S:  He sends down water from the cloud, then watercourses flow (with water) according to their measure, and the torrent bears along the swelling foam, and from what they melt in the fire for the sake of making ornaments or apparatus arises a scum like it; thus does Allah compare truth and falsehood; then as for the scum, it passes away as a worthless thing; and as for that which profits the people, it tarries in the earth; thus does Allah set forth parables.

013.018 Y:  For those who respond to their Lord, are (all) good things.  But those who respond not to Him,- Even if they had all that is in the heavens and on earth, and as much more, (in vain) would they offer it for ransom.  For them will the reckoning be terrible:  their abode will be Hell,- what a bed of misery!

P:  For those who answered Allah’s call is bliss; and for those who answered not His call, if they had all that is in the earth, and therewith the like thereof, they would proffer it as ransom.  Such will have a woeful reckoning, and their habitation will be hell, a dire abode.

S:  For those who respond to their Lord is good; and (as for) those who do not respond to Him, had they all that is in the earth and the like thereof with it they would certainly offer it for a ransom. (As for) those, an evil reckoning shall be theirs and their abode is hell, and evil is the resting-place.

P:  Is he who knoweth that what is revealed unto thee from thy Lord is the truth like him who is blind?  But only men of understanding heed;

S:  Is he then who knows that what has been revealed to you from your Lord is the truth like him who is blind?  Only those possessed of understanding will mind,

013.020 Y:  Those who fulfil the covenant of Allah and fail not in their plighted word;

P:  Such as keep the pact of Allah, and break not the covenant;

S:  Those who fulfil the promise of Allah and do not break the covenant,

013.021 Y:  Those who join together those things which Allah hath commanded to be joined, hold their Lord in awe, and fear the terrible reckoning;

P:  Such as unite that which Allah hath commandeth should be joined, and fear their Lord, and dread a woeful reckoning;

S:  And those who join that which Allah has bidden to be joined and have awe of their Lord and fear the evil reckoning.

013.022 Y:  Those who patiently persevere, seeking the countenance of their Lord; Establish regular prayers; spend, out of (the gifts) We have bestowed for their sustenance, secretly and openly; and turn off Evil with good:  for such there is the final attainment of the (eternal) home,-

P:  Such as persevere in seeking their Lord’s Countenance and are regular in prayer and spend of that which We bestow upon them secretly and openly, and overcome evil with good.  Theirs will be the sequel of the (heavenly) Home,
