30 Above it are nineteen.

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

31 And We have set none but angels as guardians of the Fire.

Thus Allah leads astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none can know the hosts of your Lord but He. And this (Hell) is nothing else than a (warning) reminder to mankind.

Pickthall

31 We have appointed only angels to be wardens of the Fire, and their number have We made to be a stumbling - block for those who disbelieve; that those to whom the Scripture hath been given may have certainty, and that believers may increase in faith; and that those to whom the Scripture hath been given and believers may not doubt; and that those in whose hearts there is disease, and disbelievers, may say: What meaneth Allah by this similitude ? Thus Allah sendeth astray whom He will, and whom He will He guideth. None knoweth the hosts of thy Lord save Him. This is naught else than a Reminder unto mortals.

Transliteration

45 Wakunna nakhoodu maAAa alkhaideena

Pickthall

45 We used to wade (in vain dispute) with (all) waders,

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

46 And we used to belie the Day of Recompense,

46 Wakunna nukaththibu biyawmi alddeeni

Pickthall

46 And we used to deny the Day of Judgment,

Hilali & Muhsin Khan

47 "Until there came to us (the death) that is certain."

Transliteration

47 Hatta atana alyaqeenu

Pickthall

47 Till the Inevitable came unto us.
