وَمِنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ مَنْ إِن تَأْمَنْهُ بِقِنطَارٍ يُؤَدِّهِۦٓ إِلَيْكَ وَمِنْهُم مَّنْ إِن تَأْمَنْهُ بِدِينَارٍ لَّا يُؤَدِّهِۦٓ إِلَيْكَ إِلَّا مَا دُمْتَ عَلَيْهِ قَآئِمًا ۗ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا۟ لَيْسَ عَلَيْنَا فِى ٱلْأُمِّيِّـۧنَ سَبِيلٌ وَيَقُولُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلْكَذِبَ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ

Translations of Quran 3:75
EnglishTalal Itani

Among the People of the Book is he, who, if you entrust him with a heap of gold, he will give it back to you. And among them is he, who, if you entrust him with a single coin, he will not give it back to you, unless you keep after him. That is because they say, “We are under no obligation towards the gentiles.” They tell lies about Allah, and they know it.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

Among the People of the Scripture there is he who, if thou trust him with a weight of treasure, will return it to thee. And among them there is he who, if thou trust him with a piece of gold, will not return it to thee unless thou keep standing over him. That is because they say: We have no duty to the Gentiles. They speak a lie concerning Allah knowingly.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Ehl-i Kitâb’dan öylesi vardır ki ona yüklerle emanet bıraksan onu sana te'diye eder, gene onlardan öylesi vardır ki ona bir dinar emanet etsen tepesine binmedikçe onu sana te'diye etmez, bunun sebebi: Çünkü bunlar bizim aleyhimize ümmilerde bir yol yoktur derler ve Allah’a karşı bile bile yalan söylerler.

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Parmi ceux qui ont reçu les Écritures, il y en a à qui tu peux confier un talent, et qui te le rendront intact ; il y en a d’autres qui ne te restitueront pas le dépôt d’un dinar, si tu ne les y contrains. Ils agissent ainsi parce qu’ils disent : Nous ne sommes tenus à rien envers les ignorants. Ils prêtent sciemment un mensonge à Dieu.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Onder hen die de schrift hebben ontvangen zijn er, die gij een talent kunt toevertrouwen; zij zullen u dit teruggeven; maar er zijn ook anderen, die u een, hun geleenden dinar, niet zullen teruggeven, indien gij hen niet aanhoudend dit herinnert. Dit geschiedt omdat zij zeggen: Wij hebben geen verplichting omtrent de onwetenden. Maar zij liegen omtrent God, tegen beter weten aan,

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Fra quelli che hanno avuto le Scritture ve ne sono a chi puoi consegnare la somma di un talento, e che te lo restituiranno intatto: ve ne sono altri che non ti restituiranno il deposito di un denaro senza esservi costretti. Costoro agiscono così perchè dicono: Noi non siamo tenuti a nulla verso gl’ignoranti. Essi suppongono una menzogna a Dio a bella posta.
