يَوْمَ نَطْوِى ٱلسَّمَآءَ كَطَىِّ ٱلسِّجِلِّ لِلْكُتُبِ ۚ كَمَا بَدَأْنَآ أَوَّلَ خَلْقٍ نُّعِيدُهُۥ ۚ وَعْدًا عَلَيْنَآ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا فَـٰعِلِينَ

Translations of Quran 21:104
EnglishTalal Itani

On the Day when We fold the heaven, like the folding of a book. Just as We began the first creation, We will repeat it—a promise binding on Us. We will act.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

The Day when We shall roll up the heavens as a recorder rolleth up a written scroll. As We began the first creation, We shall repeat it. (It is) a promise (binding) upon Us. Lo! We are to perform it.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

O gün ki Semâyı kitablar için defter dürer gibi düreceğiz evvel başladığımız gibi halkı iade edeceğiz, uhdemizde bir va'd, şübhe yok ki biz yaparız

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Ce jour-là nous plierons les cieux, de même que Sidjill plie le livre. Comme nous avons produit la création, de même nous la ferons rentrer. C’est une promesse qui nous oblige. Nous l’accomplirons.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Op dien dag zullen wij de hemelen oprollen, zoo als de engel Al Sijil het boek oprolt, waarin de daden van ieder mensch zijn vermeld. Gelijk wij het eerste schepsel uit niets maakten zullen wij het bij de opstanding vertoonen. Dit is eene belofte, welker vervulling van ons afhangt; wij zullen die zekerlijk uitvoeren.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

In quel giorno piegheremo i cieli nello stesso modo che l’angelo Sidjil piega i fogli scritti. Come noi abbiamo prodotto la creazione, egualmente la faremo rientrare. Questa promessa ci obbliga, noi la manterremo.
