Now we confess our sins, then is there any way to get out (of the Fire)?" 040:011 Maulana They say: Our Lord, twice has Thou made us die, and twice has Thou given us life; so we confess our sins.

But the command belongeth only to Allah, the Sublime, the Majestic. 040:012 Rashad This is because when GOD ALONE was advocated, you disbelieved, but when others were mentioned beside Him, you believed. Therefore, GOD's judgment has been issued; He is the Most High, the Great. 040:012 Sarwar They will be answered, "Your suffering is only because you disbelieved when One God was mentioned. When other things were considered equal to Him, you believed in them. Judgment belongs to God, the Most High, the Most Great. 040:012 Shakir That is because when Allah alone was called upon, you disbelieved, and when associates were given to Him, you believed; so judgment belongs to Allah, the High, the Great. 040:012 Sherali It will be said to them, `This is because, when ALLAH alone was called upon, you disbelieved, but when partners were associated with HIM, you believed. The decision now rests only with ALLAH, the High, the Incomparably Great.' 040:012 Yusufali (The answer will be:) "This is because, when Allah was invoked as the Only (object of worship), ye did reject Faith, but when partners were joined to Him, ye believed! the Command is with Allah, Most High, Most Great!” 040:013 040:013 Khan It is He, Who shows you His Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and sends down (rain with which grows) provision for you from the sky.

He is Strong, severe in punishment. 040:022 Rashad That is because their messengers went to them with clear proofs, but they disbelieved. Consequently, GOD punished them. He is Mighty, strict in enforcing retribution. 040:022 Sarwar Messengers had come to them with illustrious miracles but they disbelieved and thus God struck them with His torment. He is Mighty and Severe in His retribution. 040:022 Shakir That was because there came to them their messengers with clear arguments, but they rejected (them), therefore Allah destroyed them; surely He is Strong, Severe in retribution. 040:022 Sherali That was because their Messengers came to them with manifest Signs but they disbelieved; So ALLAH seized them.

Thus, the scheming of the disbelievers is always wicked. 040:025 Sarwar When We sent him to them for a genuine purpose, they said, "Kill the sons of those who have believed in him but keep their women alive." The plots of the unbelievers can only result in failure. 040:025 Shakir So when he brought to them the truth from Us, they said: Slay the sons of those who believe with him and keep their women alive; and the struggle of the unbelievers will only come to a state of perdition. 040:025 Sherali And when he came to them with truth from US, they said, `Slay the sons of those who have believed with him, and let their women live.'

Surely, GOD does not guide any transgressor, liar. 040:028 Sarwar A believing person from the people of the Pharaoh who concealed his faith said, "Would you kill a man just because he says God is my Lord? He has brought you illustrious miracles from your Lord. If he speaks lies, it will only harm him, but if he speaks the Truth, some of his warnings may affect you.

Their (worldly) gains were of no benefit to them. 040:082 Shakir Have they not then journeyed in the land and seen how was the end of those before them? They were more (in numbers) than these and greater in strength and in fortifications in the land, but what they earned did not avail them. 040:082 Sherali Have they not traveled in the earth that they might see what was the end of those who were before them? They were more numerous than these, and mightier in power and left firmer traces in the earth. But all that which they earned was of no avail to them. 040:082 Yusufali Do they not travel through the earth and see what was the End of those before them? They were more numerous than these and superior in strength and in the traces (they have left) in the land: Yet all that they accomplished was of no profit to them. 040:083 040:083 Khan Then when their Messengers came to them with clear proofs, they were glad (and proud) with that which they had of the knowledge (of worldly things): And that at which they used to mock, surrounded them (i.e. the punishment). 040:083 Maulana Then when their messengers came to them with clear arguments, they exulted in what they had with them of knowledge and that at which they used to mock befell them. 040:083 Pickthal And when their messengers brought them clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty) they exulted in the knowledge they (themselves) possessed. And that which they were wont to mock befell them. 040:083 Rashad When their messengers went to them with clear proofs, they rejoiced in the knowledge they had inherited, and the very things they ridiculed were the cause of their fall. 040:083 Sarwar They were far too content with their own knowledge (to pay attention to the Messengers) when Our Messengers came to them with illustrious evidence. They were encompassed by the torment for mocking Our guidance. 040:083 Shakir Then when their messengers came to them with clear arguments, they exulted in what they had with them of knowledge, and there beset them that which they used to mock. 040:083 Sherali And when their Messengers came to them with manifest Signs, they exulted in the little knowledge they had. And that at which they mocked encompassed them. 040:083 Yusufali For when their messengers came to them with Clear Signs, they exulted in such knowledge (and skill) as they had; but that very (Wrath) at which they were wont to scoff hemmed them in. 040:084 040:084 Khan So when they saw Our punishment, they said: "We believe in Allah Alone and reject (all) that we used to associate with Him as (His) partners. 040:084 Maulana So when they saw Our punishment, they said: We believe in Allah alone, and we deny what we used to associate with Him. 040:084 Pickthal Then, when they saw Our doom, they said: We believe in Allah only and reject (all) that we used to associate (with Him). 040:084 Rashad Subsequently, when they saw our retribution they said, "Now we believe in GOD ALONE, and we now disbelieve in the idol worship that we used to practice." 040:084 Sarwar They said, "We believe in One God and disbelieve in whatever we had considered equal to Him," when they experienced Our wrath.. 040:084 Shakir But when they saw Our punishment, they said: We believe in Allah alone and we deny what we used to associate with Him. 040:084 Sherali And when they saw Our punishment they said, `We believe in ALLAH alone and we reject all that which we used to associate with HIM.' 040:084 Yusufali But when they saw Our Punishment, they said: "We believe in Allah,- the one Allah - and we reject the partners we used to join with Him.” 040:085 040:085 Khan Then their Faith (in Islamic Monotheism) could not avail them when they saw Our punishment. (Like) this has been the way of Allah in dealing with His slaves. And there the disbelievers lost utterly (when Our Torment covered them). 040:085 Maulana But their faith could not profit them when they saw Our punishment. Such is Allah’s law, which ever takes its course in the matter of His servants; and there the disbelievers are lost. 040:085 Pickthal But their faith could not avail them when they saw Our doom. This is Allah's law which hath ever taken course for His bondmen. And then the disbelievers will be ruined. 040:085 Rashad Their belief then could not help them in the least, once they saw our retribution. Such is GOD's system that has been established to deal with His creatures; the disbelievers are always doomed. 040:085 Sarwar Their faith proved to be of no benefit to them when they became subject to Our torment. Such was God's prevailing tradition among His servants in the past. Thus were the unbelievers destroyed. 040:085 Shakir But their belief was not going to profit them when they had seen Our punishment; (this is) Allah's law, which has indeed obtained in the matter of His servants, and there the unbelievers are lost. 040:085 Sherali But their faith could not profit them when they saw Our punishment. This is ALLAH's law that has ever been in operation in respect of HIS servants. And thus perished those who disbelieved. 040:085 Yusufali But their professing the Faith when they (actually) saw Our Punishment was not going to profit them. (Such has been) Allah's Way of dealing with His Servants (from the most ancient times). And even thus did the Rejecters of Allah perish (utterly)!
