Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
003.111
Y: They will do you no harm, barring a trifling annoyance; if they come
out to fight you, they will show you their backs, and no help shall
they get.
P: They will not harm you save a trifling hurt, and if they fight
against you they will turn and flee. And afterward they will not be
helped.
S: They shall by no means harm you but with a slight evil; and if they
fight with you they shall turn (their) backs to you, then shall they
not be helped.
003.112
Y: Shame is pitched over them (Like a tent) wherever they are found,
except when under a covenant (of protection) from Allah and from men;
they draw on themselves wrath from Allah, and pitched over them is (the
tent of) destitution. This because they rejected the Signs of Allah,
and slew the prophets in defiance of right; this because they rebelled
and transgressed beyond bounds.
P: Ignominy shall be their portion wheresoever they are found save
(where they grasp) a rope from Allah and a rope from men. They have
incurred anger from their Lord, and wretchedness is laid upon them.
That is because they used to disbelieve the revelations of Allah, and
slew the prophets wrongfully. That is because they were rebellious and
used to transgress.
S: Abasement is made to cleave to them wherever they are found, except
under a covenant with Allah and a covenant with men, and they have
become deserving of wrath from Allah, and humiliation is made to cleave
to them; this is because they disbelieved in the communications of
Allah and slew the prophets unjustly; this is because they disobeyed
and exceeded the limits.
003.113
Y: Not all of them are alike: Of the People of the Book are a portion
that stand (For the right): They rehearse the Signs of Allah all night
long, and they prostrate themselves in adoration.
P: They are not all alike. Of the People of the Scripture there is a
staunch community who recite the revelations of Allah in the night
season, falling prostrate (before Him).
S: They are not all alike; of the followers of the Book there is an
upright party; they recite Allah's communications in the nighttime and
they adore (Him).
003.114
Y: They believe in Allah and the Last Day; they enjoin what is right,
and forbid what is wrong; and they hasten (in emulation) in (all) good
works: They are in the ranks of the righteous.
P: They believe in Allah and the Last Day, and enjoin right conduct and
forbid indecency, and vie one with another in good works. These are of
the righteous.
S: They believe in Allah and the last day, and they enjoin what is right
and forbid the wrong and they strive with one another in hastening to
good deeds, and those are among the good.
003.115
Y: Of the good that they do, nothing will be rejected of them; for Allah
knoweth well those that do right.
P: And whatever good they do, they will not be denied the meed thereof.
Allah is Aware of those who ward off (evil).
