ذَٰلِكَ That dhālika (is) from min (the) news anbāi (of) the unseen l-ghaybi We reveal it nūḥīhi to you ilayka And not wamā you were kunta with them ladayhim when idh they cast yul'qūna their pens aqlāmahum (as to) which of them ayyuhum takes charge (of) yakfulu Maryam maryama and not wamā you were kunta with them ladayhim when idh they (were) disputing yakhtaṣimūna
[¡Oh, Muhámmad!] Éstas son historias que te he revelado porque no eran conocidas [por tu gente]. Tú no estabas presente cuando sorteaban con sus plumas [de escritura] quién de ellos sería el tutor de María, ni tampoco cuando se lo disputaban.
