Azerice — Alihan Musayev

O, göydən su endirir və vadilər ölçülərinə uyğun öz məcralarından daşaraq sel olub axır. Sel də üzə çıxmış bir köpüyü götürüb aparır. Bəzək şeyləri və ya başqa əşyalar düzəltmək üçün insanların odda qızdırıb əritdikləri şeylərin üstündə də buna bənzər bir köpük olur. Allah haqqa və batilə belə misallar çəkir. Köpük yox olub gedir, insanlara fayda verən şeylər isə yerində qalır. Budur Allahın çəkdiyi misallar!

Azerice — V. Memmedeliyev ve Ziya Bünyadov

Allah göydən bir yağmur endirdi, vadilər öz tutumlarına görə onunla dolub daşdı. (Sudan əmələ gələn) sel, üstünə çıxan bir köpünü alıb apardı. (Haqq din olan islam insanlara, torpağa həyat verən suya, müşriklərin eʼtiqadı isə boş köpüyə bənzər). Bəzək şeyləri və ya əşya (qab-qacaq) düzəltmək məqsədilə insanların od üzərində qızdırıb əritdikləri (qızıl, gümüş və s. filizlərin) üstündə də buna bənzər bir köpük vardır. Allah haqq ilə batili (sizdən ötrü) ayırd etmək üçün belə misallar çəkir. Köpük heç bir şey olmadığı üçün uçub gedər. İnsanlara fayda verən bir şey isə yer üzündə qalar. Allah belə misallar çəkir!

Almanca — Der Edle Quran

Er läßt vom Himmel Wasser herabkommen, und dann fließen Täler entsprechend ihrem Maß, daraufhin trägt die Flut aufschwellenden Schaum. Und aus dem, worüber man das Feuer anzündet, im Trachten (da)nach(,) Schmuck oder Gerät (anzufertigen, entsteht) ein ähnlicher Schaum. So prägt Allah (im Gleichnis) das Wahre und das Falsche. Was nun den Schaum angeht, so vergeht er nutzlos. Was aber den Menschen nützt, das bleibt in der Erde. So prägt Allah die Gleichnisse.

Almanca — M. A. Rassoul

Er sendet Wasser vom Himmel herab, so daß die Täler nach ihrem Maß durchströmt werden, und die Flut trägt Schaum auf der Oberfläche. Und ein ähnlicher Schaum ist in dem, was sie im Feuer aus Verlangen nach Schmuck und Gerät erhitzen. So verdeutlicht Allah Wahrheit und Falschheit. Der Schaum aber, der vergeht wie die Blasen; das aber, was den Menschen nützt, bleibt auf der Erde zurück. Und so prägt Allah die Gleichnisse.

Almanca — Muhammad Zaidan

ER ließ vom Himmel Wasser fallen, dann floß es durch Täler ihrer Größe nach, dann trug das strömende Wasser Schaum auf der Oberfläche. Auch von dem, was sie im Feuer schmelzen zur Herstellung von Schmuck und Utensilien, gibt es ihm ähnlichen Schaum. Solcherart prägt ALLAH Gleichnisse von der Wahrheit und von dem für nichtig Erklärten. Also hinsichtlich des Schaums, so wird er beiseite geworfen, doch hinsichtlich dessen, das den Menschen nützt, so verbleibt es in der Erde. Solcherart prägt ALLAH die Gleichnisse.

Abdel Khalek Himmat

He sends the rain-water from the floor of the vault of heaven and there it is conveyed along channels of various capacities in due measure. Where the torrent flows, it drives before it unworthy matter and impurities floating on the surface gathering into a heap of froth resembling aptly the foamy admixture and impurities mounting to the surface of the heated ores for the separation of precious metals used for ornaments and other uses. Thus does Allah give examples with allegorical representations of truth and falsehood. As to the froth and the scum, they are rejected and disappear, whereas what is profitable to the people remains behind on earth. Thus does Allah describe a subject under the guise of some other subject of aptly suggestive resemblance.

Abdul Haleem

He sends water from the sky that fills riverbeds to overflowing, each according to its measure. The stream carries on its surface a growing layer of froth, like the froth that appears when people melt metals in the fire to make ornaments and tools: in this way God illustrates truth and falsehood- the froth disappears, but what is of benefit to man stays behind- this is how God makes illustrations.

Abdullah Yusuf Ali

He sends down water from the skies, and the channels flow, each according to its measure: But the torrent bears away to foam that mounts up to the surface. Even so, from that (ore) which they heat in the fire, to make ornaments or utensils therewith, there is a scum likewise. Thus doth Allah (by parables) show forth Truth and Vanity. For the scum disappears like forth cast out; while that which is for the good of mankind remains on the earth. Thus doth Allah set forth parables.

Abul A'la Maududi

Aisha Bewley

He sends down water from the sky and river-beds fill up and flow according to their size, and the floodwater carries with it an increasing layer of scum; a similar kind of scum comes from what you heat up in the fire, when you desire to make jewellery or other things. That is how Allah depicts the true and the false. As for the scum, it is quickly swept away. But as for that which is of use to people, it remains behind in the ground. That is a metaphor which Allah has made

Al-Hilali & Khan

He sends down water (rain) from the sky, and the valleys flow according to their measure, but the flood bears away the foam that mounts up to the surface - and (also) from that (ore) which they heat in the fire in order to make ornaments or utensils, rises a foam like unto it, thus does Allâh (by parables) show forth truth and falsehood[1]. Then, as for the foam it passes away as scum upon the banks, while that which is for the good of mankind remains in the earth. Thus Allâh sets forth parables (for the truth and falsehood, i.e. Belief and disbelief).

Ali Quli Qarai

He sends down water from the sky whereat the valleys are flooded to [the extent of] their capacity, and the flood carries along a swelling scum. And from what they smelt in the fire for the purpose of [making] ornaments or wares, [there arises] a similar scum. That is how Allah compares the truth and falsehood. As for the scum, it leaves as dross, and that which profits the people remains in the earth. That is how Allah draws comparisons.

Amatul Rahman Omar

He sends down some water from the clouds so that the water courses flow up to their capacity, and the torrent carries (on its surface) swelling foam. And out of that (metal) which the people heat in the fire seeking to make ornaments and other articles a similar foam rises to (the surface of) it. In this way does Allâh illustrate truth and falsehood. As for the foam it goes away as (does all) dross, but as to that which does good to mankind it stays in the earth. That is how Allâh sets forth excellent description of things.

Arthur John Arberry

He sends down out of heaven water, and the wadis flow each in its measure, and the torrent carries a swelling scum; and out of that over which they kindle fire, being desirous of ornament or ware, out of that rises a scum the like of it. So God strikes both the true and the false. As for the scum, it vanishes as jetsam, and what profits men abides in the earth. Even so God strikes His similitudes.

Bijan Moeinian

God is the One Who pours down water from the sky causing the valleys to overflow. The river then produces lots of foam as the water runs fast. The metals, melted to make ornaments or utensils, too, produces lots of scum. By these examples the Lord wants to explain how the truth (like the water or the melted metal) which is useful for the people stays and how the falsehood (the foam or the scum which is good for nothing) disappears.

E. Henry Palmer

He sends down from the sky water, and the water-courses flow according to their bulk, and the torrent bears along the floating scum: and from what they set fire to, craving ornaments or utensils, comes a scum like that;- thus does God hit the truth and the falsehood;- and as for the scum it is thrown off, and as for what profits man it stays on the earth. Thus does God strike out parables!

Edip-Layth

He sent down water from the sky, so valleys flowed according to their capacity, and the flood produces foam. From what they burn to smelt jewelry or goods similar foam is produced. It is in such a manner that God strikes the falsehood with the truth. As for the foam, it passes away; as for what benefits the people, it remains in the earth. It is such that God cites the examples.

George Sale

He causeth water to descend from heaven, and the brooks flow according to their respective measure, and the floods bear the floating froth: And from the metals which they melt in the fire, seeking to cast ornaments or vessels for use, there ariseth a scum like unto it: Thus God setteth forth truth and vanity. But the scum is thrown off, and that which is useful to mankind remaineth on the earth. Thus doth God put forth parables.

Hamid S. Aziz

Say, "Who is Lord (and Sustainer) of the heavens and the earth?" Say, "Allah" Say, "Do ye, then, take beside Allah patrons who have no control over benefit or harm to themselves?" Say, "Shall the blind and the seeing be held equal? Or shall the darkness and the light be held equal? Or have they made partners with Allah who can create as He creates, so that the creations seem similar to them?" Say, "Allah is the creator of all things, and He is the One, the Almighty. "

Mahmoud Ghali

He sends down from the heaven water so that valleys flow, each to its determined (course), so that the flood carries away (on its surface) a swelling scum. And from that on which they kindle fire (i.e., or) seeking (to make) ornaments or belongings, out of that there is a scum like it. Thus Allah strikes the Truth and the untruth. So, as for the scum, then it goes away as jetsam (i.e., vanishes as useless) and as for whatever profits mankind, then it stays in the earth. Thus Allah strikes the similitudes.

Marmaduke Pickthall

He sendeth down water from the sky, so that valleys flow according to their measure, and the flood beareth (on its surface) swelling foam - from that which they smelt in the fire in order to make ornaments and tools riseth a foam like unto it - thus Allah coineth (the similitude of) the true and the false. Then, as for the foam, it passeth away as scum upon the banks, while, as for that which is of use to mankind, it remaineth in the earth. Thus Allah coineth the similitudes.

Mohamed Ahmed - Samira

He sends down water from the skies, which flows in channels according to their capacity, with the scum borne on the surface of the torrent, as rises the scum when metals are heated on the fire for making ornaments and household utensils. This is how God determines truth and falsehood. The scum disappears like the foam on the bank, and that which is useful to man remains on the earth. That is how God sets forth precepts of wisdom.

Muhammad Asad

[Whenever] He sends down water from the sky, and [once-dry] river-beds are running high according to their measure, the stream carries scum on its surface; and, likewise, from that [metal] which they smelt in the fire in order to make ornaments or utensils, [there rises] scum. In this way does God set forth the parable of truth and falsehood: for, as far as the scum is concerned, it passes away as [does all] dross; but that which is of benefit to man abides on earth. In this way does God set forth the parables

Mustafa Khattab

He sends down rain from the sky, causing the valleys to flow, each according to its capacity. The currents then carry along rising foam, similar to the slag produced from metal that people melt in the fire for ornaments or tools. This is how Allah compares truth to falsehood. The ˹worthless˺ scum is then cast away, but what benefits people remains on the earth. This is how Allah sets forth parables.

Progressive Muslims

He sent down water from the sky, so valleys flowed according to their capacity, and the flood produces foam. And from what they burn to smelt jewellery or goods is produced a similar foam. It is in such a manor that God strikes the falsehood with the truth. As for the foam, it passes away, and as for what benefits mankind, it remains in the Earth. It is such that God cites the examples.

Sahih International

He sends down from the sky, rain, and valleys flow according to their capacity, and the torrent carries a rising foam. And from that [ore] which they heat in the fire, desiring adornments and utensils, is a foam like it. Thus Allah presents [the example of] truth and falsehood. As for the foam, it vanishes, [being] cast off; but as for that which benefits the people, it remains on the earth. Thus does Allah present examples.

Sam Gerrans

He sends down from the sky water, and the valleys flow according to their measure, then the flood carries a swelling froth; and from what they burn in the fire seeking ornaments or tools there is a froth like it. Thus does God present truth and vanity: as for the froth, it departs as dross; and as for what is of benefit to men, it remains in the earth. Thus does God strike similitudes.

Shabbir Ahmed

He sends down water from the height causing the riverbeds to flow according to their measure, and the flood bears on its surface swelling foam. And, when they use fire to refine metals for their jewelry or equipment, foam is produced like it. In this way Allah is citing for you the example of the Truth and the Falsehood. For, as far as the foam is concerned, it passes away as scum upon the banks. While that which is of benefit to mankind, abides on earth. (The real existence on earth is of the person or the system that benefits humanity). This is how Allah uses analogies for you to understand.

Syed Vickar Ahamed

He sends down water (rain) from the sky, and the channels flow (with water), each by its measure: But the flood carries away (to clean) the foam that comes up to the surface. And like this, from the (ore) which they heat (to melt) in the fire, to make ornaments or pots (and pans) from it, also there is a scum (or foam). Thus Allah clearly shows forth truth and vanity for the scum disappears when it is thrown out; Whereas what remains is for the good of mankind on the earth. Thus Allah does set forth examples (parables).

Taqi Usmani

He sent down water from the heavens, so the canals flowed according to their capacity, and the flood carried bulging scum. And a similar scum comes up from what they melt in the fire to obtain ornaments or other objects. This is how Allah depicts the truth and the untruth. As for the scum, it goes to be thrown away, while that which benefits people remains on the earth. This is how Allah brings out the parables.

The Monotheist Group

He sends down water from the sky, so valleys flow according to their capacity, and the flood produces foam. And from what they burn to smelt jewelry or goods is produced a similar foam. It is in such a manner that God strikes the falsehood with the truth. As for the foam, it passes away, and as for what benefits the people, it remains in the earth. It is such that God puts forth the examples.

Fransızca — Muhammad Hamidullah

Il a fait descendre une eau du ciel à laquelle des vallées servent de lit, selon leur grandeur. Le flot débordé a charrié une écume flottante; et semblable à celle-ci est (lʹ) écume provenant de ce quʹon porte à fusion, dans le feu pour (fabriquer) des bijoux et des ustensiles. Ainsi Allah représente en parabole la Vérité et le Faux: lʹécume (du torrent et du métal fondu) sʹen va, au rebut, tandis que (lʹeau et les objets) utiles aux Hommes demeurent sur la terre. Ainsi Allah propose des paraboles.

Kürtçe Meal

(Meseleya heq û pûçîyê, meseleya hebandina Xwedê û hebandina pûtan wekî vê meseleyê ye;) Xwedê ji ewran baranek barand, vêca best û newal bi qasî tijîbûna xwe herikîn, êdî lehî çû û kefeke bilind digel xwe rakir û bir.

Hollandaca — Fred Leemhuis

Hij laat uit de hemel water neerdalen zodat de beddingen naar hun omvang volstromen en de stroom er dan schuim bovenop heeft. Uit wat men in het vuur verhit om sieraden of nuttige dingen te vervaardigen komt een overeenkomstig schuim. Zo laat God dat op de waarheid en de onzin slaan. Wat het schuim betreft, dat gaat waardeloos verloren. Maar wat voor de mens nut heeft dat blijft in de aarde. Zo trekt God vergelijkingen.

Hollandaca — Salomo Keyzer

Hij doet water van den hemel nederdalen, en de vloeden stroomen, overeenkomstig hunne afmetingen; de stroom voert het schuim mede dat op de oppervlakte drijft, en uit de metalen, die de menschen op het vuur smelten, om daaruit versierselen of vaatwerk te vormen, rijst schuim op, dat daaraan gelijk is. Zoo maakt God waarheid en ijdelheid bekend. Maar het schuim wordt weggenomen; en datgene wat den menschen nuttig is, blijft op de aarde. Zoo brengt God gelijkenissen voort.

Hollandaca — Siregar

Hij (Allah) deed water uit de hemel neerdalen, dat daarna in beddingen naar hun omvang stroomt en de stroom dragt rijzend schuim mee. En uit wat zij in het vuur verhitten om sieraden of gebruiksvoorwerpen (te maken) komt soortgelijk schuim. Zo geeft Allah een gelijkenis over de Waarheid en de valsheid. Wat het schuim betreft, het verdwijnt als iets nutteloos, en wat betreft hetgeen de mensen baat, dat blijft op de aarde. Zo geeft Allah de gelijkenissen.

Rusça — Ebu Adel

(Аллах Всевышний приводит пример для сравнения истины и лжи.) Он низвел с неба [с облаков] воду [дождь] – и долины наполнились (водой) по величинам их [каждая долина по своей величине]. И унес (этот) поток пену вздымавшуюся (на поверхности). {В этом примере вода – это истина, пена – это ложь, а долины – это души людей} И из того [золота, серебра, меди], что они [люди] раскаливают в огне (когда плавят), желая (сделать) украшения и средства (труда) [утварь], (тоже появляется) пена вроде этого. {В этом примере металл – это истина, а пена – это ложь.} Так приводит Аллах истину и ложь (в виде примеров). И что касается пены, то она будет выброшена, а то, что полезно людям [вода и металл], остается на земле. Так Аллах приводит примеры (людям).

Rusça — Osmanov

Он низверг с неба воду, и в [сухих] руслах потекли [потоки] согласно размерам их. И [каждый] поток несет на поверхности пену. Подобная же пена [появляется] на поверхности металлов, которые [люди] плавят на огне для [изготовления] украшений или предметов утвари. Так Аллах показывает на примере, [где] истина и [где] ложь: пена рассыплется во прах, а то, что приносит людям пользу, пребудет на земле. Так приводит Аллах примеры.

İsveççe — Knut Bernström

Han låter regn falla, som (fyller) uttorkade flodbäddar till brädden, och det skummande vattnet för upp bottenslammet till ytan; på samma sätt (utfälls) slagg ur (metallen) som de smälter över eld för att av den tillverka prydnads- eller nyttoföremål. Så beskriver Gud sanningen och lögnen: slammet och slaggen stöts bort och försvinner, men det som är till människornas nytta blir kvar på jorden. Så framställer Gud (Sina) liknelser.
