Marmaduke Pickthall
Is not He (best) Who created the heavens and the earth, and sendeth down for you water from the sky wherewith We cause to spring forth joyous orchards, whose trees it never hath been yours to cause to grow. Is there any Allah beside Allah? Nay, but they are folk who ascribe equals (unto Him)!

1930 — first English translation of the Qur'an by a Muslim scholar.

Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Or, Who has created the heavens and the earth, and Who sends you down rain from the sky? Yea, with it We cause to grow well-planted orchards full of beauty of delight: it is not in your power to cause the growth of the trees in them. (Can there be another) god besides Allah? Nay, they are a people who swerve from justice.

1934 — widely-cited classic English rendering with commentary tradition.

Kementerian Agama RI
Atau siapakah yang telah menciptakan langit dan bumi dan yang menurunkan air untukmu dari langit, lalu Kami tumbuhkan dengan air itu kebun-kebun yang berpemandangan indah, yang kamu sekali-kali tidak mampu menumbuhkan pohon-pohonnya? Apakah disamping Allah ada tuhan (yang lain)? Bahkan (sebenarnya) mereka adalah orang-orang yang menyimpang (dari kebenaran).
