‘What! One who is brought up amid ornaments and is inconspicuous in contests?’

"What! (Am I to have a daughter –) one who is brought up in adornments, and unable to be clear in disputation?"

Can one who has been raised on ornaments and cannot present her case coolly in a dispute (be associated with God?)

And (do they chose for Him) one who is brought up among ornaments, and cannot express herself clearly in debate?

(Is he your god) who is brought up in the midst of ornaments and who is unable to make a clear expression (to an argument) and a plain speech in disputation (and discussions).

What, one who is reared amid ornaments and, when the time of altercation comes, is not to be seen?

What! (Liken they Allah to) that which is bred among ornaments and which in disputes cannot make itself plain (or give an account of itself)!

(Do they then like for Allah) a creature who is brought up in adornments (wearing silk and gold ornaments, i.e. women), and in dispute cannot make herself clear?

And when one of them is given news of that of which he sets up a likeness for the Beneficent his face becomes black and he is full of rage.

What! that which is made in ornaments and which in contention is unable to make plain speech!

Does God choose for Himself the kind of children who grow up wearing ornaments and who are not strong enough to defend their rights?

(As such they attribute to Allah) who is brought up among ornaments but when disputes arise are powerless.

So is one brought up in ornaments while being during conflict unevident [attributed to Allah]?
