How translators rendered it

Translation · 5 editions

These translations render verse 27:68 — 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 →

We were promised that before, we and our ancestors—these are nothing but legends of the ancients.”
Translation · Talal Itani (2012)CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
We were promised this, forsooth, we and our fathers. (All) this is naught but fables of the men of old
Translation · Marmaduke Pickthall (1930)Public Domain
Of old have we been promised this, we and our sires of old it is but fables of the ancients
Translation · John Medows Rodwell (1861)Public Domain
We were promised this, we and our fathers before us, this is nothing but old folks' tales
Translation · Edward Henry Palmer (1880)Public Domain
indeed was promised this we and our fathers from before if this except tales of the firsts

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.
