Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Or (take) the similitude of one who passed by a hamlet, all in ruins to its roofs. He said: "Oh! how shall Allah bring it (ever) to life, after (this) its death?" but Allah caused him to die for a hundred years, then raised him up (again). He said: "How long didst thou tarry (thus)?" He said: (Perhaps) a day or part of a day." He said: "Nay, thou hast tarried thus a hundred years; but look at thy food and thy drink; they show no signs of age; and look at thy donkey: And that We may make of thee a sign unto the people, Look further at the bones, how We bring them together and clothe them with flesh." When this was shown clearly to him, he said: "I know that Allah hath power over all things."
Mufti Taqi Usmani
Or, (do you not know) the example of the one who passed through a town that had collapsed on its roofs. He said: .How shall Allah revive this after it is dead?. So, Allah made him dead for a hundred years, then raised him saying: .How long did you remain (in this state)?. He said: .I remained for a day or part of a day.. Said He: .Rather, you remained (dead) for a hundred years. Just look at your food and your drink; it has not spoiled. Now look at your donkey. (We did) this to make you a sign for people! Look at the bones, how We raise them, then dress them with flesh.. So, when it was clear to him, he said: .I know that Allah is Powerful over everything..
Muhammad Marmaduke Pickthall
Or (bethink thee of) the like of him who, passing by a township which had fallen into utter ruin, exclaimed: How shall Allah give this township life after its death? And Allah made him die a hundred years, then brought him back to life. He said: How long hast thou tarried? (The man) said: I have tarried a day or part of a day. (He) said: Nay, but thou hast tarried for a hundred years. Just look at thy food and drink which have rotted! Look at thine ass! And, that We may make thee a token unto mankind, look at the bones, how We adjust them and then cover them with flesh! And when (the matter) became clear unto him, he said: I know now that Allah is Able to do all things.
Sahih International
Or [consider such an example] as the one who passed by a township which had fallen into ruin. He said, "How will Allah bring this to life after its death?" So Allah caused him to die for a hundred years; then He revived him. He said, "How long have you remained?" The man said, "I have remained a day or part of a day." He said, "Rather, you have remained one hundred years. Look at your food and your drink; it has not changed with time. And look at your donkey; and We will make you a sign for the people. And look at the bones [of this donkey] - how We raise them and then We cover them with flesh." And when it became clear to him, he said, "I know that Allah is over all things competent."

Ou comme celui qui passait dans par un village désert et dévasté: "Comment Allah va-t-Il redonner la vie à celui-ci après sa mort?" dit-il. Allah donc le fit mourir et le garda ainsi pendant cent ans. Puis Il le ressuscita en disant: "Combien de temps as-tu demeuré ainsi?" "Je suis resté un jour, dit l'autre, ou une partie de la journée." "Non! dit Allah, tu es resté cent ans. Regarde donc ta nourriture et ta boisson: rien ne s'est gâté; mais regarde ton âne... Et pour faire de toi un signe pour les gens, et regarde ces ossements, comment Nous les assemblons et les revêtons de chair". Et devant l'évidence, il dit: "Je sais qu'Allah est Omnipotent".
Или над тем, кто проходил мимо селения, разрушенного до основания? Он сказал: «Как Аллах воскресит это после того, как все это умерло?» Аллах умертвил его на сто лет, а затем оживил и сказал: «Сколько ты пробыл здесь?» Он сказал: «Я пробыл день или часть дня». Он сказал: «Нет, ты пробыл сто лет. Посмотри на свою еду и воду: они даже не изменились. И посмотри на своего осла. Мы непременно сделаем тебя знамением для людей. Посмотри же, как Мы соберем кости, а затем покроем их мясом». Когда это было показано ему, он сказал: «Я знаю, что Аллах способен на всякую вещь».
Portugese
Tampouco reparastes naquele que passou por uma cidade em ruínas e conjecturou: Como poderá Deus ressuscitá-la depois de sua morte? Deus o manteve morto durante cem anos; depois o ressuscitou e lhe perguntou: Quanto tempo permaneceste assim? Respondeu: Permaneci um dia ou parte dele. Disse-lhe: Qual! Permaneceste cem anos. Observa a tua comida e a tua bebida; constata que ainda não se deterioraram. Agora observa teu asno (não resta dele mais do que a ossada); isto é para fazer de ti um exemplo para os humanos. Observa como dispomos os seus ossos e em seguida os revestimos de carne. Diante da evidência, exclamou: Reconheço que Deus é Onipotente!

Oder (hast du auch nicht über) den (nachgedacht), der an einer Stadt vorüberkam, die wüst in Trümmern lag? Da sagte er: "Oh, wie soll Allah dieser nach ihrer Zerstörung wieder Leben geben?" Und Allah ließ ihn für hundert Jahre tot sein. Dann erweckte Er ihn wieder. Er sprach: "Wie lange hast du verharrt?" Er sagte: "Ich verharrte einen Tag oder den Teil eines Tages." Da sprach Er: "Doch du verharrtest einhundert Jahre. Nun betrachte deine Speise und deinen Trank. Sie sind nicht verdorben. Und betrachte deinen Esel. Wir machen dich damit zu einem Zeichen für die Menschen. Und betrachte die Knochen, wie Wir sie zusammensetzen und dann mit Fleisch bekleiden." Und als ihm dies klargemacht worden war, sagte er: "Ich weiß, daß Allah Macht hat über alle Dinge."
