لَا الشَّمْسُ يَنْبَغِي لَهَا أَنْ تُدْرِكَ الْقَمَرَ وَلَا اللَّيْلُ سَابِقُ النَّهَارِ ۚ وَكُلٌّ فِي فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ
Weder ziemt es der Sonne, den Mond einzuholen, noch wird die Nacht dem Tag zuvorkommen; alle laufen in einer (jeweils eigenen) Umlaufbahn.
Weder darf die Sonne den Mond einholen, noch kommt die Nacht dem Tag zuvor. Und jedes Gestirn nimmt seinen Lauf in einer (eigenen) Sphäre.
Neither can the sun overtake the moon, nor the night outpace the day: Each of them keeps coursing in its orbit.
It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor does the night outstrip the day. All (the celestial bodies and systems) float in an orbit (determined for each).
It is not given to the sun to attain to (the purpose ordained for) the moon, nor is it given to the night to outstrip the day. All of these (luminaries) go on floating smoothly in an orbit (of their own).
[and] neither may the sun overtake the moon, nor can the night usurp the time of day, 21 since all of them float through space [in accordance with Our laws].
It is not permitted to the sun that it should overtake the moon, nor can the night outstrip the day: each in an orbit, they float.
It is not for the sun to catch up with the moon, nor does the night surpass the day; and each one of them floats in its orbit.
Neither is it allowable to the sun that it should overtake the moon, nor can the night outstrip the day; and all float on in their own orbits.
The sun should not (be) to it that it catches up/overtakes/reaches the moon, and nor the night (is) surpassing/preceding the daytime, and each (is) in (an) orbit/circuit floating.
Neither it is possible for the sun to overtake the moon, nor for the night to outstrip the day: each floats along in its own orbit.
And the moon, We have ordained for it stages till it becomes again as an old dry palm-branch.
how the sun is not supposed to catch-up with the moon, nor is the night to precede the day. All of them are to float in a certain orbit;
It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor doth the night outstrip the day. They float each in an orbit.
Neither is it allowable to the sun that it should overtake the moon, nor can the night outstrip the day; and all float on in a sphere.
It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor does the night outstrip the day. They all float, each in an orbit.
It is not permitted to the Sun to catch up the Moon, nor can the Night outstrip the Day: Each (just) swims along in (its own) orbit (according to Law).
