Say: O People of the Scripture! Why drive ye back believers from the way of Allah, seeking to make it crooked, when ye are witnesses (to Allah's guidance)? Allah is not unaware of what ye do.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

De ki ey Ehl-i Kitâb! niçin Allah’ın doğru yolundan iman edenleri men'ediyorsunuz, görüp durduğunuz halde niçin onun çarpıklığını istiyorsunuz? Allah yaptıklarınızdan gafil değildir.

Dis-leur : Ô vous qui avez reçu les Écritures ! pourquoi repoussez-vous les croyants du sentier de Dieu ? Vous voudriez le rendre tortueux, et cependant vous le connaissez. Mais Dieu n’est point inattentif à ce que vous faites.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Zeg: o gij! die de schrift hebt ontvangen, waarom wilt gij de geloovigen van den weg Gods afleiden? Gij tracht hen te verwarren, en gij zijt zelven getuigen. Maar God is niet onopmerkzaam omtrent hetgeen gij doet.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Di’ loro. O voi che avete ricevuto le Scritture! perchè discacciate i credenti dal sentiero di Dio? Voi vorreste renderlo tortuoso, e pure lo conoscete. Ma Dio osserva ciò che voi fate.
