040.069 Y:  Seest thou not those that dispute concerning the Signs of Allah?  How are they turned away (from Reality)?-

P:  Hast thou not seen those who wrangle concerning the revelations of Allah, how they are turned away? —

S:  Have you not seen those who dispute with respect to the communications of Allah:  how are they turned away?

040.070 Y:  Those who reject the Book and the (revelations) with which We sent our messengers:  but soon shall they know,-

P:  Those who deny the Scripture and that wherewith We send Our messengers.  But they will come to know,

S:  Those who reject the Book and that with which We have sent Our Messenger; but they shall soon come to know,

040.071 Y:  When the yokes (shall be) round their necks, and the chains; they shall be dragged along-

P:  When carcans are about their necks and chains.  They are dragged

S:  When the fetters and the chains shall be on their necks; they shall be dragged

040.072 Y:  In the boiling fetid fluid:  then in the Fire shall they be burned;

P:  Through boiling waters; then they are thrust into the Fire.

S:  Into boiling water, then in the fire shall they be burned;

040.073 Y:  Then shall it be said to them:  “Where are the (deities) to which ye gave part-worship-”

P:  Then it is said unto them:  Where are (all) that ye used to make partners (in the Sovereignty)

S:  Then shall it be said to them:  Where is that which you used to set up

040.074 Y:  “In derogation of Allah?” They will reply:  “They have left us in the lurch:  Nay, we invoked not, of old, anything (that had real existence).”  Thus does Allah leave the Unbelievers to stray.

P:  Beside Allah?  They say:  They have failed us; but we used not to pray to anything before.  Thus doth Allah send astray the disbelievers (in His guidance).

S:  Besides Allah?  They shall say:  They are gone away from us, nay, we used not to call upon anything before.  Thus does Allah confound the unbelievers.

040.075 Y:  “That was because ye were wont to rejoice on the earth in things other than the Truth, and that ye were wont to be insolent.”

P:  (And it is said unto them):  This is because ye exulted in the earth without right, and because ye were petulant.

S:  That is because you exulted in the land unjustly and because you behaved insolently.

040.076 Y:  “Enter ye the gates of Hell, to dwell therein:  and evil is (this) abode of the arrogant!”

P:  Enter ye the gates of hell, to dwell therein.  Evil is the habitation of the scornful.

S:  Enter the gates of hell to abide therein, evil then is the abode of the proud.

040.077 Y:  So persevere in patience; for the Promise of Allah is true:  and whether We show thee (in this life) some part of what We promise them,- or We take thy soul (to Our Mercy) (before that),-(in any case) it is to Us that they shall (all) return.
