22 (Some) say: (They are) three, the fourth of them being their dog; and (others) say: Five, the sixth of them being their dog, making conjectures at what is unknown; and (others yet) say: Seven, and the eighth of them is their dog. Say: My Lord best knows their number, none knows them but a few; therefore contend not in the matter of them but with an outward contention, and do not question concerning them any of them.
22 Watasema: Walikuwa watatu, wa nne wao ni mbwa wao. Na wanasema: Walikuwa watano, wa sita wao ni mbwa wao. Wanavurumisha ovyo. Na wanasema: Walikuwa saba, na wa nane wao ni mbwa wao. Sema: Mola wangu Mlezi ndiye anaye jua sawa sawa hisabu yao. Hawawajui ila wachache tu. Basi usibishane juu yao ila kwa mabishano ya juu juu tu hivi. Wala usiulize khabari zao kwa yeyote yule.
