P:  He coineth for you a similitude of yourselves.  Have ye, from among those whom your right hands possess, partners in the wealth We have bestowed upon you, equal with you in respect thereof, so that ye fear them as ye fear each other (that ye ascribe unto Us partners out of that which We created)?  Thus We display the revelations for people who have sense.

S:  He sets forth to you a parable relating to yourselves:  Have you among those whom your right hands possess partners in what We have given you for sustenance, so that with respect to it you are alike; you fear them as you fear each other?  Thus do We make the communications distinct for a people who understand.

030.029 Y:  Nay, the wrong-doers (merely) follow their own lusts, being devoid of knowledge.  But who will guide those whom Allah leaves astray?  To them there will be no helpers.

P:  Nay, but those who do wrong follow their own lusts without knowledge.  Who is able to guide him whom Allah hath sent astray?  For such there are no helpers.

S:  Nay! those who are unjust follow their low desires without any knowledge; so who can guide him whom Allah makes err?  And they shall have no helpers.

030.030 Y:  So set thou thy face steadily and truly to the Faith:  (establish) Allah’s handiwork according to the pattern on which He has made mankind:  no change (let there be) in the work (wrought) by Allah:  that is the standard Religion:  but most among mankind understand not.

030.031 Y:  Turn ye back in repentance to Him, and fear Him:  establish regular prayers, and be not ye among those who join gods with Allah,-

P:  Turning unto Him (only); and be careful of your duty unto Him and establish worship, and be not of those who ascribe partners (unto Him);

S:  Turning to Him, and be careful of (your duty to) Him and keep up prayer and be not of the polytheists,

030.032 Y:  Those who split up their Religion, and become (mere) Sects,- each party rejoicing in that which is with itself!

P:  Of those who split up their religion and became schismatics, each sect exulting in its tenets.

S:  Of those who divided their religion and became sects, every sect rejoicing in what they had with them.

030.033 Y:  When trouble touches men, they cry to their Lord, turning back to Him in repentance:  but when He gives them a taste of Mercy as from Himself, behold, some of them pay part-worship to other god’s besides their Lord,-
