As for the ship, it belonged to poor people working at sea. So I intended to cause defect in it as there was after them a king who seized every [good] ship by force.

"அம்மரக்கலம் கடலில் வேலை செய்யும் ஏழைகள் சிலருக்குச் சொந்தமானது எனவே நான் அதை (ஓட்டையிட்டு)ப் பழுதாக்க விரும்பினேன்; (ஏனெனில்) அவர்களுக்குப் பின்னால் (கொடுங்கோலனான) ஓர் அரசன் இருந்தான்; அவன் (பழுதில்லா) மரக்கலங்களையெல்லாம் பலவந்தமாக எடுத்துக் கொள்கிறான்.

එම නැව වූ කලී, එය මුහුදෙහි සේවය කරන දිළින්දන් සතු විය. එහෙයින් මම එය පළුදු කරන්නට සිතුවෙමි. (හේතුව) සෑම නැවක්ම බලහත්කාරයෙන් ගන්නා රජකු ඔවුනට පසුපසින් විය.

کشتی تو چند مسکینوں کی تھی جو دریا میں کام کاج کرتے تھے۔ میں نے اس میں کچھ توڑ پھوڑ کرنے کا اراده کر لیا کیونکہ ان کے آگے ایک بادشاه تھا جو ہر ایک (صحیح سالم) کشتی کو جبراً ضبط کر لیتا تھا.

至于那只船,则是在海里工作的几个穷人的,我要使船有缺陷,是因为他们的前面有一个国王,要强徵一切船只。

Tafsir of 18:79

Interpretations of why the Ship was damaged This is an explanation of what Musa found so hard to understand, and the appearence of which he condemed. Allah showed Al-Khidr the hidden reasons, so he said, "I damaged the ship to make it faulty, because they used to pass by a king who was one of the oppressors, who يَأْخُذُ كُلَّ سَفِينَةٍ (seized every boat), i.e., every good, sound boat غَصْباً (by force.) `So I wanted to prevent him from taking this boat by making it appear faulty, so that its poor owners who had nothing else could benefit from it.' It was also said that they were orphans.
