Nay, We hurl the Truth against falsehood, and it knocks out its brain, and behold, falsehood doth perish! Ah! woe be to you for the (false) things ye ascribe (to Us).

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

No! We hurl the truth against falsehood, and truth obliterates it- see how falsehood vanishes away! Woe to you [people] for the way you describe God!

M.A.S. Abdel Haleemall-rights-reserved

Nay, but We hurl the true against the false, and it doth break its head and lo! it vanisheth. And yours will be woe for that which ye ascribe (unto Him).

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

Rather, We dash the truth upon falsehood, and it destroys it, and thereupon it departs. And for you is destruction from that which you describe.

Gerçeği batılın başına çarparız ve onun beynini parçalar; böylece batıl ortadan kalkar. Allah'a yakıştırdığınız vasıflardan ötürü yazıklar olsun size!

Diyanet İşleriall-rights-reserved

Hayır, biz hakkı batılın başına çarparız da onun beynini parçalar. Bir de bakarsın (batıl) o anda yok olup gitmiştir. Allah'a yakıştırdığınız vasıflardan ötürü size yazıklar olsun.

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain

Aksine biz gerçeği batılın üzerine atarız da o, batılın işini bitirir. Bir de bakarsın ki batıl yok olup gitmiştir. (Allah’a) yakıştırdığınız sıfatlardan dolayı yazıklar olsun size!

بل نقذف بالحق ونبيِّنه، فيدحض الباطل، فإذا هو ذاهب مضمحل. ولكم العذاب في الآخرة - أيها المشركون - مِن وَصْفكم ربكم بغير صفته اللائقة به.
