P:  The likeness of those who disbelieve (in relation to the messenger) is as the likeness of one who calleth unto that which heareth naught except a shout and cry.  Deaf, dumb, blind, therefore they have no sense.

S:  And the parable of those who disbelieve is as the parable of one who calls out to that which hears no more than a call and a cry; deaf, dumb (and) blind, so they do not understand.

002.172 Y:  O ye who believe!  Eat of the good things that We have provided for you, and be grateful to Allah, if it is Him ye worship.

P:  O ye who believe!  Eat of the good things wherewith We have provided you, and render thanks to Allah if it is (indeed) He Whom ye worship.

S:  O you who believe! eat of the good things that We have provided you with, and give thanks to Allah if Him it is that you serve.

002.173 Y:  He hath only forbidden you dead meat, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and that on which any other name hath been invoked besides that of Allah.  But if one is forced by necessity, without wilful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits,- then is he guiltless.  For Allah is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful.

P:  He hath forbidden you only carrion, and blood, and swineflesh, and that which hath been immolated to (the name of) any other than Allah.  But he who is driven by necessity, neither craving nor transgressing, it is no sin for him.  Lo!  Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

S:  He has only forbidden you what dies of itself, and blood, and flesh of swine, and that over which any other (name) than (that of) Allah has been invoked; but whoever is driven to necessity, not desiring, nor exceeding the limit, no sin shall be upon him; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

002.174 Y:  Those who conceal Allah’s revelations in the Book, and purchase for them a miserable profit,- they swallow into themselves naught but Fire; Allah will not address them on the Day of Resurrection.  Nor purify them:  Grievous will be their penalty.

P:  Lo! those who hide aught of the Scripture which Allah hath revealed and purchase a small gain therewith, they eat into their bellies nothing else than fire.  Allah will not speak to them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He make them grow.  Theirs will be a painful doom.

S:  Surely those who conceal any part of the Book that Allah has revealed and take for it a small price, they eat nothing but fire into their bellies, and Allah will not speak to them on the day of resurrection, nor will He purify them, and they shall have a painful chastisement.

002.175 Y:  They are the ones who buy Error in place of Guidance and Torment in place of Forgiveness.  Ah! what boldness (They show) for the Fire!

P:  Those are they who purchase error at the price of guidance, and torment at the price of pardon.  How constant are they in their strife to reach the Fire!

S:  These are they who buy error for the right direction and chastisement for forgiveness; how bold they are to encounter fire.
