Translations of Quran 40:29
EnglishTalal Itani

O my people! Yours is the dominion today, supreme in the land; but who will help us against Allah’s might, should it fall upon us?” Pharaoh said, “I do not show you except what I see, and I do not guide you except to the path of prudence.”

EnglishPickthall, 1930

O my people! Yours is the kingdom to-day, ye being uppermost in the land. But who would save us from the wrath of Allah should it reach us? Pharaoh said: I do but show you what I think, and I do but guide you to wise policy.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Ey benim kavmim! Bu gün mülk sizin, Arzda yüze çıkmış bulunuyorsunuz, fakat Allahın hışmından bizi kim kurtarır şayed gelirse bize? Fir'avn, ben, dedi: size re'yimden başkasını göstermem ve her halde ben size reşad yolunu gösteriyorum

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

O mon peuple !disait-il encore, aujourd’hui le pouvoir est à vous, pendant que vous êtes puissants dans ce pays-ci (en Égypte) ; mais qui nous défendra contre la colère de Dieu si elle nous atteint ? Je ne vous fais voir, répondit Pharaon, que ce que je vois moi-même, et je vous guide sur un chemin droit.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

O mijn volk! heden is u het koninkrijk, en gij zijt machtig; maar wie zal ons tegen den geesel van God verdedigen, als die op ons nederkomt. Pharao zeide: Ik stel u alleen voor, wat mij het geschiktste dunkt, en ik leid u alleen op het rechte pad.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Popolo mio! (diceva ancora) oggi voi comandate, e fate bella figura sulla terra; ma chi ci difenderà contro l’ira di Dio se ci visiterà? Io non vi fo vedere, rispose Faraone, che ciò che veggo io stesso, e vi guido sopra una strada dritta.
