Translations of Quran 6:122
EnglishTalal Itani

Is he who was dead, then We gave him life, and made for him a light by which he walks among the people, like him who is in total darkness, and cannot get out of it? Thus the doings of disbelievers are made to appear good to them.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

Is he who was dead and We have raised him unto life, and set for him a light wherein he walketh among men, as him whose similitude is in utter darkness whence he cannot emerge? Thus is their conduct made fairseeming for the disbelievers.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Hem bir adam ölü iken biz onu diriltmişiz ve kendisine bir nur vermişiz, insanlar içinde onunla yürüyor, hiç o bittemsil zulmetler içinde kalmış ve ondan bir türlü çıkamayacak bir halde bulunan kimse gibi olurmu? Fakat kâfirlere amellere öyle yaldızlı gösterilmektedir.

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Celui qui était mort et à qui nous avons donné la vie, a qui nous avons donné la lumière pour marcher au milieu des hommes, sera-t-il semblable à celui qui marche dans les ténèbres et qui n’en sortira point ? C’est ainsi que les actions des infidèles ont été préparées d’avance.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Zal hij die dood geweest is, en dien wij tot het leven hebben teruggebracht, en dien wij een licht hebben geschonken, waarmede hij onder de menschen zou kunnen wandelen, als degene zijn, die in de duisternis wandelt en die daaruit niet kan geraken? Zoo werden de daden der ongeloovigen vooruit bereid.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Quegli che era morto, ed a cui abbiamo data la vita, a cui abbiam data la luce per camminare in mezzo agli uomini, sarà egli simile a colui che cammina nelle tenebre, e non ne sortirà mai? Così le azioni degl’infedeli sono state anticipatamente preparate.
