| Pickthall | They said: Your evil augury be with you! Is it because ye are reminded (of the truth)? Nay, but ye are froward folk! |
| Sahih | They said, "Your omen is with yourselves. Is it because you were reminded? Rather, you are a transgressing people." |
| Yusuf Ali | They said: "Your evil omens are with yourselves: (deem ye this an evil omen). If ye are admonished? Nay, but ye are a people transgressing all bounds!" |
