In context
Quranic text · Tanzil Uthmani 1.1How translators rendered it
Translation · 5 editionsThese translations render verse 38:3 — 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 →
How many generations have We destroyed before them? They cried out when it was too late to escapeHow many a generation We destroyed before them, and they cried out when it was no longer the time for escapeHow many generations have we destroyed before them! And they cried for mercy but no time was it of escapeHow many a generation have we destroyed before them, and they cried out, but it was no time to escapehow many We destroyed from their before from generation they called out and he was no longer the time a time of escapeGenerated 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.
