised up."
P: He said: Reprieve me till the day when they are raised (from the
dead).
S: He said: Respite me until the day when they are raised up.
007.015
Y: (Allah) said: "Be thou among those who have respite."
P: He said: Lo! thou art of those reprieved.
S: He said: Surely you are of the respited ones.
007.016
Y: He said: "Because thou hast thrown me out of the way, lo! I will lie
in wait for them on thy straight way:"
P: He said: Now, because Thou hast sent me astray, verily I shall lurk
in ambush for them on Thy Right Path.
S: He said: As Thou hast caused me to remain disappointed I will
certainly lie in wait for them in Thy straight path.
007.017
Y: "Then will I assault them from before them and behind them, from
their right and their left: Nor wilt thou find, in most of them,
gratitude (for thy mercies)."
