Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
S: And among the followers of the Book there are some such that if you
entrust one (of them) with a heap of wealth, he shall pay it back to
you; and among them there are some such that if you entrust one (of
them) with a dinar he shall not pay it back to you except so long as
you remain firm in demanding it; this is because they say: There is not
upon us in the matter of the unlearned people any way (to reproach);
and they tell a lie against Allah while they know.
003.076
Y: Nay.- Those that keep their plighted faith and act aright,-verily
Allah loves those who act aright.
P: Nay, but (the chosen of Allah is) he who fulfilleth his pledge and
wardeth off (evil); for lo! Allah loveth those who ward off (evil).
S: Yea, whoever fulfills his promise and guards (against evil)-- then
surely Allah loves those who guard (against evil).
003.077
Y: As for those who sell the faith they owe to Allah and their own
plighted word for a small price, they shall have no portion in the
Hereafter: Nor will Allah (Deign to) speak to them or look at them on
the Day of Judgment, nor will He cleans them (of sin): They shall have
a grievous penalty.
P: Lo! those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's covenant
and their oaths, they have no portion in the Hereafter. Allah will
neither speak to them nor look upon them on the Day of Resurrection,
nor will He make them grow. Theirs will be a painful doom.
S: (As for) those who take a small price for the covenant of Allah and
their own oaths-- surely they shall have no portion in the hereafter,
and Allah will not speak to them, nor will He look upon them on the day
of resurrection nor will He purify them, and they shall have a painful
chastisement.
003.078
Y: There is among them a section who distort the Book with their
tongues: (As they read) you would think it is a part of the Book, but
it is no part of the Book; and they say, "That is from Allah," but it
is not from Allah: It is they who tell a lie against Allah, and (well)
they know it!
P: And lo! there is a party of them who distort the Scripture with their
tongues, that ye may think that what they say is from the Scripture,
when it is not from the Scripture. And they say: It is from Allah, when
it is not from Allah; and they speak a lie concerning Allah knowingly.
S: Most surely there is a party amongst those who distort the Book with
their tongue that you may consider it to be (a part) of the Book, and
they say, It is from Allah, while it is not from Allah, and they tell a
lie against Allah whilst they know.
003.079
Y: It is not (possible) that a man, to whom is given the Book, and
Wisdom, and the prophetic office, should say to people: "Be ye my
worshippers rather than Allah's": on the contrary (He would say) "Be ye
worshippers of Him Who is truly the Cherisher of all: For ye have
taught the Book and ye have studied it earnestly."
