8 He shall be reckoned with by an easy reckoning,

8 He surely will receive an easy reckoning,

9 And will return unto his folk in joy.

9 And he shall go back to his people joyful.

16 Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,

16 But nay! I swear by the sunset redness,

16 So I swear by the afterglow of sunset;

17 And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,

17 And the night and that which it drives on,

17 And by the night and whatever it gathers in its darkness,

18 And by the moon when she is at the full,

18 And the moon when it grows full,

18 And by the moon when it is at the full.

20 What aileth them, then, that they believe not

20 But what is the matter with them that they do not believe,

20 What is the matter with them, that they believe not?

21 And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah) ?

21 And when the Quran is recited to them they do not make obeisance?

21 And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they fall not prostrate.

22 Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny;

22 Nay! those who disbelieve give the lie to the truth.

22 Nay, those who disbelieve belie (Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and whatever he brought, i.e. this Qur'an and Islamic Monotheism, etc.).

23 And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.

23 And Allah knows best what they hide,

23 And Allah knows best what they gather (of good and bad deeds),

24 So give them tidings of a painful doom,

24 So announce to them a painful punishment~

24 So announce to them a painful torment.
