Shakir: And He Who sends down water from the cloud according to a measure, then We raise to life thereby a dead country, even thus shall you be brought forth;
Pickthall: And Who sendeth down water from the sky in (due) measure, and We revive a dead land therewith. Even so will ye be brought forth;

Qarib: so that you can sit upon their backs and then remember the Favors of your Lord and say: 'Exaltations to Him who has subjected these to us otherwise, we ourselves were not capable of it,
Sarwar: so that perhaps when you ride them, you will recall the bounties of your Lord and when you establish your control over it you would say, "Glory belongs to Him who has made it subservient to us when we would not have been able to do so ourselves.

Qarib: Yet they assign to Him some of His own (created) worshipers! Clearly, the human is unthankful.

Shakir: What! that which is made in ornaments and which in contention is unable to make plain speech!
Pickthall: (Liken they then to Allah) that which is bred up in outward show, and in dispute cannot make itself plain?
Yusufali: Is then one brought up among trinkets, and unable to give a clear account in a dispute (to be associated with Allah)?

Shakir: And they say: If the Beneficent Allah had pleased, we should never have worshipped them. They have no knowledge of this; they only lie
Pickthall: And they say: If the Beneficent One had (so) willed, we should not have worshipped them. They have no knowledge whatsoever of that. They do but guess.
Yusufali: ("Ah!") they say, "If it had been the will of (Allah) Most Gracious, we should not have worshipped such (deities)!" Of that they have no knowledge! they do nothing but lie!
