How translators rendered it

Translation · 5 editions

These translations render verse 29:4 — 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 →

Or do those who commit sins think they can fool Us? Terrible is their opinion
Translation · Talal Itani (2012)CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
Or do those who do ill-deeds imagine that they can outstrip Us? Evil (for them) is that which they decide
Translation · Marmaduke Pickthall (1930)Public Domain
Think they who work evil that they shall escape Us? Ill do they judge
Translation · John Medows Rodwell (1861)Public Domain
Do those who do evil reckon that they can outstrip us? evil is it that they judge
Translation · Edward Henry Palmer (1880)Public Domain
or he reckoned those whom they do the bad deeds that they precede he was evil what they judge

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.
