Translations of Quran 11:91
EnglishTalal Itani

They said, “O Shuaib, we do not understand much of what you say, and we see that you are weak among us. Were it not for your tribe, we would have stoned you. You are of no value to us.”

EnglishPickthall, 1930

They said: O Shu'eyb! We understand not much of that thou tellest, and lo! we do behold thee weak among us. But for thy family, we should have stoned thee, for thou art not strong against us.

Ya Şuayb! dediler: biz senin dediklerinin çoğunu iyi anlamıyoruz ve her halde biz seni içimizde pek zaıyf buluyoruz, eğer taallûkatından beş on kişi olmasa idi mutlak seni recmederdik, senin bize karşı hiç bir ehemmiyetin yok

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

— O Choaïb ! Répondit le peuple, nous ne comprenons pas trop ce que tu veux dire ; tu est faible parmi nous. Si nous n’avions égard à ta famille, nous t’aurions lapidé. Tu n’aurais pas eu le dessus.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Zij antwoordden: O Shoaïb! wij verstaan niet veel van hetgeen gij zegt, en wij zien dat gij een man zonder macht onder ons zijt; indien het niet om uw gezin ware, zouden wij u zekerlijk hebben gesteenigd, en gij zoudt niet de overhand op ons gehad hebben.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Il popolo rispose: Choaib, noi non intendiamo bene che cosa tu vuoi dirci; tu sei debole, e se non avessimo riguardo alla tua famiglia, ti avremmo lapidato, e non ti saresti potuto salvare.
