For [thus it is:] if any of them is given the glad tiding of [the birth of] what he so readily attributes to the Most Gracious,¹⁵ his face darkens, and he is filled with suppressed anger:

- Mohammad Asad

Yet when a new born-girl - the gender that they ascribe to the Compassionate - is announced to one of them, his face darkens and he is filled with grief.

- Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik

Whenever one of them is given the good news of what they attribute to the Most Compassionate,¹ his face grows gloomy, as he suppresses his rage.

- Mustafa Khattab

And if one of them hath tidings of that which he likeneth to the Beneficent One, his countenance becometh black and he is full of inward rage.

- Marmaduke Pickthall

When news is brought to one of them of (the birth of) what he sets up as a likeness to (Allah) Most Gracious his face darkens and he is filled with inward grief! ⁴⁶²²
