Translations of Quran 49:14
EnglishTalal Itani

The Desert-Arabs say, “We have believed.” Say, “You have not believed; but say, ‘We have submitted,’ for faith has not yet entered into your hearts. But if you obey Allah and His Messenger, He will not diminish any of your deeds. Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.”

EnglishPickthall, 1930

The wandering Arabs say: We believe. Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Ye believe not, but rather say "We submit," for the faith hath not yet entered into your hearts. Yet, if ye obey Allah and His messenger, He will not withhold from you aught of (the reward of) your deeds. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

A'râbîler iyman ettik dediler, de ki: siz henüz iyman etmediniz ve lâkin henüz iyman kalblerinizin içine girmemiş olduğu halde islâma girdik deyin ve eğer Allaha ve Resulüne itâat ederseniz size amellerinizden hiç bir şey eksiklemez, çünkü Allah gafur, rahîmdir

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Les Arabes du désert disent : Nous avons cru. Réponds-leur : Point du tout. Dites plutôt : Nous avons embrassé l’islam, car la foi n’a pas encore pénétré dans vos cœurs. Si vous obéissez à Dieu et à son apôtre, aucune de vos actions ne sera perdue, car Dieu est indulgent et miséricordieux.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

De Arabieren van de woestijn zeggen: Wij gelooven. Antwoord: Gij gelooft volstrekt niet, maar zeg: Wij hebben den Islam omhelsd; want het geloof is uwe harten nog niet binnengetreden. Indien gij God en zijn gezant gehoorzaamt, zal hij u van geen deel der verdienste uwer werken berooven; want God is vergevensgezind en barmhartig.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Gli arabi del deserto dicono: Abbiamo creduto. Rispondi loro: Non è vero. Dite piuttosto: Abbiamo abbracciato l’islamismo, poichè la fede non è ancora penetrata ne’ vostri cuori. Se obbedirete a Dio ed al suo apostolo, nessuna delle vostre azioni sarà perduta, poichè Dio è indulgente e misericordioso.
