Translations of Quran 7:96
EnglishTalal Itani

Had the people of the towns believed and turned righteous, We would have opened for them the blessings of the heaven and the earth; but they rejected the truth, so We seized them by what they were doing.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And if the people of the townships had believed and kept from evil, surely We should have opened for them blessings from the sky and from the earth. But (unto every messenger) they gave the lie, and so We seized them on account of what they used to earn.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Eğer o memleketlerin ahalisi iyman edib Allahdan korksaydılar elbette üzerlerine yerden gökten bereketler açardık, ve lâkin tekzib ettiler de kendilerini kesibleriyle tuttuk alıverdik

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Si les habitants des villes avaient voulu croire et craindre Dieu, nous leur aurions ouvert les bénédictions du ciel et de la terre ; mais ils ont traité nos signes de mensonges, et nous les avons châtiés de leurs œuvres.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Maar indien de bewoners dezer steden geloofd en God gevreesd hadden, zouden wij zekerlijk zegeningen over hen hebben uitgestort, zoowel van den hemel als van de aarde. Maar zij beschuldigden onzen apostel van valschheid, zoodat wij ons op hen wreekten voor datgene waaraan zij schuldig waren.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Se gli abitanti delle città avessero voluto credere, e temere Dio, avremmo loro aperte le benedizioni del Cielo, e della terra; ma essi hanno accusati i nostri apostoli d’impostura, e noi li abbiamo gastigati.
