S:  The day on which you will turn back retreating; there shall be no savior for you from Allah, and whomsoever Allah causes to err, there is no guide for him: 

040.034 Y:  “And to you there came Joseph in times gone by, with Clear Signs, but ye ceased not to doubt of the (Mission) for which he had come:  At length, when he died, ye said:  ’No messenger will Allah send after him.’ thus doth Allah leave to stray such as transgress and live in doubt,"-

P:  And verily Joseph brought you of old clear proofs, yet ye ceased not to be in doubt concerning what he brought you till, when he died, ye said:  Allah will not send any messenger after him.  Thus Allah deceiveth him who is a prodigal, a doubter.

S:  And certainly Yusuf came to you before with clear arguments, but you ever remained in doubt as to what he brought; until when he died, you said:  Allah will never raise a messenger after him.  Thus does Allah cause him to err who is extravagant, a doubter,

040.035 Y:  “(Such) as dispute about the Signs of Allah, without any authority that hath reached them, grievous and odious (is such conduct) in the sight of Allah and of the Believers.  Thus doth Allah, seal up every heart — of arrogant and obstinate Transgressors.”

P:  Those who wrangle concerning the revelations of Allah without any warrant that hath come unto them, it is greatly hateful in the sight of Allah and in the sight of those who believe.  Thus doth Allah print on every arrogant, disdainful heart.

S:  Those who dispute concerning the communications of Allah without any authority that He has given them; greatly hated is it by Allah and by those who believe.  Thus does Allah set a seal over the heart of every proud, haughty one.

040.036 Y:  Pharaoh said:  “O Haman!  Build me a lofty palace, that I may attain the ways and means-”

P:  And Pharaoh said:  O Haman!  Build for me a tower that haply I may reach the roads,

S:  And Firon said:  O Haman! build for me a tower that I may attain the means of access,

040.037 Y:  “The ways and means of (reaching) the heavens, and that I may mount up to the god of Moses:  But as far as I am concerned, I think (Moses) is a liar!” Thus was made alluring, in Pharaoh’s eyes, the evil of his deeds, and he was hindered from the Path; and the plot of Pharaoh led to nothing but perdition (for him).

P:  The roads of the heavens, and may look upon the god of Moses, though verily I think him a liar.  Thus was the evil that he did made fairseeming unto Pharaoh, and he was debarred from the (right) way.  The plot of Pharaoh ended but in ruin.

S:  The means of access to the heavens, then reach the god of Musa, and I surely think him to be a liar.  And thus the evil of his deed was made fairseeming to Firon, and he was turned away from the way; and the struggle of Firon was not (to end) in aught but destruction.

040.038 Y:  The man who believed said further:  “O my people!  Follow me:  I will lead you to the Path of Right.”
