Then when We decreed death for him [Sulaiman (Solomon)], nothing informed them (jinns) of his death except a little worm of the earth, which kept (slowly) gnawing away at his stick, so when he fell down, the jinns saw clearly that if they had known the unseen, they would not have stayed in the humiliating torment.
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。
