Quran 40:5
كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ وَٱلْأَحْزَابُ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ ۖ وَهَمَّتْ كُلُّ أُمَّةٍۭ بِرَسُولِهِمْ لِيَأْخُذُوهُ ۖ وَجَـٰدَلُوا۟ بِٱلْبَـٰطِلِ لِيُدْحِضُوا۟ بِهِ ٱلْحَقَّ فَأَخَذْتُهُمْ ۖ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ عِقَابِ
| EnglishTalal Itani | Before them the people of Noah rejected the truth, as did the confederates after them. Every community plotted against their messenger, to capture him. And they argued with falsehood, to defeat with it the truth. But I seized them. What a punishment it was! |

| EnglishPickthall, 1930 | The folk of Noah and the factions after them denied (their messengers) before these, and every nation purposed to seize their messenger and argued falsely, (thinking) thereby to refute the Truth. Then I seized them, and how (awful) was My punishment. |
| TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935 | Onlardan evvel Nuhun kavmı arkalarından da Ahzab tekzib etmişlerdi ve her ümmet kendi Resullerini yakalamak kasdinde bulundu ve hakkı batılla gidermek için boşuna mücadele ettiler de ben onları tuttum alıverdim o vakıt nasıl oldu ıkabım? |
| FrenchKazimirski, 1840 | Avant eux, le peuple de Noé l’a traité d’imposteur ; après ceux-là, tant d’autres partis en ont fait autant. Chaque peuple tramait des machinations contre ses prophètes, et voulait s’en saisir par force ; on combattait avec le mensonge pour en étouffer la vérité ; mais je les ai saisis tous, et voyez quel a été mon châtiment, |
| DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French | Het volk van Noach en de verbonden ongeloovigen, die na hen kwamen, beschuldigden hunne verschillende profeten van bedrog, en ieder volk broedde slechte plannen tegen zijne profeten, opdat zij hen in hunne macht zouden krijgen; en zij twistten met ijdele woorden, om daardoor de waarheid krachteloos te maken. Deswege kastijdde ik hen, en hoe gestreng was mijne straf. |
| ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French | Prima di loro, il popolo di Noè l’ha trattato d’impostore, dopo loro, tanti altri partiti han fatto altrettanto. Ogni popolo tramava insidie contro i suoi profeti, e voleva impadronirsene per forza; si combatteva colla menzogna per soffocare la verità; ma io li ho colpiti tutti, e con qual gastigo! |
