Elbette âyetlerimizi tekzib eden ve onlara iymanı kibirlerine yediremiyen kimselere Semanın kapıları açılmaz ve cemel iğnenin deliğinden geçinceye kadar onlar Cennete girmezler, işte mücrimleri biz böyle cezâlandırırız

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Certes, ceux qui ont traite nos signes de mensonges et qui les ont dédaignés, les portes du ciel ne s’ouvriront point pour eux ; ils n’entreront au jardin que quand un chameau passera par le trou d’une aiguille C’est ainsi que nous récompenserons les criminels.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Waarlijk, hun die onze teekens van valschheid zullen beschuldigen, en deze trotsch verwerpen, hun zullen de deuren des hemels niet geopend worden; nimmer zullen zij het paradijs binnentreden, tot een kemel door het oog van eene naald gaat, en zóó zullen wij de boosdoeners beloonen.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Certamente, quei che hanno trattato di bugie le nostre dottrine, e che le hanno disprezzate, non riusciranno a far aprire le porte del Cielo; non entreranno in paradiso che quando un camelo passerà il foro d’un ago. Così noi ricompenseremo i colpevoli.
