وَإِلَىٰ مَدْيَنَ أَخَاهُمْ شُعَيْبًا ۗ قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مَا لَكُم مِّنْ إِلَـٰهٍ غَيْرُهُۥ ۖ قَدْ جَآءَتْكُم بَيِّنَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ ۖ فَأَوْفُوا۟ ٱلْكَيْلَ وَٱلْمِيزَانَ وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا۟ ٱلنَّاسَ أَشْيَآءَهُمْ وَلَا تُفْسِدُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ إِصْلَـٰحِهَا ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ

Translations of Quran 7:85
EnglishTalal Itani

And to Midian, their brother Shuaib. He said, “O my people, worship Allah; you have no god other than Him. A clear proof has come to you from your Lord. Give full measure and weight, and do not cheat people out of their rights, and do not corrupt the land once it has been set right. This is better for you, if you are believers.”

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And unto Midian (We sent) their brother, Shu'eyb. He said: O my people! Serve Allah. Ye have no other Allah save Him. Lo! a clear proof hath come unto you from your Lord; so give full measure and full weight and wrong not mankind in their goods, and work not confusion in the earth after the fair ordering thereof. That will be better for you, if ye are believers.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Medyen kavmine de kardeşleri Şuayb Peygamberi: Ey kavmim, dedi: Allaha kulluk edin, ondan başka bir ilâhınız daha yok, işte size rabbınızdan bir beyyine geldi, artık kileyi, teraziyi tam tutun, nâsın eşyasına haksızlık etmeyin, yer yüzünü ıslahından sonra yine fesada vermeyin, bana inanırsanız bu söylediklerim sizin için hayırlıdır

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Nous avons envoyé vers les Madianites Choaïb leur frère, qui leur dit : O mon peuple ! Adore Dieu ; pourquoi adorerais-tu d’autres divinités que lui ? Un signe évident du ciel vous a apparu. Observez rigoureusement la mesure et le poids ; n’enlevez point aux hommes leur dû, ne commettez pas de désordres sur la terre quand tout y a déjà été disposé pour le mieux. Cela vous sera plus avantageux si vous voulez le croire.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

En tot Madian zonden wij hunnen broeder Shoaïb. Hij zeide tot hen: O mijn volk! aanbid God, gij hebt geen God buiten hem. Thans is een duidelijk teeken van uwen Heer tot u gekomen. Geef dus volle maat en ruim gewicht; ontneem den menschen niet wat hun verschuldigd is, en handel nimmer slecht op aarde, na hare hervorming. Dit zal beter voor u zijn, indien gij gelooft.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Mandammo verso i Madianiti Choaib loro fratello, che disse: Popolo mio! adora Dio; perchè adoreresti altre divinità? Un segno evidente del Cielo vi è apparso. Osservate rigorosamente il peso, e la misura; non defraudate ciò che è dovuto; non propagate il male sulla terra quando essa è stata migliorata. Ciò vi sarà più vantaggioso, se volete crederlo.
