أَفَمَن زُيِّنَ لَهُۥ سُوٓءُ عَمَلِهِۦ فَرَءَاهُ حَسَنًا ۖ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُضِلُّ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ ۖ فَلَا تَذْهَبْ نَفْسُكَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَسَرَٰتٍ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌۢ بِمَا يَصْنَعُونَ

Translations of Quran 35:8
EnglishTalal Itani

What of him whose evil deed was made attractive to him, and so he regards it as good? Allah leads astray whomever He wills, and He guides whomever He wills. Therefore, do not waste yourself sorrowing over them. Allah knows exactly what they do.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

Is he, the evil of whose deeds is made fairseeming unto him so that he deemeth it good, (other than Satan's dupe)? Allah verily sendeth whom He will astray, and guideth whom He will; so let not thy soul expire in sighings for them. Lo! Allah is Aware of what they do!

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Ya artık o kimse de mi ki? Kötü ameli kendisine allanmış pullanmış da onu güzel görmüş, şübhe yok ki Allah dilediğini şaşırtır, dilediğini doğru yola çıkarır, o halde nefsin onlara karşı hasretlerle geçmesin, çünkü Allah onların bütün san'atlerini bilir

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Celui à qui on a présenté de mauvaises actions sous un beau jour, et qui les croit belles, sera-t-il comme celui à qui le contraire arrive ? Dieu égare celui qu’il veut, et dirige celui qu’il veut. Que ton âme, ô Mohammed ! ne s’abîme donc point dans l’affliction sur leur sort. Dieu connaît leurs actions.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Zal dus hij wien slechte daden als goed werden bereid en die zich verbeeldde dat die goed waren, gelijk zijn aan hem, die tot het rechtvaardige gezind is en de waarheid vereert? Waarlijk, God zal doen dwalen naar zijn welbehagen, en zal richten wien hem behaagt. Laat dus uwe ziel, o Mahomet! zich niet door zuchten verteren, wegens hunne weerspannigheid; want God weet wel wat zij doen.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Colui al quale sono state presentate delle cattive azioni sott’un bell’aspetto e che le crede belle (sarà come quello che fa all’opposto)? Dio smarrisce chi vuole, e dirige chi vuole. La tua anima, o Maometto, non si affligga sulla loro sorte. Dio conosce le loro azioni.
