ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَـٰهُ نُطْفَةً فِى قَرَارٍ مَّكِينٍ
Thumma jaAAaln a hu nu t fatan fee qar a rin makeen in
and then We cause him to remain as a drop of sperm in [the womb's] firm keeping,
  - Mohammad Asad
then placed him as a drop of semen in a firm resting place,
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
then placed each 'human' as a sperm-drop1 in a secure place,
  - Mustafa Khattab

 See footnote for 22:5.

Then placed him as a drop (of seed) in a safe lodging;
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Then We placed him as (a drop of) sperm in a place of rest firmly fixed; 2873
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

The growth in the foetal stage is silent and unseen. The foetus is protected in the mother's womb like a king in a castle; it is firmly fixed, and gets the protection of the mother's body, on which it depends for its own growth until birth.
