Arberry | It behoves not the sun to overtake the moon, neither does the night outstrip the day, each swimming in a sky. |
Maududi | Neither does it lie in the sun's power to overtake the moon nor can the night outstrip the day. All glide along, each in its own orbit. |
Pickthall | It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor doth the night outstrip the day. They float each in an orbit. |
Sahih | It is not allowable for the sun to reach the moon, nor does the night overtake the day, but each, in an orbit, is swimming. |
Yusuf Ali | It is not permitted to the Sun to catch up the Moon, nor can the Night outstrip the Day: Each (just) swims along in (its own) orbit (according to Law). |
