Translations of Quran 11:62
EnglishTalal Itani

They said, “O Saleh, we had hopes in you before this. Are you trying to prevent us from worshiping what our parents worship? We are in serious doubt regarding what you are calling us to.”

EnglishPickthall, 1930

They said: O Salih! Thou hast been among us hitherto as that wherein our hope was placed. Dost thou ask us not to worship what our fathers worshipped? Lo! we verily are in grave doubt concerning that to which thou callest us.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Ey Salih! Dediler: bundan evvel sen bizim içimizde ümid beslenir bir zatidin, şimdi bizi babalarımızın tapındığına tapmaktan nehiy mi ediyorsun? Her halde biz, senin bizi da'vet ettiğin şeyden çok kuşkulandıran bir şekk içindeyiz

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Ils répondirent : O Saleh ! Tu étais l’objet de nos espérances. Nous défendras-tu maintenant d’adorer ce que nos pères adoraient ? Nous avons de grands doutes sur le culte auquel tu nous appelles.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Zij antwoordden: O Saleh! Gij waart een persoon, in wien wij voor dezen onze hoop hadden gesteld. Verbiedt gij ons datgene te aanbidden, wat door onze vaderen werd aangebeden? Maar wij verkeeren zekerlijk in twijfel nopens den godsdienst, tot welken gij ons uitnoodigt; als zijnde te recht verdacht.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Essi risposero: O Saleh! tu eri la nostra speranza. Ci vieterai ora d’adorare ciò che adoravano i nostri padri? Abbiamo grandi dubbi sul culto al quale ci chiami.
