How translators rendered it

Translation · 5 editions

These translations render verse 16:74 — 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 →

So do not cite the examples for God. God knows, and you do not know
Translation · Talal Itani (2012)CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
So coin not similitudes for Allah. Lo! Allah knoweth; ye know not
Translation · Marmaduke Pickthall (1930)Public Domain
Make no comparisons, therefore, with God. Verily, God hath knowledge, but ye have not
Translation · John Medows Rodwell (1861)Public Domain
Do not then strike out parables for God! Verily, God knows, but ye do not know
Translation · Edward Henry Palmer (1880)Public Domain
so not you strike for Allah the likeness indeed Allah he knows and you not you know

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.
