Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
P: And we straitened Pharaoh's folk with famine and dearth of fruits,
that peradventure they might heed.
S: And certainly We overtook Firon's people with droughts and diminution
of fruits that they may be mindful.
007.131
Y: But when good (times) came, they said, "This is due to us;" When
gripped by calamity, they ascribed it to evil omens connected with
Moses and those with him! Behold! in truth the omens of evil are theirs
in Allah's sight, but most of them do not understand!
P: But whenever good befell them, they said: This is ours; and whenever
evil smote them they ascribed it to the evil auspices of Moses and
those with him. Surely their evil auspice was only with Allah. But most
of them knew not.
S: But when good befell them they said: This is due to us; and when evil
afflicted them, they attributed it to the ill-luck of Musa and those
with him; surely their evil fortune is only from Allah but most of them
do not know.
007.132
Y: They said (to Moses): "Whatever be the Signs thou bringest, to work
therewith thy sorcery on us, we shall never believe in thee."
P: And they said: Whatever portent thou bringest wherewith to bewitch
us, we shall not put faith in thee.
S: And they said: Whatever sign you may bring to us to charm us with
it-- we will not believe in you.
007.133
Y: So We sent (plagues) on them: Wholesale death, Locusts, Lice, Frogs,
And Blood: Signs openly self-explained: but they were steeped in
arrogance,- a people given to sin.
P: So We sent against them the flood and the locusts and the vermin and
the frogs and the blood - a succession of clear signs. But they were
arrogant and became a guilty folk.
S: Therefore We sent upon them widespread death, and the locusts and the
lice and the frog and the blood, clear signs; but they behaved
haughtily and they were a guilty people.
007.134
Y: Every time the penalty fell on them, they said: "O Moses! on your
behalf call on thy Lord in virtue of his promise to thee: If thou wilt
remove the penalty from us, we shall truly believe in thee, and we
shall send away the Children of Israel with thee."
P: And when the terror fell on them they cried: O Moses! Pray for us
unto thy Lord, because He hath a covenant with thee. If thou removest
the terror from us we verily will trust thee and will let the Children
of Israel go with thee.
S: And when the plague fell upon them, they said: O Musa! pray for us to
your Lord as He has promised with you, if you remove the plague from
us, we will certainly believe in you and we will certainly send away
with you the children of Israel.
007.135
Y: But every time We removed the penalty from them according to a fixed
term which they had to fulfil,- Behold! they broke their word!
P: But when We did remove from them the terror for a term which they
must reach, behold! they broke their covenant.
S: But when We removed the plague from them till a term which they
should attain lo! they broke (the promise).
