Surah Al-Isra (The Night Journey), verse 15 of 111 · Juz 15

مَّنِ ٱهْتَدَىٰ فَإِنَّمَا يَهْتَدِى لِنَفْسِهِۦ ۖ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَإِنَّمَا يَضِلُّ عَلَيْهَا ۚ وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ ۗ وَمَا كُنَّا مُعَذِّبِينَ حَتَّىٰ نَبْعَثَ رَسُولًا

Translations of Quran 17:15
EnglishTalal Itani

Whoever is guided—is guided for his own good. And whoever goes astray—goes astray to his detriment. No burdened soul carries the burdens of another, nor do We ever punish until We have sent a messenger.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

Whosoever goeth right, it is only for (the good of) his own soul that he goeth right, and whosoever erreth, erreth only to its hurt. No laden soul can bear another's load, We never punish until we have sent a messenger.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Kim doğru giderse sırf kendi lehine gider, kim de sapıklık ederse ancak aleyhine eder ve hiç bir vizir çeken diğerinin vizrini çekmez, biz bir Resul göndericiye kadar ta'zib de etmeyiz

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Quiconque suit le chemin droit, le suit pour lui-même ; quiconque s’égare, s’égare à son propre détriment. Toute âme chargée d’un fardeau ne portera pas celui d’aucune autre. Nous n’avons jamais puni sans avoir auparavant envoyé un prophète auprès d’un peuple.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Hij die op den rechten weg zal worden geleid, zal alleen ten voordeele van zijne eigene ziel worden geleid, en hij die dwaalt, zal alleen tegen zijne eigene ziel, met de last van eene andere worden bezwaard. Wij straffen nooit een volk dan nadat wij eerst een gezant hadden afgevaardigd, om hen te waarschuwen.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Chi segue la via retta, la segue per se; chi si smarrisce, si smarrisce a suo proprio danno. Ogni anima carica d’un peso non porterà quello dell’altra. Noi non abbiamo punito alcun popolo prima di aver fatto sorgere un apostolo nel suo seno.
