Translations of Quran 41:5
EnglishTalal Itani

And they say, “Our hearts are screened from what you call us to, and in our ears is deafness, and between us and you is a barrier. So do what you want, and so will we.”

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And they say: Our hearts are protected from that unto which thou (O Muhammad) callest us, and in our ears there is a deafness, and between us and thee there is a veil. Act, then. Lo! we also shall be acting.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Ve şöyle demektedirler: kalblerimiz senin bizi çağırdığın şeyden örtüler içinde, kulaklarımızda da bir ağırlık var, ve seninle bizim aramızdan bir gerki çekilmiştir, haydi yap yapacağını, çünkü biz yapıyoruz

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Ils disent : Nos cœurs sont enveloppés dans des replis et fermés pour le culte auquel vous nous appelez ; une pesanteur siège dans nos oreilles ; un voile nous sépare de vous ; agis comme il te plaît, et nous agirons comme il nous plaira.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

En zij zeggen: onze harten zijn gesluierd voor de leer waartoe gij ons uitnoodigt; er is doofheid in onze ooren, en eene gordijn tusschen ons en ulieden; handel dus zooals gij gepast zult oordeelen; want wij zullen handelen overeenkomstig onze eigene gevoelens.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Dicono I nostri cuori sono (avviluppati) in invoglie, (e chiusi) al culto al quale ci chiamate; siamo sordi; un velo ci separa da voi. Agite (come vi piace), e noi agiremo (come ci piacerà).
