In context
Quranic text · Tanzil Uthmani 1.1How translators rendered it
Translation · 5 editionsThese translations render verse 19:20 — 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 →
She said, “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, and I was never unchaste?”She said: How can I have a son when no mortal hath touched me, neither have I been unchasteShe said: "How shall I have a son, when man hath never touched me? and I am not unchasteSaid she, 'How can I have a boy when no man has touched me, and when I am no harlothe said in what way he is for me boy not he touches me human being not I be unchasteGenerated 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.
