But then they relapsed into their former way of thinking and said: “Thou knowest very well that these [idols] cannot speak!”

Then they ˹quickly˺ regressed to their ˹original˺ mind-set, ˹arguing,˺ “You already know that those ˹idols˺ cannot talk.”

Then, they reversed themselves, [saying], "You [Abraham] knew that these [idols] do not speak!"

thumma nukisū ʿalā ruūsihim laqad ʿalim'ta mā hāulāi yanṭiqūn

Then they were turned on their heads, "Verily, you know not these (can) speak!"

But then they relapsed into their former way of thinking and said: “Thou knowest very well that these [idols] cannot speak!”

And they were utterly confounded, and they said: Well thou knowest that these speak not

Then were they confounded with shame: (they said), "Thou knowest full well that these (idols) do not speak!"

Then they ˹quickly˺ regressed to their ˹original˺ mind-set, ˹arguing,˺ “You already know that those ˹idols˺ cannot talk.”

Then, they reversed themselves, [saying], "You [Abraham] knew that these [idols] do not speak!"

then they hung their heads, and said, O Abraham! You know they cannot speak

Then they were made to hang down their heads: Certainly you know that they do not speak

Again, they were put into confusion: Certainly, thou hadst known that these speak not for themselves!

Then they hung their heads: "You knew those things do not utter [a word]."

Then they turned to themselves (and said): “Indeed you (Abraham) know that these (idols) cannot speak!”

Then they reverted, “Certainly you know that these speak not!

As an effect they were compelled to lower down their heads in humiliation (saying): “Surely, indeed, you (O Ibrahim) knew that these do not talk (either to us or to themselves).”

Confounded as they were, lowering their heads they said, "You know fully well that they cannot speak."

But they reverted to their old ideas: 'You certainly know that these do not speak.'

Thereafter they were made to relapse (Literally: they were turned upon their heads) (into idolatry), (saying), "Indeed you already know that these (can) in no way pronounce (a word)."

With their heads cast down they said, "Abraham, you know that idols do not speak. How then can you ask such a question?"

Then, hanging their heads they reversed their position (and replied to Ibrahim,) .You already knew that they do not speak

They were utterly confounded in shame, lowered their heads and said to Abraham, "You know that they speak not."

But they brushed that thought aside and said, "Of course, they do not talk! And you know it!"

Then they were confused, faced with shame: (They said:) "You know very well that these (idols) do not speak!"

Then they reversed themselves, [saying], "You have already known that these do not speak!"

Then they reverted to their old ideas: "You know that they do not speak!"

but then they lapsed again and said, ‘You know very well these gods cannot speak.’

Thereafter they were made to turn over upon their heads, saying, assuredly thou knowest that they speak not

Then crestfallen (they confessed): "Truly, as you know, they cannot speak."

But then they relapsed back into their kufr: ´You know full well these idols cannot talk.´

But afterwards, (under the influence of the same factors causing them to disbelieve) they relapsed into their former way of believing, and said to Abraham: "You know very well that these (images) cannot speak."

Then they hung their heads. [They said], ‘You certainly know that they cannot speak.’

Then were they confounded with shame and said, "You knew well that these cannot speak."

Then they were turned over their heads (in shame or in defiance saying): you have certainly known that these do not speak

Then they were angered and embarrassed. They said, “You know full well that these do not speak.

They shook their heads in disbelief and said, “You know they can’t speak.”

Then their minds were turned upside down, and they said: "You know well that they do not speak."

Then they returned to their old ideas: "You know that they do not speak!"

And, their heads hanging down, they said to Abraham, "You do know they do not speak."

Then they were lied downward on the heads, that you know well that these do not speak.

Yet, they reverted to their old ideas: "You know full well that these cannot speak."

But then they reversed their minds: 'You know they do not speak.

Then they were made to hang down their heads: Thou knowest indeed that they speak not

Then they were turned upside down on their heads/tops, "You had known those do not speak."

They [were too proud, however, to admit it publicly and] returned to their roots and said: “You know well that the idols do not speak.”

Again they were inverted upon their heads; saying, "You know well that these do not speak."

And they were made to hang down their heads for shame and said to Abraham, `Certainly thou knowest well that these do not speak.

Then they were turned upside down upon their heads (i.e., their thinking reverted and they said: ‘Ibrahim [Abraham]), surely you yourself know that they do not speak.

Then they were made to hang down their heads (in shame and said to Abraham), `Indeed, you know very well that these (idols) do not speak.

Then they turned to themselves (their first thought and said): "Indeed you (Ibrahim (Abraham)) know well that these (idols) speak not!"

Then they were utterly put to confusion saying, 'Very well indeed thou knowest these do not speak.

Afterwards they relapsed into their former obstinacy, and said, verily thou knowest that these speak not

Then they turned upside down again: 'Thou knewest that these cannot speak.

Then became headstrong in their former error and exclaimed,"Thou knowest that these speak not."

They were crestfallen: ‘You know they cannot speak.‘

They hung their heads [with shame]. “Certainly, you know that these [idols] do not speak.”

Then they reversed [their opnion]: "You knew those things do not utter [a word]."

But then they relapsed into their old position and said, 'You know very well that these [idols] cannot speak!'

Then, feeling confused, they went back to their previous thought and insisted, “But you know they cannot speak!”

Then they were made to hang down their heads, (saying:) �Very well indeed you know these (idols) do not speak�

But, overturned by imprudence in their minds and by subversion of reason, they said to him: "You knew very well that these idols do not talk!"

Then they turned to themselves and said, "Certainly you yourselves are the unjust."

Then were they confounded with shame: (they said), "Thou knowest full well that these (idols) do not speak!"

Then they were turned on their heads, "Verily, you know not these (can) speak!
