And had it been Our will [that they should not be free to choose between right and wrong], We could surely have given them a different nature [and created them as beings rooted] in their places, so that they would not be able to move forward, and could not turn back.]

And had We willed, We could have transfigured them on the spot, so they could neither progress forward nor turn back.

And if We had so willed, We could have crippled them where they stood, so that they could move neither forward nor backward.

And if We willed surely, We (would have) transformed them in their places then not they would have been able to proceed and not return.

And had it been Our will [that they should not be free to choose between right and wrong], We could surely have given them a different nature [and created them as beings rooted] in their places, so that they would not be able to move forward, and could not turn back.]

And had We willed, We verily could have fixed them in their place, making them powerless to go forward or turn back

And if it had been Our Will, We could have transformed them (to remain) in their places; then should they have been unable to move about, nor could they have returned (after error)

And if We had so willed, We could have crippled them where they stood, so that they could move neither forward nor backward.

If it had been Our will, We could have paralysed them where they stood, so that they would not be able to go forward or turn back

And if We please We would surely transform them in their place, then they would not be able to go on, nor will they return

And if We will, We would, certainly, have transformed their ability. Then, they would not have been able to pass on, nor would they return.

If We wished, We would nail them to the spot so they would not manage to keep on going nor would they ever return.

And if it had been Our will, We could have transformed them (into animals or lifeless objects) in their places. Then neither they could have been able to go forward nor they could have turned back.

And if We will, We can cripple them in their place; so they can neither move forward, nor go back

And if We had (so) decided, We would have indeed disfigured them in (spite of) their situation; then in no way could they be passing, nor could they return

We could have turned them into other creatures on the spot had We wanted and they would not have been able to precede or turn back

And If We so will, We would disfigure them at their places, and they would not be able to move, nor would they return

And had We so Willed, We could have degraded them driven by instincts, powerless to advance or retreat in their potentials

If We want, We could squash them in their very places! Then they could neither proceed nor return

And if it was Our Will, We could have transformed them (just to be) in their places; Then they would not have been able to forward (move about), and they could not have turned back

And if We willed, We could have deformed them, [paralyzing them] in their places so they would not be able to proceed, nor could they return

And if We wished, We can freeze them in their place; thus, they can neither move forward, nor go back

If it had been Our will, We could have paralysed them where they stood, so that they could not move forward or backward

And if We listed, surely We should transform them in their places, so that they would be able neither to go forward nor to retur

And if We pleased We could paralyse them in their tracks, and they would not be able to move forward or turn back

If We wished, We could transform them where they stand so they would neither be able to go out nor return.

If We had so willed, We could have fixed them in their places (immobilized where they are), unable to go forward or turn back

If We wanted, We could have paralysed them, so they wouldn’t move to and fro.

If We so willed, We would have transformed them where they were so that they would not go forward or backward

And if We wished, We can freeze them in their place; thus, they can neither move forward, nor go back

And had We so willed, We would have degraded them in their position, then they would be able neither to proceed, nor turn back

If We willed, We would have mutilated their faces sitting in their homes, they could not be able to go on or could return.

If we will, we can freeze them in place; thus, they can neither move forward, nor go back.

Had it been Our will We would have transmuted them (into monkeys, pigs and stones) where they were, so that they could neither go forward nor yet return

And if We pleased, We would transform them in their place, then they would not be able to go on, or turn back

And if We will/want We would have transformed them to worse shape/metamorphosed them on their capacity/place/position, so they were not able (of) passing/preceding/completing , and nor they return

I may decide to freeze them so that they stay motionless; not being able to move around

And had We willed, We could have disfigured their faces while they were in their homes, therefore unable to go forward or turn back

And if WE had so willed, WE could have transformed them in their places, then they would not be able to move forward or turn back

And if We had so intended, We would have defaced them in their places. Then they would have power neither to go forward nor to turn back

If We had (so) willed, We could have surely destroyed them where they were, so that they would not be able to move forward nor turn back

And if it had been Our Will, We could have transformed them (into animals or lifeless objects) in their places. Then they should have been unable to go forward (move about) nor they could have turned back. (As it happened with the Jews see Verse 7:166 The Quran)

Did We will, We would have changed them where they were, then they could not go on, nor could they return

And if We pleased We could transform them into other shapes, in their places where they should be found; and they should not be able to depart: Neither should they repent

And if we pleased we would transform them in their places, and they should not be able to go on, nor yet to return

And, if we pleased, we would surely transform them as they stand, and they would not be able to move onward, or to return

Had it been Our will, We could have transformed them where they stood, so that they could neither go forward nor retrace their steps

If it had been Our will, We could have transformed them into immovable objects wherever they settled [in spiritual matters], and then they could not have returned [even if they had wanted]. [But God continued allowing free will.]

If We wished, We would nail them to the spot so they would not manage to keep on going nor would they ever return. (V)

And had it been Our will, We could have paralysed them, right in their places, so that they could not move forward or backward.

And if We willed We could have paralyzed them in their places (fixated them upon their current understanding) and they would not be able to move forward, nor go back to their old states.

And if We please, We would surely transform them in their place, then they would not be able to go on, nor will they return.

And had We willed We would have transmuted them and frozen them physically and spiritually in their unprivileged site, then they would have been unable to move forward to repent and do good nor backward to do evil

And if We will We could transform them in their places, then they would not be able to go forward or to return.

And if it had been Our Will, We could have transformed them (to remain) in their places; then should they have been unable to move about, nor could they have returned (after error)
