Translations of Quran 7:28
EnglishTalal Itani

And when they commit an indecency, they say, “We found our parents doing this, and Allah has commanded us to do it.” Say, “Allah does not command indecencies. Are you attributing to Allah what you do not know?”

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And when they do some lewdness they say: We found our fathers doing it and Allah hath enjoined it on us. Say: Allah, verily, enjoineth not lewdness. Tell ye concerning Allah that which ye know not?

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Ve bir edebsizlik yaptıkları zaman da atalarımızı böyle bulduk ve bize bunu Allah emretti derler, Allah, de, edebsizliği emretmez, bilmediğiniz şeyleri Allahın üzerine mi atıyorsunuz?

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Quand les pervers ont commis quelque turpitude, ils disent : Nous l’avons vu pratiquer par nos pères, c’est Dieu qui le commande. Dis-leur : Dieu n’ordonne point d’actions infâmes ; allez-vous dire de Dieu ce que vous ne savez pas ?

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

En als zij eene zondige daad hebben bedreven, zeggen zij: Wij hebben het door onze vaderen zien verrichten; God heeft het bevolen. Zeg hun; God beveelt geene schandelijke daden; zegt gij van God wat gij niet weet?

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Quando i perversi hanno commessa qualche azione infame, dicono: L’abbiamo veduta praticare dai nostri padri, è Dio che lo comanda. Di’ loro: Dio non ordina le azioni infami; Direte di Dio ciò che non sapete?
