Translations of Quran 33:72
EnglishTalal Itani

We offered the Trust to the heavens, and the earth, and the mountains; but they refused to bear it, and were apprehensive of it; but the human being accepted it. He was unfair and ignorant.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

Lo! We offered the trust unto the heavens and the earth and the hills, but they shrank from bearing it and were afraid of it. And man assumed it. Lo! he hath proved a tyrant and a fool.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Evet, biz o emaneti Göklere, Yere ve Dağlara arzettik, onlar onu yüklenmeğe yanaşmadılar, ondan korktular da onu insan yüklendi, o cidden çok zalim, çok câhil bulunuyor

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Nous avons proposé au ciel, à la terre, aux montagnes, le dépôt de la foi ; ils ont refusé de s’en charger, ils ont tremblé de le recevoir. L’homme s’en chargea, et il est devenu injuste et insensé.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Wij stelden het geloof aan de hemelen, de aarde en de bergen voor, en zij weigerden zich er mede te belasten, en waren er bevreesd voor. De mensch belastte er zich mede; doch niettemin handelde hij onrechtvaardig omtrent zich zelven en dwaas.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Abbiamo proposto al cielo, alla terra, alle montagne, il deposito (della fede); hanno ricusato d’incaricarsene, hanno tremato di riceverlo. L’uomo se n’incarico, e divenne ingiusto ed insensato.
