مَّثَلُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِرَبِّهِمْ ۖ أَعْمَـٰلُهُمْ كَرَمَادٍ ٱشْتَدَّتْ بِهِ ٱلرِّيحُ فِى يَوْمٍ عَاصِفٍ ۖ لَّا يَقْدِرُونَ مِمَّا كَسَبُوا۟ عَلَىٰ شَىْءٍ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلضَّلَـٰلُ ٱلْبَعِيدُ

Translations of Quran 14:18
EnglishTalal Itani

The likeness of those who disbelieve in their Lord: their works are like ashes, in a fierce wind, on a stormy day. They have no control over anything they have earned. That is the utmost misguidance.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

A similitude of those who disbelieve in their Lord: Their works are as ashes which the wind bloweth hard upon a stormy day. They have no control of aught that they have earned. That is the extreme failure.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Rablarına küfredenlerin meseli şudur: amelleri bir küle benzer ki onu fırtınalı bir günde rüzgar şiddetli savurmaktadır, kazandıklarından hiç bir şey ellerini geçmez, işte budur asıl o uzak dalâl

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Les œuvres des incrédule sont semblables aux cendres dont s’empare le vent dans un jour orageux. Ils seront impuissants à cause de leurs œuvres, et certes c’est un égarement bien éloigné de la vraie route.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Hunne werken zijn gelijk aan asch, die door den wind op een stormachtigen dag wordt voortgedreven; zij zullen niet in staat zijn, een blijvend voordeel te verkrijgen van hetgeen zij hebben bedreven. Dit is eene dwaling, die zeer ver van de waarheid is verwijderd.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Le opere degl’increduli sono simili alla polvere di cui s’impadronisce il vento in un giorno tempestoso. Essi saranno impotenti a cagione delle loro opere, e certamente è uno smarrimento ben lontano (dalla vera strada).
