Do they have any associates (of Allah) who have laid down for them a way pertaining to faith which Allah did not sanction? But for the fact that a decree had already been made, the matter between them would have been decided once and for all. Surely a grievous chastisement awaits the wrong-doers.
それともかれらに（主の）同位者があって，アッラーが御許しになられない宗教をかれらのために立てたのか。決定的（猶予の）御言葉かなかったならば，かれらのことはとっくに裁かれていた。悪い行いの者は本当に痛ましい懲罰を受けるであろう。
