EnglishTalal Itani

Her Lord accepted her with a gracious reception, and brought her a beautiful upbringing, and entrusted her to the care of Zechariah. Whenever Zechariah entered upon her in the sanctuary, he found her with provision. He said, “O Mary, where did you get this from?” She said, “It is from Allah; Allah provides to whom He wills without reckoning.”

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And her Lord accepted her with full acceptance and vouchsafed to her a goodly growth; and made Zachariah her guardian. Whenever Zachariah went into the sanctuary where she was, he found that she had food. He said: O Mary! Whence cometh unto thee this (food)? She answered: It is from Allah. Allah giveth without stint to whom He will.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Bunun üzerine Rabbı onu güzel bir kabul ile kabul buyurdu ve güzel bir surette yetiştirdi, Zekeriya’nın himayesine verdi, Zekeriyya onun üzerine mihraba her girdikçe yanında yeni bir rızk bulur, ya Meryem! bu sana nereden? derdi, o da Allah tarafından, derdi: Şüphe yok ki Allah dilediğini hesapsız merzuk buyurur.

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Le Seigneur fit le plus bel accueil à la femme d’Imran ; or il lui avait fait produire une belle créature. Zacharie eut soin de l’enfant ; toutes les fois qu’il allait visiter Marie dans sa cellule, il trouvait de la nourriture auprès d’elle. Ô Marie ! D’où vous vient cette nourriture ? — Elle me vient de Dieu, répondit-elle, car Dieu nourrit abondamment ceux qu’il veut, et ne leur compte pas les morceaux.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

God nam haar met welgevallen aan, en liet een uitmuntenden tak uit haar voortspruiten Zacharias droeg zorg voor haar. Toen Zacharias in hare kamer kwam, vond hij spijzen bij haar. O Maria! van wien bekomt gij dit? Zij antwoordde: Van God; want God spijst wien hij wil, zonder het te rekenen.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Il Signore accolse favorevolmente la sua offerta; fece produrre a Maria un frutto prezioso. Zaccharia ebbe cura del fanciullo; tutte le volte che andava a visitare Maria nella sua della, vedeva vicino a lei del cibo. Da dove vi viene, le domandò, questo cibo? Mi viene da Dio, essa rispose, perchè Dio nudrisce in abbondanza chi vuole, e non conta i bocconi.
