P:  And We shall take out from every nation a witness and We shall say:  Bring your proof.  Then they will know that Allah hath the Truth, and all that they invented will have failed them.

S:  And We will draw forth from among every nation a witness and say:  Bring your proof; then shall they know that the truth is Allah’s, and that which they forged shall depart from them.

028.076 Y:  Qarun was doubtless, of the people of Moses; but he acted insolently towards them:  such were the treasures We had bestowed on him that their very keys would have been a burden to a body of strong men, behold, his people said to him:  “Exult not, for Allah loveth not those who exult (in riches).”

P:  Now Korah was of Moses’ folk, but he oppressed them; and We gave him so much treasure that the stores thereof would verily have been a burden for a troop of mighty men.  When his own folk said unto him:  Exult not; lo!  Allah loveth not the exultant;

S:  Surely Qaroun was of the people of Musa, but he rebelled against them, and We had given him of the treasures, so much so that his hoards of wealth would certainly weigh down a company of men possessed of great strength.  When his people said to him:  Do not exult, surely Allah does not love the exultant;

028.077 Y:  “But seek, with the (wealth) which Allah has bestowed on thee, the Home of the Hereafter, nor forget thy portion in this world:  but do thou good, as Allah has been good to thee, and seek not (occasions for) mischief in the land:  for Allah loves not those who do mischief.”

P:  But seek the abode of the Hereafter in that which Allah hath given thee and neglect not thy portion of the world, and be thou kind even as Allah hath been kind to thee, and seek not corruption in the earth; lo!  Allah loveth not corrupters,

S:  And seek by means of what Allah has given you the future abode, and do not neglect your portion of this world, and do good (to others) as Allah has done good to you, and do not seek to make mischief in the land, surely Allah does not love the mischief-makers.

028.078 Y:  He said:  “This has been given to me because of a certain knowledge which I have.”  Did he not know that Allah had destroyed, before him, (whole) generations,- which were superior to him in strength and greater in the amount (of riches) they had collected? but the wicked are not called (immediately) to account for their sins.

P:  He said:  I have been given it only on account of knowledge I possess.  Knew he not that Allah had destroyed already of the generations before him men who were mightier than him in strength and greater in respect of following?  The guilty are not questioned of their sins.

S:  He said:  I have been given this only on account of the knowledge I have.  Did he not know that Allah had destroyed before him of the generations those who were mightier in strength than he and greater in assemblage?  And the guilty shall not be asked about their faults.
