مَّا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيَذَرَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَىٰ مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّىٰ يَمِيزَ ٱلْخَبِيثَ مِنَ ٱلطَّيِّبِ ۗ وَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيُطْلِعَكُمْ عَلَى ٱلْغَيْبِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَجْتَبِى مِن رُّسُلِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ ۖ فَـَٔامِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِۦ ۚ وَإِن تُؤْمِنُوا۟ وَتَتَّقُوا۟ فَلَكُمْ أَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ

Translations of Quran 3:179
EnglishTalal Itani

Allah will not leave the believers as you are, without distinguishing the wicked from the sincere. Nor will Allah inform you of the future, but Allah elects from among His messengers whom He wills. So believe in Allah and His messengers. If you believe and practice piety, you will have a splendid reward.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

It is not (the purpose) of Allah to leave you in your present state till He shall separate the wicked from the good. And it is not (the purpose of) Allah to let you know the Unseen. But Allah chooseth of His messengers whom He will, (to receive knowledge thereof). So believe in Allah and His messengers. If ye believe and ward off (evil), yours will be a vast reward.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Allah mü'minleri bulunduğunuz hal üzere bırakacak değildir, nihayet murdarı temizden ayıracak, Allah sizleri gaybe muttalı' kılacak da değil ve lâkin Allah ona Resulleri’nden dilediğini seçer, onun için Allah’a ve Resullerine iman edin ve eğer iman eder ve korunursanız size de azîm bir ecir var. Allah’ın fazlından kendilerine bahşettiği şeye bahillik edenler sakın onu kendilerine hayırlı

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Dieu ne saurait laisser les croyants dans l’état où vous êtes ; il séparera le mauvais d’avec le bon. Dieu ne saurait vous dévoiler les choses cachées. Il choisit les envoyés qu’il lui plaît pour les leur confier. Croyez donc eu Dieu et à ses envoyés ; si vous croyez, et si vous craignez, vous recevrez une récompense généreuse.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

God zal de geloovigen niet langer in den toestand laten, waarin gij u thans bevindt, dan tot dat hij de slechten van de goeden heeft afgezonderd. God zal u ook niet met zijne geheimen bekend maken; maar God kiest hiertoe een zijner gezanten; naar zijn welbehagen. Gelooft daarom in God en zijne Gezanten: indien gij gelooft en God vreest, zult gij eene ruime belooning ontvangen.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Dio non lascerà i credenti nello stato in cui siete; separerà i cattivi dai buoni. Dio non svelerà le cose nascoste. Sceglie i messi che crede per confidargliele. Credete dunque a Dio, ed a’ suoi inviati; se crederete, e se temerete, avrete una ricompensa generosa.
