And We scattered them into communities on earth. Some of them righteous, and some of them short of that. And We tested them with fortunes and misfortunes, so that they may return.

And We have sundered them in the earth as (separate) nations. Some of them are righteous, and some far from that. And We have tried them with good things and evil things that haply they might return.

Ve onları yer yüzünde bir çok ümmetlere parçaladık, içlerinden salihleri de vardı, beri benzerleri de. Ve onları kâh ni'met ve kâh musibet ile imtihan da ettik ki rücu' ederler

Nous les avons morcelés sur la terre et partagés en peuplades. Il y en a qui sont vertueux, et d’autres qui ne le sont pas. Nous les avons éprouvés par le bien et par le mal, afin qu’ils reviennent à nous.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

En wij verstrooiden hen onder de volkeren der aarde. Sommigen van hen zijn deugdzame personen, en sommigen van hen zijn anders. En wij beproefden hen door voor- en tegenspoed, opdat zij van hunne ongehoorzaamheid mochten terugkeeren.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Noi li abbiamo sparsi sulla terra formando più popoli distinti. Ve ne sono de’ virtuosi, e d’altri che non lo sono. Li abbiamo provati colle buone, e con le cattive, affinchè tornassero a noi.
