She desired him, and he desired her, had he not seen the proof of his Lord. It was thus that We diverted evil and indecency away from him. He was one of Our loyal servants.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

She verily desired him, and he would have desired her if it had not been that he saw the argument of his Lord. Thus it was, that We might ward off from him evil and lewdness. Lo! he was of Our chosen slaves.

Hanım cidden ona niyyeti kurmuştu, o da ona kurmuş gitmişti amma rabbının bürhanını görmese idi, ondan fenalığı ve fuhşu bertaraf edelim için öyle oldu, hakıkat o bizim ıhlâsa mazhar edilmiş has kullarımızdandır

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Maar zij hield bij hem aan, en hij had dezelfde bedoeling; doch hij ontving eene duidelijke waarschuwing van zijnen Heer. Zoo wendden wij het kwaad en de onreinheid van hem af, daar hij een onzer oprechte dienaren was.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Ma essa lo pregò, ed era sul punto di cedere, quando un avviso di Dio venne a distorlo. Noi glielo abbiamo dato per distorlo dal male, e da un’azione disonorante, poichè era uno dei nostri servi sinceri.
