Say: "Who is it that delivereth you from the dark recesses of land and sea, when ye call upon Him in humility and silent terror: 'If He only delivers us from these (dangers), (we vow) we shall truly show our gratitude'?"

They said: "Our Lord! We have wronged our own souls: If thou forgive us not and bestow not upon us Thy Mercy, we shall certainly be lost."

When they repented, and saw that they had erred, they said: "If our Lord have not mercy upon us and forgive us, we shall indeed be of those who perish."

It is He Who created you from a single person, and made his mate of like nature, in order that he might dwell with her (in love). When they are united, she bears a light burden and carries it about (unnoticed). When she grows heavy, they both pray to Allah their Lord, (saying): "If Thou givest us a goodly child, we vow we shall (ever) be grateful."

He it is Who enableth you to traverse through land and sea; so that ye even board ships;- they sail with them with a favourable wind, and they rejoice thereat; then comes a stormy wind and the waves come to them from all sides, and they think they are being overwhelmed: they cry unto Allah, sincerely offering (their) duty unto Him saying, "If thou dost deliver us from this, we shall truly show our gratitude!"

你说：“你们谦逊地和秘密地祈祷说：'如果他拯救我们脱离这些苦难，我们必定感谢他。'谁能拯救你们脱离陆地和海洋的各种苦难呢？”

他俩说：“我们的主啊！我们已自欺了，如果你不赦宥我们，不慈悯我们，我们必定变成亏折者。”

当他们已经悔恨，而且知道自己确已迷误的时候，他们说：“如果我们的主不慈悯我们，不饶恕我们，我们一定变成亏折的人了。”

他从一个人创造你们，他使那个人的配偶与他同类，以便他依恋她。他和她交接后，她怀了一个轻飘飘的孕，她能照常度日，当她感觉身子重的时候，他俩祈祷真主--他俩的主--说：“如果你赏赐我们一个健全的儿子，我们一定感谢你。”

真主使你们在陆上和海上旅行。当你们坐在船中，乘顺风而航行，并因风而欣喜的时候，暴风向船袭来，波涛从各处滚来，船里的人猜想自己已被包围，他们虔诚地祈祷真主，”如果你使我们脱离这次灾难，我们必定感谢你。”
