Translations of Quran 7:51
EnglishTalal Itani

Those who took their religion lightly, and in jest, and whom the worldly life deceived. Today We will ignore them, as they ignored the meeting on this Day of theirs, and they used to deny Our revelations.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

Who took their religion for a sport and pastime, and whom the life of the world beguiled. So this day We have forgotten them even as they forgot the meeting of this their Day and as they used to deny Our tokens.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

O kâfirlere ki oyunu, eğlenceyi kendilerine din edindiler, ve o Dünya hayat kendilerini aldattı, onlar bu günlerine mülâkı olacaklarını unuttukları ve âyetlerimizi inkâr ettikleri gibi biz de bu gün onları unutacağız

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Qui ont fait de la religion leur jouet et l’objet de leurs railleries, pendant que la vie de monde les a rendus aveugles. Nous les oublions aujourd’hui comme ils ont oublié ce jour de leur comparution, et parce qu’ils ont nié la vérité de nos signes.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Die van den godsdienst hun spel en het onderwerp hunner spotternijen hebben gemaakt, terwijl het ondermaansche leven hen verblindde; daarom zullen wij dezen dag hen vergeten, gelijk zij de verzameling van dezen dag vergaten, en dewijl zij het loochenden, dat onze teekens die van God waren.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Che hanno fatto della religione un giuoco, e l’oggetto dei loro sarcasmi, che la vita del mondo ha resi ciechi. Noi li scordiamo oggi, come essi hanno scordato il giorno della resurrezione, e perchè hanno negata la verità de’ nostri segni.
