Quran 2:20
يَكَادُ ٱلْبَرْقُ يَخْطَفُ أَبْصَـٰرَهُمْ ۖ كُلَّمَآ أَضَآءَ لَهُم مَّشَوْا۟ فِيهِ وَإِذَآ أَظْلَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَامُوا۟ ۚ وَلَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَذَهَبَ بِسَمْعِهِمْ وَأَبْصَـٰرِهِمْ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
| EnglishTalal Itani | The lightning almost snatches their sight away. Whenever it illuminates for them, they walk in it; but when it grows dark over them, they stand still. Had Allah willed, He could have taken away their hearing and their sight. Allah is Capable of everything. |

| EnglishPickthall, 1930 | The lightning almost snatcheth away their sight from them. As often as it flasheth forth for them they walk therein, and when it darkeneth against them they stand still. If Allah willed, He could destroy their hearing and their sight. Lo! Allah is able to do all things. |
| TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935 | Şimşek nerede ise gözlerini kapıverecek önlerini aydınlattımı ışığında yürüyorlar, karanlık üzerlerine çöktü mü dikilip kalıyorlar, Allah dilemiş olsa idi elbet işitmelerini görmelerini de alıverirdi, şüphe yok ki Allah her şeye kadir, daima kadirdir |
| FrenchKazimirski, 1840 | Verses 20–21 are translated together in this edition. Peu s’en faut que la foudre ne les prive de la vue ; Lorsque l’éclair brille, ils marchent à sa clarté ; et lorsqu’il les plonge dans les ténèbres, ils s’arrêtent. Si Dieu voulait, il leur ôterait la vue et l’ouïe, car il est tout-puissant. Ô hommes ! Adorez votre Seigneur, celui qui vous a créés, vous et ceux qui vous ont précédés. Craignez-moi. |
| DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French | Verses 20–21 are translated together in this edition. Weinig is er slechts noodig, opdat de bliksem hun het gezicht ontroove; als de bliksem alles om hen heen verlicht, wandelen zij in zijn licht; wordt het weder duister om hen heen, dan staan zij onbewegelijk. Als God slechts wilde, zou Hij hen van het gezicht en gehoor berooven; want Hij is Almachtig. Menschen dient uwen Heer, die u en uwen voorgangers heeft geschapen, opdat gij Hem vereert. |
| ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French | Verses 20–21 are translated together in this edition. Poco manca che il fulmine non li privi della vista; quando il lampo illumina camminano, quando è bujo s’arrestano. Se Dio volesse toglierebbe loro la vista e l'udito, poichè è onnipotente. O Uomini ! adorate il vostro Signore, quello che ha creato voi, e coloro che vi hanno preceduto. Temetemi. |
