And if Allah were to impose blame on the people for their wrongdoing, He would not have left upon the earth any creature, but He defers them for a specified term. And when their term has come, they will not remain behind an hour, nor will they precede [it].

Were Allah to take mankind to task for their wrongdoing, He would not leave any living being upon it. But He respites them until a specified time; so when their time comes they shall not defer it by a single hour nor shall they advance it.

If Allah were to take mankind to task for their wrong-doing, he would not leave hereon a living creature, but He reprieveth them to an appointed term, and when their term cometh they cannot put (it) off an hour nor (yet) advance (it).

If Allah were to punish men for their wrong-doing, He would not leave, on the (earth), a single living creature: but He gives them respite for a stated Term: When their Term expires, they would not be able to delay (the punishment) for a single hour, just as they would not be able to anticipate it (for a single hour).

If God should take men to task for their evildoing, He would not leave on the earth one creature that crawls; but He is deferring them to a term stated; and when their term is come they shall not put it back by a single hour nor put it forward.

و اگر خدا مردم را به سبب ستمشان مؤاخذه کند، هیچ جنبنده ای را [که مستحقّ مؤاخذه است] بر روی زمین باقی نمی گذاشت، ولی آنان را تا مدتی معین مهلت می دهد، پس هنگامی که اجلشان سرآید، نه ساعتی پس می مانند و نه ساعتی پیش می افتند.

و اگر خداوند مردم را به [سزای‌] ستمشان مؤاخذه می‌کرد، جنبنده‌ای بر روی زمین باقی نمی‌گذاشت، لیکن [کیفر] آنان را تا وقتی معین بازپس می‌اندازد، و چون اجلشان فرا رسد، ساعتی آن را پس و پیش نمی‌توانند افکنند.

Allah insanları haksızlıklarından ötürü yakalayacak olsaydı, yeryüzünde canlı bırakmazdı. Fakat onları belirli bir süreye kadar erteler. Süreleri dolunca onu ne bir saat geciktirebilirler ne de öne alabilirler.

Jikalau Allah menghukum manusia karena kezalimannya, niscaya tidak akan ditinggalkan-Nya di muka bumi sesuatupun dari makhluk yang melata, tetapi Allah menangguhkan mereka sampai kepada waktu yang ditentukan. Maka apabila telah tiba waktunya (yang ditentukan) bagi mereka, tidaklah mereka dapat mengundurkannya barang sesaatpun dan tidak (pula) mendahulukannya.

اگر خدا لوگوں سے ان کے ظلم کا مواخذہ کرنے لگتا تو روئے زمین پر ایک رینگنے والے کو بھی نہ چھوڑتا لیکن وہ سب کو ایک معین مدّت تک کے لئے ڈھیل دیتا ہے اس کے بعد جب وقت آجائے گا تو پھر نہ ایک ساعت کی تاخیر ہوگی اور نہ تقدیم

যদি আল্লাহ লোকদেরকে তাদের অন্যায় কাজের কারণে পাকড়াও করতেন, তবে ভুপৃষ্ঠে চলমান কোন কিছুকেই ছাড়তেন না। কিন্তু তিনি প্রতিশ্রুতি সময় পর্যন্ত তাদেরকে অবকাশ দেন। অতঃপর নির্ধারিত সময়ে যখন তাদের মৃত্যু এসে যাবে, তখন এক মুহুর্তও বিলম্বিত কিংবা তরাম্বিত করতে পারবে না।
