How translators rendered it

Translation · 5 editions

These translations render verse 14:17 — the whole verse this word appears in — not this word alone. The correspondence is verse-level: no word-level alignment of translations exists for these editions, so we do not claim which English word renders this Arabic word. Compare the editions →

He will guzzle it, but he will not swallow it. Death will come at him from every direction, but he will not die. And beyond this is relentless suffering
Translation · Talal Itani (2012)CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
Which he sippeth but can hardly swallow, and death cometh unto him from every side while yet he cannot die, and before him is a harsh doom
Translation · Marmaduke Pickthall (1930)Public Domain
He shall sup it and scarce swallow it for loathing; and Death shall assail him on every side, but he shall not die: and before him shall be seen a grievous torment
Translation · John Medows Rodwell (1861)Public Domain
He shall try to swallow it, but cannot gulp it down; and death shall come upon him from every place, and yet he shall not die; and behind him shall be rigorous woe
Translation · Edward Henry Palmer (1880)Public Domain
he gulps down and not almost he swallows down and he comes to the death from every place and not He by dead and from his beyond punishment harsh

Generated from a table of word-by-word decisions, not written as prose. Arabic word order is preserved, so it reads stiffly and is not a substitute for a translation written by a person. Every verse is rendered, but the whole remains under review: words marked as judgement rest on weaker evidence than the rest and are flagged in place. No tafsir, hadith or existing translation was consulted.
