ثُمَّ قَفَّيْنَا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَـٰرِهِم بِرُسُلِنَا وَقَفَّيْنَا بِعِيسَى ٱبْنِ مَرْيَمَ وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُ ٱلْإِنجِيلَ وَجَعَلْنَا فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱتَّبَعُوهُ رَأْفَةً وَرَحْمَةً وَرَهْبَانِيَّةً ٱبْتَدَعُوهَا مَا كَتَبْنَـٰهَا عَلَيْهِمْ إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ رِضْوَٰنِ ٱللَّهِ فَمَا رَعَوْهَا حَقَّ رِعَايَتِهَا ۖ فَـَٔاتَيْنَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنْهُمْ أَجْرَهُمْ ۖ وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَـٰسِقُونَ

Translations of Quran 57:27
EnglishTalal Itani

Then We sent in their wake Our messengers, and followed up with Jesus son of Mary, and We gave him the Gospel, and instilled in the hearts of those who followed him compassion and mercy. But as for the monasticism which they invented—We did not ordain it for them—only to seek Allah’s approval. But they did not observe it with its due observance. So We gave those of them who believed their reward, but many of them are sinful.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

Then We caused Our messengers to follow in their footsteps; and We caused Jesus, son of Mary, to follow, and gave him the Gospel, and placed compassion and mercy in the hearts of those who followed him. But monasticism they invented - We ordained it not for them - only seeking Allah's pleasure, and they observed it not with right observance. So We give those of them who believe their reward, but many of them are evil-livers.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Sonra onların izleri üzerinde Resullerimizle ta'kıyb ettik, bir de Meryemin oğlu Isa ile ta'kıyb ettik ve ona İncili verdik ve ona tabi' olanların kalblerinde bir rıkkat bir merhamet yarattık, bir de rehbaniyyet ki onu onlar ibda' ettiler, biz onu üzerlerine yazmamıştık, ancak Allah rızasını aramak için yaptılar, sonra da ona hakkıyle riayet etmediler, biz de içlerinden iyman etmiş olanlara ecirlerini verdik, çokları ise yoldan çıkmış fâsıklardır

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Nous envoyâmes sur leurs traces d’autres apôtres, comme Jésus, fils de Marie, à qui nous donnâmes l’Évangile ; nous mîmes dans les cœurs des disciples qui les ont suivis la douleur, la compassion ; la vie monastique, ce sont eux-mêmes qui l’ont inventée. Nous n’avons prescrit que le désir de plaire à Dieu ; mais ils ne l’ont point observé comme ils le devaient. Nous avons donné la récompense à ceux d’entre aux qui ont cru, mais la plupart sont des pervers.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Daarna deden wij onze gezanten in hunne voetstappen treden, en wij deden hen door Jezus, den zoon van Maria, opvolgen, wien wij het evangelie gaven, en wij stortten medelijden en liefderijkheid in de harten van degenen, die hen volgden. Maar wat den monnikenstand betreft, zij stelden dien zelven in, wij schreven hun dien niet voor; wij schreven alleen de begeerte voor, Gode te behagen; maar zij namen het niet in acht, zooals het in acht genomen moest worden. En wij gaven hun, die geloofden, hunne belooning; maar velen van hen waren zondaren.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Mandammo sulle loro traccie altri apostoli, come Gesù figlio di Maria, a cui demmo il Vangelo; ponemmo nel cuore dei discepoli che li han seguiti, la dolcezza, e la compassione; essi stessi hanno inventata la vita monastica. Non abbiamo prescritto che il desiderio di piacere a Dio, ma essi non l’hanno osservato come dovevano. Abbiamo data la ricompensa a coloro che hanno creduto, ma sono nella maggior parte perversi.
