oured messenger;

Y: It is not the word of a poet: little it is ye believe!

P: It is not poet's speech - little is it that ye believe!

S: And it is not the word of a poet; little is it that you believe;

069.042
Y: Nor is it the word of a soothsayer: little admonition it is ye
receive.

P: Nor diviner's speech - little is it that ye remember!

069.043

P: And if he had invented false sayings concerning Us,

S: And if he had fabricated against Us some of the sayings,

069.045
Y: We should certainly seize him by his right hand,

P: We assuredly had taken him by the right hand

S: We would certainly have seized him by the right hand,

069.046

P: And then severed his life-artery,

S: Then We would certainly have cut off his aorta.

069.047
Y: Nor could any of you withhold him (from Our wrath).

P: And not one of you could have held Us off from him.

069.049
Y: And We certainly know that there are amongst you those that reject
(it).

P: And lo! We know that some among you will deny (it).

069.050
Y: But truly (Revelation) is a cause of sorrow for the Unbelievers.

P: And lo! it is indeed an anguish for the disbelievers.

069.051
Y: But verily it is Truth of assured certainty.
