Translations of Quran 21:3
EnglishTalal Itani

Their hearts distracted, the wrongdoers confer secretly, “Is this anything but a mortal like you? Will you take to sorcery, with open eyes?”

EnglishPickthall, 1930

With hearts preoccupied. And they confer in secret. The wrong-doers say: Is this other than a mortal like you? Will ye then succumb to magic when ye see (it)?

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Kalbleri hep oyunda hem onlar o zalimler şu gizli fısıltıyı sirleştiler: bu sırf sizin gibi, bir beşer artık göre göre sihere mi gidiyorsunuz?

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Leurs cœurs s’en font un passe-temps. Les méchants se disent on secret : Ce Mohammed, est-il donc autre chose qu’un homme comme nous ? Assisterez-vous à ces sorcelleries ? Vous voyez cependant ce qu’il en est.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Hunne harten denken slechts aan vermaken. En zij die onrechtvaardig handelen, spreken heimelijk met elkander, zeggende: Is deze Mahomet iets meer dan een mensch gelijk gij? Wilt gij dus naar een tooverij luisteren, terwijl gij duidelijk bemerkt, dat het niets anders is.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

E ciò per leggerezza di cuore. I malvagi si dicono in segreto: È egli forse altra cosa che un uomo come noi? Assisterete forse alle sue stregonerie? E pure vedete che cosa sono.
