Lorsqu’ils franchirent ce qu’on leur avait défendu de franchir, nous leur dîmes : Soyez changés en singes refoulés dans la mer. Ton Seigneur déclara alors que de là au jour de la résurrection il enverra contre eux une nation qui leur fera éprouver des maux terribles ; car ton Seigneur est prompt dans ses châtiments, mais il est indulgent et miséricordieux.

En toen zij trotsch weigerden, datgene te laten, wat hun was verboden, zeiden wij tot hen: verandert in apen, en wordt uit de maatschappij der menschen verdreven. En herdenk, hoe uw Heer verklaarde, dat hij den Joden zekerlijk tot den dag der opstanding een volk zou zenden, dat eene harde verdrukking op hen zou uitoefenen; want uw Heer is stipt in bestraffing, doch hij is ook gereed te vergeven en barmhartig.

Quando andarono dove si era loro proibito di andare dicemmo loro: Siate cambiati in scimmie, respinti dalla specie umana. Il tuo Signore dichiarò allora che prima del giorno della resurrezione manderà contr’essi una nazione che farà loro soffrire dei mali terribili, poichè il tuo Signore è pronto ne’ suoi gastighi, ma è indulgente, e misericordioso.
