Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
008.007
Y: Behold! Allah promised you one of the two (enemy) parties, that it
should be yours: Ye wished that the one unarmed should be yours, but
Allah willed to justify the Truth according to His words and to cut off
the roots of the Unbelievers;-
P: And when Allah promised you one of the two bands (of the enemy) that
it should be yours, and ye longed that other than the armed one might
be yours. And Allah willed that He should cause the Truth to triumph by
His words, and cut the root of the disbelievers;
S: And when Allah promised you one of the two parties that it shall be
yours and you loved that the one not armed should he yours and Allah
desired to manifest the truth of what was true by His words and to cut
off the root of the unbelievers.
008.008
Y: That He might justify Truth and prove Falsehood false, distasteful
though it be to those in guilt.
P: That He might cause the Truth to triumph and bring vanity to naught,
however much the guilty might oppose;
S: That He may manifest the truth of what was true and show the
falsehood of what was false, though the guilty disliked.
008.009
Y: Remember ye implored the assistance of your Lord, and He answered
you: "I will assist you with a thousand of the angels, ranks on ranks."
P: When ye sought help of your Lord and He answered you (saying): I will
help you with a thousand of the angels, rank on rank.
S: When you sought aid from your Lord, so He answered you: I will assist
you with a thousand of the angels following one another.
008.010
Y: Allah made it but a message of hope, and an assurance to your hearts:
(in any case) there is no help except from Allah: and Allah is Exalted
in Power, Wise.
P: Allah appointed it only as good tidings, and that your hearts thereby
might be at rest. Victory cometh only by the help of Allah. Lo! Allah
is Mighty, Wise.
S: And Allah only gave it as a good news and that your hearts might be
at ease thereby; and victory is only from Allah; surely Allah is
Mighty, Wise.
008.011
Y: Remember He covered you with a sort of drowsiness, to give you calm
as from Himself, and he caused rain to descend on you from heaven, to
clean you therewith, to remove from you the stain of Satan, to
strengthen your hearts, and to plant your feet firmly therewith.
P: When He made the slumber fall upon you as a reassurance from him and
sent down water from the sky upon you, that thereby He might purify
you, and remove from you the fear of Satan, and make strong your hearts
and firm (your) feet thereby.
S: When He caused calm to fall on you as a security from Him and sent
down upon you water from the cloud that He might thereby purify you,
and take away from you the uncleanness of the Shaitan, and that He
might fortify your hearts and steady (your) footsteps thereby.
