Translations of Quran 57:10
EnglishTalal Itani

And why is it that you do not spend in the cause of Allah, when to Allah belongs the inheritance of the heavens and the earth? Not equal among you are those who contributed before the conquest, and fought. Those are higher in rank than those who contributed afterwards, and fought. But Allah promises both a good reward. Allah is Well-Experienced in what you do.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And what aileth you that ye spend not in the way of Allah when unto Allah belongeth the inheritance of the heavens and the earth? Those who spent and fought before the victory are not upon a level (with the rest of you). Such are greater in rank than those who spent and fought afterwards. Unto each hath Allah promised good. And Allah is Informed of what ye do.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Hem Allah yolunda neye infak etmiyesiniz ki. Göklerin, Yerin miyrası zaten Allah'ın [hepsi ona kalacaktır], fetihden evvel infak edip çarpışanlarınız diğerlerine müsavi olmaz, onlar sonradan infak edip çarpışanlardan derece i'tibariyle daha büyüktür, Bununla beraber hepsine de Allah hüsnayı va'd buyurdu. Allah her ne yaparsanız da habîrdir.

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Qu’avez-vous pour ne point dépenser votre voir dans le sentier de Dieu, quand l’héritage des cieux et de la terre appartient à Dieu seul ? Celui d’entre vous qui a donné de son avoir avant la victoire, et qui a combattu de sa personne, ne sera point traité à l’égal de celui qui n’en a rien fait. Celui-là occupera un degré plus élevé que ceux qui auront offert leurs richesses après la victoire et combattu depuis. Mais Dieu a promis aux uns et aux autres une belle récompense. IL est instruit de vos actions.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

En wat scheelt u, dat gij niet van uw vermogen bijdraagt, voor de verdediging van Gods waren godsdienst, daar Gode de erfenis van hemel en aarde behoort? Degenen van u, die van hun goed zullen hebben bijgedragen tot, en gestreden zullen hebben voor de verdediging van het geloof, vóór de inneming van Mekka, zullen niet gelijk gesteld worden met hen, die naderhand daartoe bijgedragen en medegestreden zullen hebben). Zij zullen hooger in rang staan dan degenen, die na de hierboven vermelde overwinning ter verspreiding van het geloof zullen bijdragen en strijden; maar aan allen heeft God de meest uitmuntende belooning toegezegd; en God weet wel wat gij doet.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Che avete voi per non ispendere il vostro avere nel sentiero di Dio, mentre l’eredità dei cieli, e della terra appartiene a Dio solo? Colui che avrà fatta parte del suo avere prima della vittoria, e che avrà combattuto colla sua persona, non sarà trattato similmente (a colui che non ha fatto nulla). Quegli occuperà un grado più alto di colui che avrà offerte le proprie ricchezze dopo la vittoria, e combattuto dipoi. Ma Dio ha promesso agli uni ed agli altri una bella ricompensa. Egli è istrutto delle vostre azioni.
