Then when Our enlightening signs came to them, they said, “This is clear magic.”
But when Our signs came to them visibly, they said, 'This is a manifest sorcery';
Then when Our signs came unto them illuminating, they said: this is a magic manifest.
But when Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) came to them, clear to see, they said: \"This is a manifest magic.\"
Yet when Our enlightening signs came to them, they said, “This is obvious witchcraft.”

And they rejected them, while their [inner] selves were convinced thereof, out of injustice and haughtiness. So see how was the end of the corrupters.
Wajahadoo biha waistayqanatha anfusuhum thulman waAAuluwwan faonthur kayfa kana AAaqibatu almufsideena
And they denied them out of malice and pride, though in their hearts they believed that they were true. So see how was the end of evil-doers!
And they denied them – whereas in their hearts they were certain of them – due to injustice and pride; therefore see what sort of fate befell the mischievous!
and they denied them, though their souls acknowledged them, wrongfully and out of pride. Behold, how was the end of the workers of corruption!
And they gainsaid them, out of spite and arrogance, although their souls were convinced thereof. So behold! what hath been the end of the corruptors.
And they belied them (those Ayat) wrongfully and arrogantly, though their ownselves were convinced thereof [i.e. those (Ayat) are from Allah, and Musa (Moses) is the Messenger of Allah in truth, but they disliked to obey Musa (Moses), and hated to believe in his Message of Monotheism]. So see what was the end of the Mufsidun (disbelievers, disobedient to Allah, evil-doers, liars.).
And they rejected them, although their souls were certain of them, out of wickedness and pride. So see how the outcome was for the mischief-makers.
They denied those Signs out of iniquity and arrogance although their hearts were convinced of their truth. So see how evil was the end of those mischief-makers!
And they denied them, though their souls acknowledged them, for spite and arrogance. Then see the nature of the consequence for the wrong-doers!
They impugned them, wrongfully and out of arrogance, though they were convinced in their hearts [of their veracity]. So observe how the fate of the agents of corruption was!
They denied them unjustly out of pride, though their souls acknowledged them. See, how was the end of the corrupt workers!
They rejected the evidence because of their arrogance and injustice, although their souls knew it to be true. Think how terrible the end of the sinful ones was!
And they denied them unjustly and proudly while their soul had been convinced of them; consider, then how was the end of the mischief-makers.
And they persisted in rejecting them wrongfully and arrogantly, while in their hearts they were convinced of their truth. Observe, then, how evil was the fate of the evil-doers.
And they rejected those Signs in iniquity and arrogance, though their souls were convinced thereof: so see what was the end of those who acted corruptly!

(Solomon) smiled, amused at her speech, and said: \"O Lord grant me that I should be grateful for the favours You have bestowed on me and my parents, and do good things of Your pleasing; and admit me among Your righteous devotees by Your grace.\"
He therefore smiled beamingly at her speech*, and submitted, “My Lord, bestow me guidance so that I thank you for the favour which You bestowed upon me and my parents, and so that I may perform the good deeds which please You, and by Your mercy include me among Your bondmen who are worthy of Your proximity.” (Prophet Sulaiman heard the voice of the she ant from far away.)

Solomon smiled broadly at its words and said, \"Lord, inspire me to be thankful for the blessings You have granted me and my parents, and to do good deeds that please You; and include me, by Your grace, among Your righteous servants!\"

To worship God who brings to light what is hidden in the heavens and the earth, and is cognisant of what you hide and what you disclose.
“Why do they not prostrate to Allah, Who brings forth the things hidden in the heavens and the earth, and knows all what you hide and all what you disclose?”
so that they prostrate not themselves to God, who brings forth what is hidden in the heavens and earth; and He knows what you conceal and what you publish.
So that they adore not Allah who bringeth forth the hidden in the heavens and the earth, and knoweth that which conceal and that which ye make known.
Al-La (this word has two interpretations) (A) [As Shaitan (Satan) has barred them from Allah's Way] so that they do not worship (prostrate before) Allah, or (B) So that they may worship (prostrate before) Allah, Who brings to light what is hidden in the heavens and the earth, and knows what you conceal and what you reveal.

One with whom was knowledge of the Scripture said: \"I will bring it to you within the twinkling of an eye!\" then when [Sulaiman (Solomon)] saw it placed before him, he said: \"This is by the Grace of my Lord to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful! And whoever is grateful, truly, his gratitude is for (the good of) his ownself, and whoever is ungrateful, (he is ungrateful only for the loss of his ownself). Certainly! My Lord is Rich (Free of all wants), Bountiful.\"
He who had knowledge from the Book said, “I will bring it to you before your glance returns to you.” And when he saw it settled before him, he said, “This is from the grace of my Lord, to test me, whether I am grateful or ungrateful. He who is grateful, his gratitude is to his own credit; but he who is ungrateful—my Lord is Independent and Generous.”
And he who had some knowledge of the Book said: \"I will bring it before the twinkling of your eye.\" When Solomon saw the throne placed firmly beside him, he cried out: \"This is by the grace of my Lord so that He may test me whether I give thanks for (His Bounty) or act with ingratitude. Whoever is grateful is so to his own good; and whoever is ungrateful, let him know that my Lord is Immensely Resourceful, Most Bountiful.\"
One with whom was knowledge of the Scripture said: I will bring it thee before thy gaze returneth unto thee. And when he saw it set in his presence, (Solomon) said: This is of the bounty of my Lord, that He may try me whether I give thanks or am ungrateful. Whosoever giveth thanks he only giveth thanks for (the good of) his own soul; and whosoever is ungrateful (is ungrateful only to his own soul's hurt). For lo! my Lord is Absolute in independence, Bountiful.
The one who had knowledge of the Book said, ‘I will bring it to you in the twinkling of an eye.’ So when he saw it set near him, he said, ‘This is by the grace of my Lord, to test me if I will give thanks or be ungrateful. Whoever gives thanks, gives thanks only for his own sake. And whoever is ungrateful [should know that] my Lord is indeed all-sufficient, all-generous.’
But he who had knowledge of the Book, said: 'I will bring it to you before your glance comes back to you' And when he saw it set before him, he (Solomon) said: 'This is a favor from my Lord that He might test me whether I am thankful or ungrateful. Whosoever gives thanks gives thanks only for his (own soul's) good, but he who is ungrateful, truly my Lord is Rich and Generous'
The one who had knowledge from the Book said, \"I can bring it to you before you even blink your eye.\" When Solomon saw the throne placed before him, he said, \"This is a favor from my Lord by which He wants to test whether I am grateful or ungrateful. Whoever thanks God does so for his own good. Whoever is ungrateful to God should know that my Lord is Self-Sufficient and Benevolent.\"
One who had the knowledge of the Book said: I will bring it to you in the twinkling of an eye. Then when he saw it settled beside him, he said: This is of the grace of my Lord that He may try me whether I am grateful or ungrateful; and whoever is grateful, he is grateful only for his own soul, and whoever is ungrateful, then surely my Lord is Self-sufficient, Honored.
But one of them who had some knowledge of the Book said, \"I will bring it to you in the twinkling of an eye.\" When Solomon saw it placed before him, he exclaimed, \"This is by the grace of my Lord, to test whether I am grateful or ungrateful. Whosoever is grateful, it is for the good of his own self; and whosoever is ungrateful, then surely my Lord is self-sufficient and generous.\"
Said one who had knowledge of the Book: \"I will bring it to thee within the twinkling of an eye!\" Then when (Solomon) saw it placed firmly before him, he said: \"This is by the Grace of my Lord!- to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful! and if any is grateful, truly his gratitude is (a gain) for his own soul; but if any is ungrateful, truly my Lord is Free of all Needs, Supreme in Honour!\"

(Turning to his nobles) he said: \"Change the appearance of her throne. Let us see if she is rightly guided, or is not guided at all.\"
Said Sulaiman, “Disguise her throne in front of her so that we may see whether she finds the way* or becomes of those who remain unknowing.” (*Recognises her throne.)
He said, 'Disguise her throne for her, and we shall behold whether she is guided or if she is of those that are not guided.'
He said: disguise for her her throne, that we may see whether she be guided or be of those who are not guided.
He said: \"Disguise her throne for her that we may see whether she will be guided (to recognise her throne), or she will be one of those not guided.\"
He said, “Disguise her throne for her, and we shall see whether she will be guided, or remains one of the misguided.”
Solomon said: \" Set the throne before her casually, and let us see whether she gets to the Truth or is one of those who are not guided to what is right.\"
He said: Disguise her throne for her that we may see whether she will go aright or be of those not rightly guided.
He said, ‘Disguise her throne for her, so that we may see whether she is discerning or if she is one of the undiscerning ones.’
(Then) he said: 'Let her throne be disguised, so that we can see whether she is guided or if she is among those who are not guided'
Then he said, \"Make a few changes to her throne and let us see whether she will recognize it or not.\"
He said: Alter her throne for her, we will see whether she follows the right way or is of those who do not go aright.
He said, \"Disguise her throne. We shall see whether or not she will recognize it.\"
He said: \"Transform her throne out of all recognition by her: let us see whether she is guided (to the truth) or is one of those who receive no guidance.\"
