Translations of Quran 17:46
EnglishTalal Itani

And We drape veils over their hearts, preventing them from understanding it, and heaviness in their ears. And when you mention your Lord alone in the Quran, they turn their backs in aversion.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And We place upon their hearts veils lest they should understand it, and in their ears a deafness; and when thou makest mention of thy Lord alone in the Qur'an, they turn their backs in aversion.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Ve kalblerinin üzerine onu iyi anlamalarına mani' kabuklar geçiririz ve kulaklarına bir ağırlık veririz Rabbını Kur'anda vâhid olarak andığın vakıt da ürkerek arkalarına döner giderler

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Nous avons recouvert leurs cœurs d’enveloppes, afin qu’ils ne comprennent pas. Nous avons jeté la pesanteur dans leurs oreilles. Quand tu prononces dans le Koran le nom du Dieu unique, ils tournent le dos pour fuir avec dégoût.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

En wij bedekken hunne harten, opdat zij niet zouden begrijpen, en verzwaren hun gehoor. En indien gij, bij het herhalen van den Koran, slechts van uwen Heer melding maakt, wenden zij u den rug toe en ontvluchten de leer zijner eenheid.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Abbiamo ricoperti i lor cuori di veli, affinchè non comprendano. Abbiamo rese ottuse le loro orecchia. Quando pronunzi nel Corano il nome del Dio unico, essi rivolgono le spalle, e s’allontanano con svogliatezza.
