How translators rendered it

Translation · 5 editions

These translations render verse 75:2 — 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 →

And I swear by the blaming soul

Nay, I swear by the accusing soul (that this Scripture is true)
Translation · Marmaduke Pickthall (1930)Public Domain
Or that I swear by the self-accusing soul
Translation · John Medows Rodwell (1861)Public Domain
Nor need I swear by the self-accusing soul
Translation · Edward Henry Palmer (1880)Public Domain
and not I swear by the self the self-reproaching

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.
