These will not escape on earth, and they have no protectors besides Allah. The punishment will be doubled for them. They have failed to hear, and they have failed to see.

Such will not escape in the earth, nor have they any protecting friends beside Allah. For them the torment will be double. They could not bear to hear, and they used not to see.

Bunlar Arzda âciz bırakacak değillerdir, kendilerini Allahdan kurtaracak bir hâmileri de yoktur, onlara azâb katlanacaktır, hem işitmeğe tahammül edemiyorlardı hem de görmüyorlardı

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Verses 19–20 are translated together in this edition.

Quels sont ceux qui détournent les autres du sentier de Dieu, et veulent le rendre tortueux ? Ceux qui n’ont point cru à la vie future. Ils ne rendront point Dieu impuissant sur la terre, et ne trouveront aucun protecteur contre lui. Le châtiment qui les attend sera porté au double. Ils ne pouvaient rien écouter, et ils ne croyaient à rien.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Verses 19–20 are translated together in this edition.

Die de menschen afleiden van Gods weg en dien krom trachten te maken, en niet in het volgende leven gelooven? Zij waren niet in staat om op aarde Gods macht tegen te gaan, noch om zijne straf te ontduiken; nimmer hadden zij eenigen schuts buiten God: hunne straf zal verdubbeld worden. Zij kunnen hooren noch zien.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Verses 19–20 are translated together in this edition.

Quali sono quelli che deviano gli altri dal sentiere dritto, e vogliono renderlo tortuoso? Son quei che non han creduto alla vita futura. Essi non renderanno Dio impotente sulla terra, e non troveranno alcun protettore contro di lui. Il gastigo che li attende sarà raddoppiato. Non possono più sentir nulla, e non credono a nulla.
