Translations of Quran 22:36
EnglishTalal Itani

We have made the animal offerings emblems of Allah for you. In them is goodness for you. So pronounce Allah’s name upon them as they line up. Then, when they have fallen on their sides, eat of them and feed the contented and the beggar. Thus We have subjected them to you, that you may be thankful.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And the camels! We have appointed them among the ceremonies of Allah. Therein ye have much good. So mention the name of Allah over them when they are drawn up in lines. Then when their flanks fall (dead), eat thereof and feed the beggar and the suppliant. Thus have We made them subject unto you, that haply ye may give thanks.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Hem o bedeneler, o güvdeli hayvanlar - var â biz onları Allah şeâirinden kıldık, sizin için onlarda hayır vardır, binaenaleyh ön ayaklarının biri bağlı olarak bir düzüye üzerlerine Allahın ismini anın, yanları yere yaslandığı vakıt da onlardan yiyin, kanaatliye ve istiyene ıt'am da edin, o böyle onları size müsahhar kıldı ki şükr edesiniz

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Nous avons destiné les chameaux pour servir aux rites des sacrifices ; vous y trouvez aussi d’autres avantages. Prononcez donc le nom de Dieu sur ceux que vous allez immoler. Ils doivent rester debout sur trois pieds, attachés par le quatrième. Quand la victime est tombée, mangez-en, et donnez-en à celui qui se contente de ce qu’on lui donne, ainsi qu’à celui qui en demande. Nous vous les avons soumis, afin que vous soyez reconnaissants.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

De kameelen voor offeranden gedood, hebben wij u aangewezen als zinnebeelden van uwe gehoorzaamheid aan God; ook verkrijgt gij andere voordeelen van hen. Herdenk dus den naam van God over hen, als gij hen doodt, in de juiste orde op hunne voeten staande, en als zij dood zijn nedergevallen eet dan er van, en geef er van te eten, zoowel aan hem, die tevreden is met hetgeen hem gegeven wordt, zonder dat hij vraagt, als aan hem die vraagt. Zoo hebben wij u de oppermacht over hen gegeven, opdat gij ons dankbaar zoudt zijn.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Abbiamo destinato i cammelli per servire ai riti dei sagrifizi: vi troverete anche dei vantaggi. Proferite dunque il nome di Dio su quelli (animali) che immolate. Devono restare su tre piedi, attaccati pel quarto. Quando la vittima cade, mangiatene, e datene a colui che si contenta di ciò che gli si da, come anche a colui che ne domanda. Noi ve li abbiamo sottomessi, acciocchè siate riconoscenti.
