How translators rendered it

Translation · 5 editions

These translations render verse 82:9 — 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 →

But you reject the religion
Translation · Talal Itani (2012)CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
Nay, but ye deny the Judgment
Translation · Marmaduke Pickthall (1930)Public Domain
Even so; but ye treat the Judgment as a lie
Translation · John Medows Rodwell (1861)Public Domain
Nay, but ye call the judgment a lie
Translation · Edward Henry Palmer (1880)Public Domain
no indeed rather you call false by the accountability

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.
