Translations of Quran 8:19
EnglishTalal Itani

If you desire a verdict, the verdict has come to you. And if you desist, it would be best for you. And if you return, We will return; and your troops, however numerous, will not benefit you. Allah is with the believers.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

(O Qureysh!) If ye sought a judgment, now hath the judgment come unto you. And if ye cease (from persecuting the believers) it will be better for you, but if ye return (to the attack) We also shall return. And your host will avail you naught, however numerous it be, and (know) that Allah is with the believers (in His Guidance).

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Feth istiyorsanız (ey kâfirler) işte size fetih, ve eğer vaz geçerseniz hakkınızda daha hayırlı olur, yok döner yine başlarsanız biz de başlarız, o vakıt askeriniz çok da olsa size zerre kadar faide vermez, çünkü Allah mü'minlerle beraberdir

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Vous avez désiré la victoire, ô infidèles ! Et la victoire a tourné contre vous. Si vous cessez les premiers de nous combattre, cela vous sera plus avantageux. Si vous y revenez, nous y reviendrons aussi. Votre grand nombre ne vous servira à rien, car Dieu est avec les croyants.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Gij hebt de overwinning verlangd, o ongeloovigen! en de overwinning heeft zich tegen u gekeerd. Indien gij de eersten zijt, die ophoudt den gezant te bestrijden, zal u dat voordeeliger zijn. Maar indien gij terugkeert om hem aan te vallen, zullen wij mede terugkeeren om hem te ondersteunen, en uwe krachten zullen u volstrekt van geen voordeel wezen, alhoewel die ook talrijk mochten zijn; want God is met de geloovigen.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Avete desiderata la vittoria, o infedeli! e la vittoria si è cambiata contro voi. Se cesserete di combatterci, vi sarà più vantaggioso. Se ci ritornerete, anche noi ci ritorneremo. L’essere in gran numero non vi servirà a niente, poichè Dio è coi credenti.
