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 →

Were it not for a predetermined decree from God, an awful punishment would have afflicted you for what you have taken
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. It is under review and incomplete: only verses whose every word has been decided appear at all. Words marked as judgement rest on weaker evidence than the rest and are flagged. No tafsir, hadith or existing translation was consulted.
