010.068 Y:  They say:  “Allah hath begotten a son!” — Glory be to Him!  He is self-sufficient!  His are all things in the heavens and on earth!  No warrant have ye for this! say ye about Allah what ye know not?

P:  They say:  Allah hath taken (unto Him) a son — Glorified be He!  He hath no needs!  His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth.  Ye have no warrant for this.  Tell ye concerning Allah that which ye know not?

S:  They say:  Allah has taken a son (to Himself)!  Glory be to Him:  He is the Self-sufficient:  His is what is in the heavens and what is in the earth; you have no authority for this; do you say against Allah what you do not know?

010.069 Y:  Say:  “Those who invent a lie against Allah will never prosper.”

P:  Say:  Verily those who invent a lie concerning Allah will not succeed.

S:  Say:  Those who forge a lie against Allah shall not be successful.

010.070 Y:  A little enjoyment in this world!- and then, to Us will be their return, then shall We make them taste the severest penalty for their blasphemies.

P:  This world’s portion (will be theirs), then unto Us is their return.  Then We make them taste a dreadful doom because they used to disbelieve.

S:  (It is only) a provision in this world, then to Us shall be their return; then We shall make them taste severe punishment because they disbelieved.

010.071 Y:  Relate to them the story of Noah.  Behold! he said to his people:  “O my people, if it be hard on your (mind) that I should stay (with you) and commemorate the signs of Allah,- yet I put my trust in Allah.  Get ye then an agreement about your plan and among your partners, so your plan be on to you dark and dubious.  Then pass your sentence on me, and give me no respite.”

P:  Recite unto them the story of Noah, when he told his people:  O my people!  If my sojourn (here) and my reminding you by Allah’s revelations are an offence unto you, in Allah have I put my trust, so decide upon your course of action you and your partners.  Let not your course of action be in doubt for you.  Then have at me, give me no respite.

S:  And recite to them the story of Nuh when he said to his people:  O my people! if my stay and my reminding (you) by the communications of Allah is hard on you—­ yet on Allah do I rely—­ then resolve upon your affair and (gather) your associates, then let not your affair remain dubious to you, then have it executed against me and give me no respite: 

010.072 Y:  “But if ye turn back, (consider):  no reward have I asked of you:  my reward is only due from Allah, and I have been commanded to be of those who submit to Allah’s will (in Islam).”

P:  But if ye are averse I have asked of you no wage.  My wage is the concern of Allah only, and I am commanded to be of those who surrender (unto Him).

S:  But if you turn back, I did not ask for any reward from you; my reward is only with Allah, and I am commanded that I should be of those who submit.
