Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
And had we appointed an angel as a Prophet, We would still have made him as a man and would keep them in the same doubt, as they are now in.

Yusuf Ali:
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.

Pickthal:
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.
