Translations of Quran 40:12
EnglishTalal Itani

That is because when Allah alone was called upon, you disbelieved; but when others were associated with Him, you believed. Judgment rests with Allah the Sublime, the Majestic.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

(It is said unto them): This is (your plight) because, when Allah only was invoked, ye disbelieved, but when some partner was ascribed to Him ye were believing. But the command belongeth only to Allah, the Sublime, the Majestic.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

İşte bu size şu yüzdendir ki bir olarak Allaha çağırıldığında küfrettiniz ona şirk koşulunca ise iyman ediyordunuz, işte huküm o ulu, o büyük Allahın

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Voilà ce que vous aurez, vous qui n’avez point cru quand on vous prêchait le Dieu unique, et qui vous montriez croyants toutes les fois qu’on lui donnait des compagnons. Mais la décision suprême appartient à Dieu, le Haut, le Grand.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

En men zal hun antwoorden: Dit is u wedervaren, omdat, als er van een eenigen God tot u werd gepredikt, gij niet geloofdet; maar indien eene meervoudigheid van goden met hem werd vereenigd, gij geloofdet; en het oordeel behoort den hoogen, den grooten God.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Ecco ciò che avrete, voi che non avete creduto allorchè vi si predicava il Dio unico, e che vi mostravate credenti tutte le volte che gli si attribuivano de compagni. Ma la decisione suprema appartiene a Dio, l’Alto, il Grande.
