P:  And, O my people! who would deliver me from Allah if I thrust them away?  Will ye not then reflect?

S:  And, O my people! who will help me against Allah if I drive them away?  Will you not then mind?

011.031 Y:  “I tell you not that with me are the treasures of Allah, nor do I know what is hidden, nor claim I to be an angel.  Nor yet do I say, of those whom your eyes do despise that Allah will not grant them (all) that is good:  Allah knoweth best what is in their souls:  I should, if I did, indeed be a wrong-doer.”

P:  I say not unto you:  “I have the treasures of Allah” nor “I have knowledge of the Unseen,” nor say I:  “Lo!  I am an angel!” Nor say I unto those whom your eyes scorn that Allah will not give them good — Allah knoweth best what is in their hearts — Lo! then indeed I should be of the wrong-doers.

S:  And I do not say to you that I have the treasures of Allah and I do not know the unseen, nor do I say that I am an angel, nor do I say about those whom your eyes hold in mean estimation (that) Allah will never grant them (any) good—­ Allah knows best what is in their souls—­ for then most surely I should be of the unjust.

011.032 Y:  They said:  “O Noah! thou hast disputed with us, and (much) hast thou prolonged the dispute with us:  now bring upon us what thou threatenest us with, if thou speakest the truth!”

P:  They said:  O Noah!  Thou hast disputed with us and multiplied disputation with us; now bring upon us that wherewith thou threatenest us, if thou art of the truthful.

S:  They said:  O Nuh! indeed you have disputed with us and lengthened dispute with us, therefore bring to us what you threaten us with, if you are of the truthful ones.

011.033 Y:  He said:  “Truly, Allah will bring it on you if He wills,- and then, ye will not be able to frustrate it!”

P:  He said:  Only Allah will bring it upon you if He will, and ye can by no means escape.

S:  He said:  Allah only will bring it to you if He please, and you will not escape: 

011.034 Y:  “Of no profit will be my counsel to you, much as I desire to give you (good) counsel, if it be that Allah willeth to leave you astray:  He is your Lord! and to Him will ye return!”

P:  My counsel will not profit you if I were minded to advise you, if Allah’s will is to keep you astray.  He is your Lord and unto Him ye will be brought back.

S:  And if I intend to give you good advice, my advice will not profit you if Allah intended that He should leave you to go astray; He is your Lord, and to Him shall you be returned.

011.035 Y:  Or do they say, “He has forged it”?  Say:  “If I had forged it, on me were my sins! and I am free of the sins of which ye are guilty!”

P:  Or say they (again):  He hath invented it?  Say:  If I have invented it, upon me be my crimes, but I am innocent of (all) that ye commit.
