P:  O ye unto whom the Scripture hath been given!  Believe in what We have revealed confirming that which ye possess, before We destroy countenances so as to confound them, or curse them as We cursed the Sabbath-breakers (of old time).  The commandment of Allah is always executed.

S:  O you who have been given the Book! believe that which We have revealed, verifying what you have, before We alter faces then turn them on their backs, or curse them as We cursed the violaters of the Sabbath, and the command of Allah shall be executed.

004.048 Y:  Allah forgiveth not that partners should be set up with Him; but He forgiveth anything else, to whom He pleaseth; to set up partners with Allah is to devise a sin most heinous indeed.

P:  Lo!  Allah forgiveth not that a partner should be ascribed unto Him.  He forgiveth (all) save that to whom He will.  Whoso ascribeth partners to Allah, he hath indeed invented a tremendous sin.

S:  Surely Allah does not forgive that anything should be associated with Him, and forgives what is besides that to whomsoever He pleases; and whoever associates anything with Allah, he devises indeed a great sin.

004.049 Y:  Hast thou not turned Thy vision to those who claim sanctity for themselves?  Nay-but Allah Doth sanctify whom He pleaseth.  But never will they fail to receive justice in the least little thing.

P:  Hast thou not seen those who praise themselves for purity?  Nay, Allah purifieth whom He will, and they will not be wronged even the hair upon a date-stone.

S:  Have you not considered those who attribute purity to themselves?  Nay, Allah purifies whom He pleases; and they shall not be wronged the husk of a date stone.

004.050 Y:  Behold! how they invent a lie against Allah! but that by itself is a manifest sin!

P:  See, how they invent lies about Allah!  That of itself is flagrant sin.

S:  See how they forge the lie against Allah, and this is sufficient as a manifest sin.

004.051 Y:  Hast thou not turned Thy vision to those who were given a portion of the Book? they believe in sorcery and Evil, and say to the Unbelievers that they are better guided in the (right) way Than the believers!

P:  Hast thou not seen those unto whom a portion of the Scripture hath been given, how they believe in idols and false deities, and how they say of those (idolaters) who disbelieve:  “These are more rightly guided than those who believe”?

S:  Have you not seen those to whom a portion of the Book has been given?  They believe in idols and false deities and say of those who disbelieve:  These are better guided in the path than those who believe.

004.052 Y:  They are (men) whom Allah hath cursed:  And those whom Allah Hath cursed, thou wilt find, have no one to help.

P:  Those are they whom Allah hath cursed, and he whom Allah hath cursed, thou (O Muhammad) wilt find for him no helper.
