Translations of Quran 8:44
EnglishTalal Itani

When you met, He made them appear as few in your eyes, and made you appear fewer in their eyes, so that Allah may conclude a predetermined matter. To Allah all matters revert.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And when He made you (Muslims), when ye met (them), see them with your eyes as few, and lessened you in their eyes, (it was) that Allah might conclude a thing that must be done. Unto Allah all things are brought back.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Ve o vakıt ki karşılaştığınız sıra onları sizin gözlerinizde azaltıyor, sizi de onların gözlerinde azaltıyordu, çünkü Allah o fi'le çıkarılmış olan emri yerine getirecekti, öyle ya bütün işler Allaha irca' olunur

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Quand vous vous trouvâtes en face des ennemis, Dieu les fit voir peu nombreux à vos yeux ; il en diminua le nombre à vos yeux, pour accomplir l’œuvre décrétée dans ses destins. Il est le terme de toutes choses.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

En toen hij hem zich voor u deed vertoonen, deed hij hem weinig talrijk voor uwe oogen schijnen; hij verminderde het getal in uwe oogen, opdat God de zaak zou mogen vervullen, welke hij besloten had te doen; en tot God zullen alle dingen terugkeeren.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Quando vi trovaste in faccia del nemico, Dio ve lo fece distinguere in piccolo numero; ne dimimuì il numero agli occhi vostri per compire l’opera decretata nei suoi destini. Egli è il termine d’ogni cosa.
