In context
Quranic text · Tanzil Uthmani 1.1How translators rendered it
Translation · 5 editionsThese translations render verse 16:126 — 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 →
If you were to retaliate, retaliate to the same degree as the injury done to you. But if you resort to patience—it is better for the patientIf ye punish, then punish with the like of that wherewith ye were afflicted. But if ye endure patiently, verily it is better for the patientIf ye make reprisals, then make them to the same extent that ye were injured: but if ye can endure patiently, best will it be for the patiently enduringBut if ye punish, punish (only) as ye were punished; but if ye are patient, it is best for those who are patientand if you retaliated retaliate by like what was retaliated in it and if indeed you were steadfast surely he good for the one who is steadfastsGenerated 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.
