Translations of Quran 2:93
EnglishTalal Itani

And We made a covenant with you, and raised the Mount above you: “Take what We have given you firmly, and listen.” They said, “We hear and disobey.” And their hearts became filled with the love of the calf because of their disbelief. Say, “Wretched is what your faith commands you to do, if you are believers.”

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And when We made with you a covenant and caused the Mount to tower above you, (saying): Hold fast by that which We have given you, and hear (Our Word), they said: We hear and we rebel. And (worship of) the calf was made to sink into their hearts because of their rejection (of the covenant). Say (unto them): Evil is that which your belief enjoineth on you, if ye are believers.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Bir vakit size verdiğimiz kitabı kuvvetle tutun ve dinleyin diye Turu tepenize kaldırıb misakınızı aldık, dinledik ısyan ettik dediler, ve küfürleriyle danayı kalblerinde iliklerine işlettiler, eğer, de: sizler mü'minlerseniz imanınız size ne çirkin şeyler emrediyor?

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Lorsque nous eûmes accepté votre alliance et élevé au-dessus de vos têtes le mont Sinaï, nous fîmes entendre ces paroles : Recevez nos lois avec une ferme résolution de les observer, et écoutez-les. Ils répondirent : Nous avons entendu, mais nous n’obéirons pas ; et leurs cœurs étaient encore abreuvés du culte du veau. Dis-leur : Détestables suggestions que celles que vous inspire votre croyance, si vous en avez une !

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Toen wij een verbond met u sloten en den berg boven u verhieven, zeiden wij: Neemt met vastheid aan wat wij openbaren, en hoort. Zij antwoorden: Wij hoorden het wel, maar wij gehoorzamen niet, en zij moesten het kalf in hun hart drinken. Zeg hun: Een zware taak legt uw geloof u op, zoo ge er een hebt.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Quando noi accettammo la vostra alleanza, ed inalzammo il Monte Sinai sopra le vostre teste, facemmo sentire queste parole: Ricevete le nostre leggi risoluti fermamente di osservarle, e ascoltatele. Essi risposero: Abbiamo inteso, ma non obbediremo; ed i loro cuori erano ancora imbevuti del culto del vitello. Di’loro: Quanto sono detestabili le suggestioni che v’ispira la vostra coscienza, seppure ne avete una!
