Translations of Quran 57:16
EnglishTalal Itani

Is it not time for those who believe to surrender their hearts to the remembrance of Allah, and to the truth that has come down, and not be like those who were given the Book previously, but time became prolonged for them, so their hearts hardened, and many of them are sinners?

EnglishPickthall, 1930

Is not the time ripe for the hearts of those who believe to submit to Allah's reminder and to the truth which is revealed, that they become not as those who received the scripture of old but the term was prolonged for them and so their hearts were hardened, and many of them are evil-livers.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Ye o iyman edenlere çağı gelmedi mi? ki kalbleri Allahın zikrine ve inen hak aşkına huşu' ile çoşsun ve bundan evvel kendilerine kitab verilmiş sonra üzerlerinden uzun zaman geçip de kalbleri katılaşmış ve ekserîsi fiska dalmış bulunanlar gibi olmasınlar

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Le temps n’est-il pas déjà venu pour les croyants d’humilier leurs cœurs devant l’avertissement de Dieu et devant le Livre de la vérité qu’il a envoyé ? Qu’ils ne ressemblent pas à ceux qui avaient précédemment reçu le Livre, dont les cœurs s’endurcissent avec le temps, et parmi lesquels une grande partie sont des pervers.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Is de tijd thans niet gekomen voor hen die gelooven, dat hunne harten zich ootmoedig aan de waarschuwing van God zouden onderwerpen, en aan de waarheid, welke geopenbaard is geworden? Dat zij niet zijn als degenen, aan wie de schrift vroeger werd gegeven, en voor welke de tijd van toegevendheid werd verlengd? Maar hunne harten waren versteend, en velen van hen waren zondaren.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Non è egli già arrivato il tempo per i credenti d’umiliare il loro cuore dinanzi l’avvertimento di Dio, e dinanzi il Libro della verità ch’egli ha mandato? Che non somiglino a coloro che avevano ricevuto da prima il Libro, e i di cui cuori s’indurano col tempo, e fra i quali una gran parte sono perversi.
