Translations of Quran 11:87
EnglishTalal Itani

They said, “O Shuaib, does your prayer command you that we abandon what our ancestors worshiped, or doing with our wealth what we want? You are the one who is intelligent and wise.”

EnglishPickthall, 1930

They said: O Shu'eyb! Doth thy way of prayer command thee that we should forsake that which our fathers (used to) worship, or that we (should leave off) doing what we will with our own property. Lo! thou art the mild, the guide to right behaviour.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Ya Şuayb, dediler: atalarımızın taptıklarını terketmemizi veya mallarımızda dilediğimizi yapmamızı sana namazını emrediyor? Her halde sen, çok uslu akıllısın

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Ils lui dirent : O Choaib, sont-ce tes dévotions qui font que tu nous ordonnes d’abandonner ce qu’adoraient nos pères, ou de ne point faire avec nos biens ce qu’il nous plaît ? Cependant tu es un homme doux et droit.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Zij antwoordden: O Shoaïb! zijn het uwe gebeden die u gelasten, ons de goden te doen verlaten, welke door onze vaderen werden aangebeden, of dat wij met onze bezittingen niet zouden doen, wat wij verkiezen. Gij alleen zijt, naar het schijnt, de wijze man, en geschapen om tot leidsman te strekken.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Gli dissero: O Choaïb! è forse la tua devozione che t’inginage di ordinarci d’abbandonare ciò che adoravano i nostri padri, o di non fare ciò che ci piace de’ nostri beni? eppure tu sei uomo dolce, e retto.
