Say: He is only One Allah. Lo! I am innocent of that which ye associate (with Him).
Yusuf Ali: Say: "What thing is most weighty in evidence?" Say: "Allah is witness between me and you; This Qur'an hath been revealed to me by inspiration, that I may warn you and all whom it reaches.

Say: "But in truth He is the one Allah, and I truly am innocent of (your blasphemy of) joining others with Him."
Shakir: Say: What thing is the weightiest in testimony? Say: Allah is witness between you and me; and this Quran has been revealed to me that with it I may warn you and whomsoever it reaches.

Muhammad Sarwar: (Muhammad), ask them, "What is the greatest testimony? God testifies of my truthfulness to you.

Mohsin Khan: Say (O Muhammad SAW): "What thing is the most great in witness?" Say: "Allah (the Most Great!) is Witness between me and you; this Quran has been revealed to me that I may therewith warn you and whomsoever it may reach.

And truly I am innocent of what you join in worship with Him."
