| Transliteration | WajaAAaloo lahu min AAibadihi juz-an inna al-insana lakafoorun mubeenun |
| Literal | And they made/put for Him from His worshippers/slaves a part/portion (partner), that truly the human/mankind (is a) a clear/evident (insisting) disbeliever (E). |

| Khalifa | They even assigned for Him a share from His own creation! Surely, the human being is profoundly unappreciative. |
| Hilali/Khan | Yet they assign to some of His slaves a share with Him (by pretending that He has children, and considering them as equals or co-partners in worship with Him). Verily, man is indeed a manifest ingrate! |

| JM Rodwell | Yet do they assign to him some of his own servants for offspring! Verily man is an open ingrate! |
| Asad | AND YET, [I.e., despite the fact that most people readily admit that God has created all that exists (verse 9 above), some of them tend to forget His uniqueness.] they attribute to Him offspring from among some of the beings created by Him! [Lit., "attribute to Him a part out of [some of] His creatures (ibad)": cf. 6:100 and the corresponding notes. The noun juz' (lit., "part") evidently denotes here "a part of Himself", as implied in the concept of "offspring"; hence my rendering. If, on the other hand, juz is understood in its literal sense, the above sentence could have (as Razi assumes) a more general meaning, namely, "they attribute a part of His divinity to some of the beings created by Him". However, in view of the sequence, which clearly refers to the blasphemous attribution of "offspring" to God, my rendering seems to be preferable.] Verily, most obviously bereft of all gratitude is man! |
