Translations of Quran 35:45
EnglishTalal Itani

If Allah were to punish the people for what they have earned, He would not leave a single living creature on its surface. But He defers them until a stated time. Then, when their time has arrived—Allah is Observant of His creatures.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

If Allah took mankind to task by that which they deserve, He would not leave a living creature on the surface of the earth; but He reprieveth them unto an appointed term, and when their term cometh - then verily (they will know that) Allah is ever Seer of His slaves.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Bununla beraber Allah insanları kesibleriyle hemen muâhaze ediverecek olsa yer yüzünde bir deprenen bırakmazdı ve lâkin müsemmâ bir ecele kadar onları te'hır buyurur, nihayet ecelleri geldiği vakıt işte o vakıt, şübhe yok ki Allah kullarını basîr bulunuyor

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Si Dieu avait voulu punir les hommes selon leurs œuvres, il n’aurait pas laissé, à l’heure qu’il est, un seul reptile à la surface de la terre ; mais il vous donne un délai jusqu’au terme marqué. Lorsque le terme sera arrivé… Certes, Dieu voit ses serviteurs.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Indien God de menschen strafte naar gelang van hetgeen zij bedrijven, zou hij zelfs geen dier op de oppervlakte der aarde hebben gelaten; maar hij schenkt u uitstel tot een bepaalden tijd. En als hun tijd zal zijn gekomen, waarlijk, dan zal God zijne dienaren beschouwen.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Se Dio avesse voluto punire gli uomini secondo le loro opere, non avrebbe lasciato a quest’ora alcun rettile sulla superficie della terra; ma vi dà tempo fino al termine stabilito. Quando il termine sarà arrivato.... certamente Dio vede i suoi servi.
