And (even] if We had appointed an angel as Our message-bearer, We would certainly have made him [appear as] a man - and thus We would only have confused them in the same way as they are now confusing themselves.

If We had made it an angel, We should have sent him as a man, and We should certainly have caused them confusion in a matter which they have already covered with confusion.

Had we appointed him (Our messenger) an angel, We assuredly had made him (as) a man (that he might speak to men); and (thus) obscured for them (the truth) they (now) obscure.

And if We had made him an angel, We would certainly have made him a man, and (thus) made confused to them what they confuse.

And if We had made him an angel, We would have made him [appear as] a man, and We would have covered them with that in which they cover themselves.
