Then, when We decreed (Solomon's) death, nothing showed them his death except a little worm of the earth, which kept (slowly) gnawing away at his staff: so when he fell down, the Jinns saw plainly that if they had known the unseen, they would not have tarried in the humiliating Penalty (of their Task).
われがかれ（スライマーン）に死の断を下した時も，かれらにその死を知らせたのは，一匹の地の虫がかれの杖を蝕ばんだことであった。それでかれが倒れると，ジンたちは（始めて）悟った。もしも幽玄界のことを知っていたならば，恥辱の懲罰に服している要もなかったのに。
