Translations of Quran 8:26
EnglishTalal Itani

And remember when you were few, oppressed in the land, fearing that people may capture you; but He sheltered you, and supported you with His victory, and provided you with good things—so that you may be thankful.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And remember, when ye were few and reckoned feeble in the land, and were in fear lest men should extirpate you, how He gave you refuge, and strengthened you with His help, and made provision of good things for you, that haply ye might be thankful.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Ve düşünün ki siz bir vakıt yer yüzünde hırpalanıp duran bir azlıktınız, nâsın sizi çarpıvereceğinden korkardınız, öyle iken o sizi barındırdı, o sizi nusratiyle te'yid buyurdu o size temizlerinden rızıklar verdi ki, şükredesiniz

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Souvenez-vous que, faibles et en petit nombre dans cette contrée, vous craigniez d’être exterminés par vos ennemis ; mais Dieu vous a donné un asile, il vous a protégés de son secours, et a pourvu à votre subsistance. Peut-être lui rendrez-vous des actions de grâces.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

En gedenkt, dat, toen gij zwak en in kleinen getale in het land waart, gij vreesdet door uwe vijanden verdelgd te worden; maar God gaf u een toevluchtsoord, en hij ondersteunde u met zijne hulp, en beschonk u met goede dingen, opdat gij dankbaar zoudt zijn.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Ricordatevi che, deboli, ed in piccolo numero in questa contrada voi temevate di essere sterminati dai vostri nemici; ma Dio vi ha dato un asilo, vi ha protetti col suo soccorso, ed ha provveduto alla vostra sussistenza. Forse che voi lo ringrazierete?
