S:  So leave Me and him who rejects this announcement; We will overtake them by degrees, from whence they perceive not: 

068.045 Y:  A (long) respite will I grant them:  truly powerful is My Plan.

P:  Yet I bear with them, for lo!  My scheme is firm.

S:  And I do bear with them, surely My plan is firm.

068.046 Y:  Or is it that thou dost ask them for a reward, so that they are burdened with a load of debt?-

P:  Or dost thou (Muhammad) ask a fee from them so that they are heavily taxed?

S:  Or do you ask from them a reward, so that they are burdened with debt?

068.047 Y:  Or that the Unseen is in their hands, so that they can write it down?

P:  Or is the Unseen theirs that they can write (thereof)?

S:  Or have they (the knowledge of) the unseen, so that they write (it) down?

068.048 Y:  So wait with patience for the Command of thy Lord, and be not like the Companion of the Fish,- when he cried out in agony.

P:  But wait thou for thy Lord’s decree, and be not like him of the fish, who cried out in despair.

S:  So wait patiently for the judgment of your Lord, and be not like the companion of the fish, when he cried while he was in distress.

068.049 Y:  Had not Grace from his Lord reached him, he would indeed have been cast off on the naked shore, in disgrace.

P:  Had it not been that favour from his Lord had reached him he surely had been cast into the wilderness while he was reprobate.

S:  Were it not that favor from his Lord had overtaken him, he would certainly have been cast down upon the naked Found while he was blamed.

068.050 Y:  Thus did his Lord choose him and make him of the Company of the Righteous.

P:  But his Lord chose him and placed him among the righteous.

S:  Then his Lord chose him, and He made him of the good.

068.051 Y:  And the Unbelievers would almost trip thee up with their eyes when they hear the Message; and they say:  “Surely he is possessed!”

P:  And lo! those who disbelieve would fain disconcert thee with their eyes when they hear the Reminder, and they say:  Lo! he is indeed mad;

S:  And those who disbelieve would almost smite you with their eyes when they hear the reminder, and they say:  Most surely he is mad.

068.052 Y:  But it is nothing less than a Message to all the worlds.

P:  When it is naught else than a Reminder to creation.

S:  And it is naught but a reminder to the nations.
