Translations of Quran 7:74
EnglishTalal Itani

“And remember how He made you successors after Aad, and settled you in the land. You make for yourselves mansions on its plains, and carve out dwellings in the mountains. So remember Allah’s benefits, and do not roam the earth corruptingly.”

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And remember how He made you viceroys after A'ad and gave you station in the earth. Ye choose castles in the plains and hew the mountains into dwellings. So remember (all) the bounties of Allah and do not evil, making mischief in the earth.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Ve düşünün ki o, sizi Âdden sonra hulefa yaptı ve bu Arzda sizi yerleştirdi, düzlüklerinden köşkler ediniyorsunuz ve dağlarından evler yontuyorsunuz, artık hep Allahın eltafını zikredin de yer yüzünü fesadcılıkla berbad etmeyin

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Souvenez-vous que Dieu vous a fait succéder au peuple d’Ad, qu’il vous a établis sur la terre, où, du milieu de ses plaines, vous élevez des châteaux, ou vous taillez des rochers en maisons. Souvenez-vous des bienfaits du ciel, et ne vous répandez pas sur la terre pour y commettre des désordres.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

En herinner u dat hij u heeft aangewezen tot opvolgers van den stam van Ad, en u eene woning op de aarde heeft aangewezen; in hare valleien bouwt gij u kasteelen en de rotsen bouwt gij tot huizen uit. Herinner u dus Gods weldaden, en doe daarom geen geweld op aarde door slecht te handelen.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Ricordatevi che Dio vi ha fatto succedere al popolo di Ad, e che vi ha stabiliti sulla terra, dove, in mezzo alle pianure inalzate fortezze, dove di scogli formate delle case. Ricordatevi i benefizi di Dio, e non vi spandete sulla terra per arrecarvi il disordine.
