He sendeth down water from the sky, so that valleys flow according to their measure, and the flood beareth (on its surface) swelling foam - from that which they smelt in the fire in order to make ornaments and tools riseth a foam like unto it - thus Allah coineth (the similitude of) the true and the false. Then, as for the foam, it passeth away as scum upon the banks, while, as for that which is of use to mankind, it remaineth in the earth. Thus Allah coineth the similitudes.
かれが天から雨を降らせられれば，その量に応じて谷を流れ，奔流は浮ぶ泡を乗せて運び去る。また装飾品や道具を造るために（金属）を火にかけても，それと同じ(泡?)（が出来る）。このようにアッラーは，真実と虚偽とを提示なされる。(泡?)は塵のように消え去る。だが人類を益するものは，地上に残る。アッラーはこのように，種々の譬えで説き明かされる。
