Translations of Quran 7:71
EnglishTalal Itani

He said, “Condemnation and wrath have befallen you from your Lord. Are you arguing with me over names, which you and your ancestors invented, for which Allah sent down no authority? Just wait; I am waiting with you.”

EnglishPickthall, 1930

He said: Terror and wrath from your Lord have already fallen on you. Would ye wrangle with me over names which ye have named, ye and your fathers, for which no warrant from Allah hath been revealed? Then await (the consequence), lo! I (also) am of those awaiting (it).

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

İşte, dedi, üzerinize rabbınızdan bir azab fırtınası bir gadab indi, siz bana sizin ve atalarınızın taktığı kuru isimler hakkında mücadele mi ediyorsunuz? Allah onlara hiç bir zaman öyle bir hakkı saltanat indirmedi artık gözetin ben de sizinle beraber gözetenlerdenim

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Bientôt, reprit-il, la vengeance et la colère de Dieu vont fondre sur vous. Disputerez-vous avec moi sur les noms que vous et vos pères avez donnés aux divinités, au sujet desquelles Dieu ne vous a accordé aucun pouvoir ? Attendez seulement, et moi j’attendrai aussi avec vous.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Hoed antwoordde: Thans zullen weldra Gods wraak en toorn op u nederkomen. Wilt gij met mij twisten over de namen welke gij en uwe vaderen hebt genoemd, en waartoe God u geene macht heeft gegeven? Wacht daarop, dan zal ik een dergenen zijn die met u wachten.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Egli rispose: Quanto prima vi colpirà la vendetta, e la collera di Dio. E disputerete con me sui nomi che i vostri padri hanno dato alle divinità alle quali Dio non vi ha autorizzato? Aspettate solamente, ed io ancora aspetterò con voi.
