It is not allowable for the sun to reach the moon, nor does the night overtake the day, but each, in an orbit, is swimming.
Yusuf Ali
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).
Pickthall
It is not for the sun to overtake the moon, nor doth the night outstrip the day. They float each in an orbit.
