إِذَا

Until, when he reached the point separating the two barriers, he found beside them a people who could barely understand what is said

Till, when he came between the two mountains, he found upon their hither side a folk that scarce could understand a saying

Until he came between the two mountains, beneath which he found a people who scarce understood a language

until when he reached the point between the two mountains, he found below them both a people who could scarcely understand speech

until when he reached between the two barriers he found from their apart from people not almost they comprehend word

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.
