How translators rendered it

Translation · 5 editions

These translations render verse 19:12 — 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 →

“O John, hold on to the Scripture firmly,” and We gave him wisdom in his youth
Translation · Talal Itani (2012)CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
(And it was said unto his son): O John! Hold fast the Scripture. And we gave him wisdom when a child
Translation · Marmaduke Pickthall (1930)Public Domain
We said: "O John! receive the Book with purpose of heart:" - and We bestowed on him wisdom while yet a child
Translation · John Medows Rodwell (1861)Public Domain
O John! take the Book with strength;' and we gave him judgment when a boy
Translation · Edward Henry Palmer (1880)Public Domain
Yahya take the writing by strength We gave the judgement a child

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.
