Translations of Quran 11:40
EnglishTalal Itani

Until, when Our command came, and the volcano erupted, We said, “Board into it a pair of every kind, and your family—except those against whom the sentence has already been passed—and those who have believed.” But those who believed with him were only a few.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

(Thus it was) till, when Our commandment came to pass and the oven gushed forth water, We said: Load therein two of every kind, a pair (the male and female), and thy household, save him against whom the word hath gone forth already, and those who believe. And but a few were they who believed with him.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Nihayet emrimiz geldiği ve tennur feveran ettiği vakıt dedik ki: yükle içine her birinden ikişer çift, ve aleyhinde huküm sebketmiş olandan maada ehlini ve iyman edenleri, maamafih pek azından maadası beraberinde iyman etmemişti, dedi

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Et il en fut ainsi jusqu’au moment où notre ordre fut donné, et où la fournaise creva. Nous dîmes à Noé : Emporte dans ce vaisseau un couple de chaque espèce, ainsi que ta famille, excepté celui sur qui la sentence a été prononcée. Prends aussi tous ceux qui ont cru ; et il n’y eut qu’un petit nombre qui crut.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Zoo hielden zij zich bezig, tot onze straf ten uitvoer werd gebracht, en de oven water uitgoot. En wij zeiden tot Noach: Breng een paar van iedere diersoort en uw gezin in de ark, uitgenomen hij, over wien de straf werd uitgesproken en zij die gelooven. Doch behalve enkelen geloofden zij niet met hem.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

E così fu fino al momento in cui il nostro ordine fu dato, ed in cui la fornace scoppiò. Noi dicemmo a Noè: Prendi con te in quest’arca una coppia di ogni specie, come anche conducivi la tua famiglia, ad eccezione di colui su cui è stato pronunziato il giudizio. Prendi ancora tutti coloro che hanno creduto, ancorchè non vi fosse che un piccol numero che abbia creduto.
