In context
Quranic text · Tanzil Uthmani 1.1How translators rendered it
Translation · 5 editionsThese translations render verse 7:166 — 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 →
Then, when they rebelled against the commands to refrain, We said to them, “Be despicable apes.”So when they took pride in that which they had been forbidden, We said unto them: Be ye apes despised and loathedBut when they proudly persisted in that which was forbidden, we said to them, "Become scouted apesbut when they rebelled against what they were forbidden, we said to them, 'Become ye apes, despised and spurnedso when they scorned from what was prohibited from it We said for them be apes despisedsGenerated 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.
