How translators rendered it

Translation · 5 editions

These translations render verse 8:38 — 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 →

Say to those who disbelieve: if they desist, their past will be forgiven. But if they persist—the practice of the ancients has passed away
Translation · Talal Itani (2012)CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
Tell those who disbelieve that if they cease (from persecution of believers) that which is past will be forgiven them; but if they return (thereto) then the example of the men of old hath already gone (before them, for a warning)
Translation · Marmaduke Pickthall (1930)Public Domain
SAY to the infidels: If they desist from their unbelief, what is now past shall be forgiven them; but if they return to it, they have already before them the doom of the ancients
Translation · John Medows Rodwell (1861)Public Domain
Say to those who misbelieve, if they desist they will be forgiven what is past; but if they return,- the course of those of former days has passed away
Translation · Edward Henry Palmer (1880)Public Domain
say for those who they rejected if they desist is forgiven for them what already he was past and if they revert then indeed he passed away practice 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.
