|  وقالوا أآلهتنا خير أم هو ما ضربوه لك إلا جدلا بل هم قوم خصمون
وَقَالُوا أَآلِهَتُنَا خَيْرٌ أَمْ هُوَ مَا ضَرَبُوهُ لَكَ إِلَّا جَدَلًا بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ خَصِمُونَ |
| Words | |وقالوا - And they said,| أآلهتنا - "Are our gods| خير - better| أم - or| هو - he?"| ما - Not| ضربوه - they present it| لك - to you| إلا - except| جدلا - (for) argument.| بل - Nay,| هم - they| قوم - (are) a people| خصمون - argumentative.| |

| «አማልክቶቻችን ይበልጣሉን ወይስ እርሱ?» አሉም፡፡ ለክርክርም እንጅ ላንተ እርሱን ምሳሌ አላደረጉትም፡፡ በእውነት እነርሱ ክርክረ ብርቱ ሕዝቦች ናቸው፡፡ |
| آل الجلالين | { وقالوا أألهتنا خير أم هو } أي عيسى فنرضى أن تكون آلهتنا معه { ما ضربوه } أي المثل { لك إلا جدلا } خصومة بالباطل لعلمهم أن ما لغير العاقل فلا يتناول عيسى عليه السلام { بل هم قوم خصمون } شديدو الخصومة . |

| Asad | and say, "Which is better - our deities or he?" [Objecting to the Quranic condemnation of their idolatrous worship of angels - whom they describe here as "our deities" - the pagan Quraysh pointed to the parallel Christian worship of Jesus as "the son of God", and even as "God incarnate", and argued more or less thus: "The Quran states that Jesus was purely human - and yet the Christians, whom the same Quran describes as `followers of earlier revelation' (ahl al-kitab), consider him divine. Hence, are we not rather justified in our worshipping angels, who are certainly superior to a mere human being?" The fallacy inherent in this "argument" is disposed of in the sequence.] [But] it is only in the spirit of dispute that they put this comparison before thee: yea, they are contentious folk! [Since the Quran condemns explicitly, and in many places, the deification of Jesus by the Christians, this unwarranted deification cannot be used as an argument in favour of the pagan worship of angels and, thus, against the Quran: in the words of Zamakhshari, such an argument amounts to "applying a false analogy to a false proposition" (qiyas batil bi-batil).] |

| QXP Shabbir Ahemd** | And they say, "Which is better, our gods or he?" They raise this objection as a vain argument. Nay! But they are a contentious folk. |
