EnglishTalal Itani

Then, when he came to them with the truth from Us, they said, “Kill the sons of those who have believed with him, and spare their daughters.” But the scheming of the unbelievers can only go astray.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And when he brought them the Truth from Our presence, they said: Slay the sons of those who believe with him, and spare their women. But the plot of disbelievers is in naught but error.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Bunun üzerine kendilerine tarafımızdan hakkı getiriverince de onunla beraber iyman etmiş olanların oğullarını öldürün, kadınlarını diri tutun dediler, kâfirlerin düzeni de hep dalâl içinde

Lorsqu’il vint à eux, leur apportant la vérité qui venait de nous, ils s’écrièrent : Mettez à mort ceux qui le suivent, n’épargnez que leurs femmes ; mais les stratagèmes des incrédules s’égarèrent et échouèrent.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

En toen hij met waarheid van ons tot hen kwam, zeiden zij: Doodt de zonen van hen, die met hem hebben geloofd, en redt het leven hunner dochters; maar de list der ongeloovigen was ijdel.

Quando egli venne ad essi, recando loro la verità da parte nostra, gridarono: Uccidete quei che lo seguono, risparmiate soltanto le loro donne; ma gli strattagemmi degl’increduli furono inutili, e non riuscirono.
