How translators rendered it

Translation · 5 editions

These translations render verse 2:9 — 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 →

They seek to deceive God and those who believe, but they deceive none but themselves, though they are not aware
Translation · Talal Itani (2012)CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
They think to beguile Allah and those who believe, and they beguile none save themselves; but they perceive not
Translation · Marmaduke Pickthall (1930)Public Domain
Fain would they deceive God and those who have believed; but they deceive themselves only, and know it not
Translation · John Medows Rodwell (1861)Public Domain
They would deceive God and those who do believe; but they deceive only themselves and they do not perceive
Translation · Edward Henry Palmer (1880)Public Domain
they seek to deceive Allah and those who they trusted in and not they deceive except their selfs and not they sense

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.
