Translations of Quran 33:4
EnglishTalal Itani

Allah did not place two hearts inside any man’s body. Nor did He make your wives whom you equate with your mothers, your actual mothers. Nor did He make your adopted sons, your actual sons. These are your words coming out of your mouths. Allah speaks the truth, and guides to the path.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

Allah hath not assigned unto any man two hearts within his body, nor hath He made your wives whom ye declare (to be your mothers) your mothers, nor hath He made those whom ye claim (to be your sons) your sons. This is but a saying of your mouths. But Allah saith the truth and He showeth the way.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Allah adam için içinde iki kalb yapmamıştır, ve kendilerinden zıhar yaptığınız zevcelerinizi analarınız kılmamıştır, Evlâtlıklarınızı da oğullarınız kılmamıştır, O sizin ağzınızda lâfınızdır, Allah ise hakkı söylüyor ve doğru yola hidayet eyliyor

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Dieu n’a pas donné deux cœurs à l’homme ; il n’a pas fait que vos épouses que vous pouvez répudier soient pour vous comme vos mères, ni que vos enfants adoptifs soient comme vos propres enfants. Ces mots ne sont que dans votre bouche. Dieu seul dit la vérité et dirige dans le droit chemin.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

God heeft den mensch geene twee harten gegeven; ook heeft hij uwe vrouwen (van welke sommigen uwer zich scheiden, haar daarna als hunne moeders aanziende) niet tot uwe ware moeders gemaakt, ook heeft hij uwe aangenomen zonen niet tot uwe ware zonen gemaakt. Dit zijn slechts de woorden die in uwen monden zijn; maar God spreekt de waarheid, en hij leidt op den rechten weg.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Dio non ha dato due cuori agli uomini; non ha accordato alle vostre mogli il dritto delle vostre madri, ně ai figli adottivi quello de’ vostri figli proprj. Queste parole sono nella vostra bocca soltanto. Dio solo dice la verità, e dirige nella via retta.
