Translations of Quran 7:37
EnglishTalal Itani

Who does greater wrong than he who invents lies about Allah, or denies His revelations? These—their share of the decree will reach them. Until, when Our envoys come to them, to take their souls away, they will say, “Where are they whom you used to pray to besides Allah?” They will say, “They have abandoned us,” and they will testify against themselves that they were faithless.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

Who doeth greater wrong than he who inventeth a lie concerning Allah or denieth Our tokens. (For such) their appointed portion of the Book (of destiny) reacheth them till, when Our messengers come to gather them, they say: Where (now) is that to which ye cried beside Allah? They say: They have departed from us. And they testify against themselves that they were disbelievers.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Zira bir yalanı Allaha iftirâ eden veya onun âyetlerine yalan diyen kimseden daha zâlim kim olabilir? Bunlara kitâbdan nasîbları irirşir, nihayet kendilerine göndereceğimiz Melekler gelib canlarını alırlarken, hani o, Allahı bırakıb da taptıklarınız nerede? Dediklerinde «onlar bizi bıraktılar da gaib oldular» derler ve kâfir idiklerine kendi aleylerinde şâhidlik ederler

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Qui est plus impie que celui qui forge des mensonges sur le compte de Dieu, ou qui traite ses signes d’imposture ? À ces hommes une part des biens de ce monde, conformément au Livre éternel, sera accordée jusqu’au moment où nos envoyés, en les recueillant, leur demanderont : Ou sont les idoles que vous invoquiez à côté de Dieu ? Ils répondront : Elles ont disparu ; et ils témoigneront ainsi eux-mêmes qu’ils étaient infidèles.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

En wie is onrechtvaardiger dan hij, die een leugen tegen God smeedt, of zijne teekens van valschheid beschuldigt? Aan die menschen zal, ingevolge het eeuwige boek, een deel van het goede dezer wereld worden toegekend, tot op het oogenblik, dat onze zendelingen, terwijl zij hen oproepen, hun zullen vragen: Waar zijn de afgoden, die gij naast God hebt aangeroepen? Zij zullen antwoorden: Zij zijn van ons verdwenen; en zij zullen tegen zich zelven getuigen, dat zij ongeloovigen waren.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Chi evvi più empio di colui che fabbrica bugie sul conto di Dio, o che tratta d’imposture le sue dottrine? A questi uomini sarà accordata una parte dei beni di questo mondo, conforme al libro eterno, fino al momento in cui i nostri inviati, ricevendo la loro anima, domanderanno loro: Dove sono gl’idoli che invocavate escludendo Dio? Essi risponderanno: Sono disparsi; e confesseranno così da loro stessi che erano infedeli.
