مَن كَانَ يَظُنُّ أَن لَّن يَنصُرَهُ ٱللَّهُ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ فَلْيَمْدُدْ بِسَبَبٍ إِلَى ٱلسَّمَآءِ ثُمَّ لْيَقْطَعْ فَلْيَنظُرْ هَلْ يُذْهِبَنَّ كَيْدُهُۥ مَا يَغِيظُ

Translations of Quran 22:15
EnglishTalal Itani

Whoever thinks that Allah will not help him in this life and in the Hereafter—let him turn to heaven, then sever, and see if his cunning eliminates what enrages him.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

Whoso is wont to think (through envy) that Allah will not give him (Muhammad) victory in the world and the Hereafter (and is enraged at the thought of his victory), let him stretch a rope up to the roof (of his dwelling), and let him hang himself. Then let him see whether his strategy dispelleth that whereat he rageth!

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Her kim, ona Allah Dünyada ve Âhırette aslâ yardım etmez zannediyorsa hemen Semâya bir ip uzatsın sonra nefesini kessin de baksın keydi gayzını giderecek mi?

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Que celui qui pense que Dieu ne le secourra pas (Mohammed) dans ce monde et dans l’autre, allonge la corde vers le ciel et la coupe ; il verra si ses artifices rendront vain ce qui l’irrite.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Laat hij, die denkt dat God zijn gezant in deze wereld en in het toekomstige leven geene hulp zal verleenen, een touw aan den hemel bevestigen en laat hem daarna een eind aan zijn leven maken, en hij zal zien, of zijne kunstgrepen datgene de uitwerking kunnen benemen, welke hem toornig maakt.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Colui che pensa che Dio non l’ajuterà (Maometto) in questo mondo, e nell’altro, allunghi la corda verso il cielo, e la tagli; vedrà se i suoi artifizj renderanno vano ciò che l’irrita.
