Translations of Quran 14:21
EnglishTalal Itani

They will emerge before Allah, all together. The weak will say to those who were proud, “We were your followers, can you protect us at all against Allah’s punishment?” They will say, “Had Allah guided us, we would have guided you. It is the same for us; whether we mourn, or are patient; there is no asylum for us.”

EnglishPickthall, 1930

They all come forth unto their Lord. Then those who were despised say unto those who were scornful: We were unto you a following, can ye then avert from us aught of Allah's doom? They say: Had Allah guided us, we should have guided you. Whether we rage or patiently endure is (now) all one for us; we have no place of refuge.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Bir de hepsi toplanarak Allahın huzuruna çıkmışlardır, zuafâ kısmı büyüklük taslıyanlara: şöyle demektedirler: bizler sizlere tabi' idik, şimdi siz, bizden Allahın azâbından zerrece bir şey defi edebiliyor musunuz? Eğer, demişlerdir: Allah bize hidayet verse idi elbette sizi hidayeti erdirirdik, şimdi bizler sızlansak da sabretsek de müsavîdir, bizim için kurtuluş yok

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Tous les hommes paraîtront devant Dieu ; les faibles de la terre diront aux puissants : Nous marchions à votre suite ; ne pouvez-vous pas nous ôter quelque peu du châtiment de Dieu ? Ils répondront : Si Dieu nous avait dirigés, nous vous aurions servi de guides. Nous plaindre de nos tourments ou les souffrir en silence, pour nous c’est tout un. Il n’y a point de refuge pour nous.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

En zij zullen allen op den jongsten dag in Gods tegenwoordigheid worden gebracht; en de zwakken, die zich onder hen bevinden, zullen tot de sterken zeggen: Waarlijk, wij hebben u op de aarde opgevolgd; wilt gij dus niet een deel der goddelijke wraak van ons afwenden? Zij zullen antwoorden: Indien God ons op den rechten weg had geleid, zouden wij u zekerlijk geleid hebben. Het is ons onverschillig, of wij onze plagen met ongeduld dragen, of dat wij die met geduld verduren, want wij bezitten geen weg om daaraan te ontkomen.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Tutti gli uomini compariranno dinanzi a Dio; i deboli diranno ai potenti: Noi seguivamo i vostri passi, non potreste toglierci un poco di gastigo di Dio? Essi risponderanno: Se Dio ci avesse diretti, vi avremmo servito di guida. Per noi è la stessa cosa il lagnarci de’ nostri tormenti, o il soffrirli in silenzio. Non vi è scampo per noi.
