How translators rendered it

Translation · 5 editions

These translations render verse 8:68 — 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 →

Translation · Talal Itani (2012)CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
Had it not been for an ordinance of Allah which had gone before, an awful doom had come upon you on account of what ye took
Translation · Marmaduke Pickthall (1930)Public Domain
Had there not been a previous ordinance from God, a severe chastisement had befallen you, for the ransom which ye took
Translation · John Medows Rodwell (1861)Public Domain
Were it not for a book from God that had gone before, there would have touched you, for that which ye took, a mighty punishment
Translation · Edward Henry Palmer (1880)Public Domain
why not writing from Allah he preceded he touched you in what you took punishment great

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.
