Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
And when he came to the water of Madyan he found a group of men, watering their animals; and away from them he found two women restraining their animals; he said, "What is the matter with you?" They said, "We do not water our animals till all the shepherds water and take away their animals; and our father is very old."

Yusuf Ali:
And when he arrived at the watering (place) in Madyan, he found there a group of men watering (their flocks), and besides them he found two women who were keeping back (their flocks). He said: "What is the matter with you?" They said: "We cannot water (our flocks) until the shepherds take back (their flocks): And our father is a very old man."

Pickthal:
And when he came unto the water of Midian he found there a whole tribe of men, watering. And he found apart from them two women keeping back (their flocks). He said: What aileth you? The two said: We cannot give (our flocks) to drink till the shepherds return from the water; and our father is a very old man.
