Sahih International
[David] said, "He has certainly wronged you in demanding your ewe [in addition]
to his ewes. And indeed, many associates oppress one another, except for those
who believe and do righteous deeds - and few are they." And David became certain
that We had tried him, and he asked forgiveness of his Lord and fell down bowing
[in prostration] and turned in repentance [to Allah ].
Muhsin Khan
[Dawud (David)] said (immediately without listening to the opponent): "He has
wronged you in demanding your ewe in addition to his ewes. And, verily, many
partners oppress one another, except those who believe and do righteous good
deeds, and they are few." And Dawud (David) guessed that We have tried him and
he sought Forgiveness of his Lord, and he fell down prostrate and turned (to
Allah) in repentance.
Pickthall
(David) said: He hath wronged thee in demanding thine ewe in addition to his
ewes, and lo! many partners oppress one another, save such as believe and do
good works, and they are few. And David guessed that We had tried him, and he
sought forgiveness of his Lord, and he bowed himself and fell down prostrate and
repented.
Yusuf Ali
(David) said: "He has undoubtedly wronged thee in demanding thy (single) ewe to
be added to his (flock of) ewes: truly many are the partners (in business) who
wrong each other: Not so do those who believe and work deeds of righteousness,
and how few are they?"...and David gathered that We had tried him: he asked
forgiveness of his Lord, fell down, bowing (in prostration), and turned (to
Allah in repentance).
Shakir
He said: Surely he has been unjust to you in demanding your ewe (to add) to his
own ewes; and most surely most of the partners act wrongfully towards one
another, save those who believe and do good, and very few are they; and Dawood
was sure that We had tried him, so he sought the protection of his Lord and he
fell down bowing and turned time after time (to Him).
Dr. Ghali
He (Dawud) said, "Indeed he has already done an injustice to you in asking for
your ewe (in addition) to his ewes; and surely many intermixes are indeed
inequitable one against the other, (Literally: some of them are unfair to some
"others") except the ones who have believed and done deeds of righteousness, and
how few they are!" And Dawud surmised that We had only tempted (Or: tried) him;
so he asked forgiveness of his Lord, and he collapsed bowing down and turned
penitent. A prostration is to be performed here.

Sahih International
[We said], "O David, indeed We have made you a successor upon the earth, so
judge between the people in truth and do not follow [your own] desire, as it
will lead you astray from the way of Allah ." Indeed, those who go astray from
the way of Allah will have a severe punishment for having forgotten the Day of
Account.

O Dawud (David)! Verily! We have placed you as a successor on earth, so judge
you between men in truth (and justice) and follow not your desire for it will

Path of Allah (shall) have a severe torment, because they forgot the Day of
Reckoning.

Yusuf Ali
O David! We did indeed make thee a vicegerent on earth: so judge thou between

will mislead thee from the Path of Allah: for those who wander astray from the
Path of Allah, is a Penalty Grievous, for that they forget the Day of Account.
Shakir
o Dawood! surely We have made you a ruler in the land; so judge between men with
justice and do not follow desire, lest it should lead you astray from the path

have a severe punishment because they forgot the day of reckoning.
Dr. Ghali
O Dawud, surely We have made you a succeeding (Literally: Caliph) (Messenger) in

prejudice that it may make you err from the way of Allah. Surely the ones who
err from the way of Allah will have a strict torment for that they have
forgotten the Day of Reckoning.
