"And the sun runs on to a term appointed for it; that is the ordinance of the Mighty, the Knowing. (39) And (as for) the moon, We have ordained for it stages till it becomes again as an old dry palm branch. (40) Neither is it allowable to the sun that it should overtake the moon, nor can the night outstrip the day; and all float on in a sphere." M.H. Shakir’s translation
"Na jua huzunguka kwa kufuata masharti lililopewa; hiyo ni amri ya Mwenyezi, Mwenye kujua vyote. (39) Na (kwa upande wa) mwezi, Tumeuamuria hatua hadi hapo utakapokuwa tena kama tawi kavu na lilillozeeka la mtende. (40) Jua halijaruhusiwa kuupita mwezi wala usiku kutembea haraka kuliko mchana; na vyote vinaelea angani."Tafsiri ya M.H. Shakir.
