وَقَالَتِ ٱلْيَهُودُ لَيْسَتِ ٱلنَّصَـٰرَىٰ عَلَىٰ شَىْءٍ وَقَالَتِ ٱلنَّصَـٰرَىٰ لَيْسَتِ ٱلْيَهُودُ عَلَىٰ شَىْءٍ وَهُمْ يَتْلُونَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ ۗ كَذَٰلِكَ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهِمْ ۚ فَٱللَّهُ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ فِيمَا كَانُوا۟ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ

Translations of Quran 2:113
EnglishTalal Itani

The Jews say, “The Christians are not based on anything”; and the Christians say, “The Jews are not based on anything.” Yet they both read the Scripture. Similarly, the ignorant said the same thing. Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection regarding their differences.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And the Jews say the Christians follow nothing (true), and the Christians say the Jews follow nothing (true); yet both are readers of the Scripture. Even thus speak those who know not. Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that wherein they differ.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Yehud dedi ki: «Nasara hiç bir şey üzerinde değil» Nasara da dedi ki: «Yehud, hiç bir şey üzerinde değil» halbuki hepsi de kitab okuyorlar; İlmi olmıyanlar da tıpkı öyle onların dedikleri gibi dedi, onun için Allah ihtilâf etmekde oldukları davada Kıyamet günü beyinlerinde hükmünü verecekdir

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Les juifs disent : Les chrétiens ne s’appuient sur rien ; les chrétiens, de leur côté, disent : Les juifs ne s’appuient sur rien ; et cependant les uns et les autres ils lisent les Écritures ; ceux qui ne connaissent rien tiennent un langage pareil. Au jour de la résurrection, Dieu prononcera entre eux sur l’objet de la dispute.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

De Joden zeggen: De Christenen gronden zich op niets, de Christenen zeggen: de Joden gronden zich op niets, en toch lezen beiden de schriften. Zij die niets kennen, spreken evenzoo. Maar God zal eens, op den dag der opstanding, datgene beslechten, waarover zij thans oneenig zijn.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Gli ebrei dicono: I cristiani non s’appoggiano su nulla; e i cristiani anch’essi dicono: Gli ebrei non s’appoggiano su nulla; e nonostante gli uni e gli altri leggono le Scritture; coloro che non conoscono niente tengono simile linguaggio. Il giorno della resurrezione Dio pronunzierà su questa disputa.
