| Abdel Haleem The two bodies of water are not alike- one is palatable, sweet, and pleasant to drink, the other salty and bitter- yet from each you eat fresh fish and extract ornaments to wear, and in each you see the ships ploughing their course so that you may seek God’s bounty and be grateful |
| Abdul Hye And the 2 seas are not alike - one is fresh sweet and pleasant to drink; and the other is salty and bitter. Yet, from each of them you eat fresh meat (fish) and get ornaments to wear. You see the ships sailing through them, that you may seek His Bounty, and that you may give thanks |
| Abdullah Yusuf Ali Nor are the two bodies of flowing water alike,- the one palatable, sweet, and pleasant to drink, and the other, salt and bitter.

| Abdul Majid Daryabadi And the two seas are not alike: this, sweet, thirst- quenching, pleasant to drink; and that, saltish and bitter.

| Aisha Bewley The two seas are not the same: the one is sweet, refreshing, delicious to drink, the other salty, bitter to the taste.

| A. J. Arberry Not equal are the two seas; this is sweet, grateful to taste, delicious to drink, and that is salt, bitter to the tongue.

| Ali Quli Qarai Not alike are the two seas: this one sweet and agreeable, pleasant to drink, and that one briny and bitter, and from each you eat fresh meat and obtain ornaments which you wear.
