وَٱصْبِرْ نَفْسَكَ مَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُم بِٱلْغَدَوٰةِ وَٱلْعَشِىِّ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُۥ ۖ وَلَا تَعْدُ عَيْنَاكَ عَنْهُمْ تُرِيدُ زِينَةَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ وَلَا تُطِعْ مَنْ أَغْفَلْنَا قَلْبَهُۥ عَن ذِكْرِنَا وَٱتَّبَعَ هَوَىٰهُ وَكَانَ أَمْرُهُۥ فُرُطًا

Translations of Quran 18:28
EnglishTalal Itani

And content yourself with those who pray to their Lord morning and evening, desiring His Presence. And do not turn your eyes away from them, desiring the glitter of this world. And do not obey him whose heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance—so he follows his own desires—and his priorities are confused.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

Restrain thyself along with those who cry unto their Lord at morn and evening, seeking His Countenance; and let not thine eyes overlook them, desiring the pomp of the life of the world; and obey not him whose heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance, who followeth his own lust and whose case hath been abandoned.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Nefsince de o kullarla beraber sabret ki sabah akşam (her vakıt) rablarına duâ eder cemalini isterler, sen Dünya ziynetini arzu ederek onlardan gözlerini ayırma ve o kimseye itaat etme ki kalbini zikrimizden gafil bırakmışız, keyfinin ardına düşmüş ve işi haddini aşmak olmuştur

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Sois indulgent à l’égard de ceux qui invoquent le Seigneur le matin et le soir, par désir de voir la face de leur Seigneur. Ne détourne point tes yeux d’eux par désir du brillant de ce monde, et n’obéis point à celui dont nous avons rendu le cœur insouciant de notre souvenir, à celui qui suit ses penchants, et dont toutes les actions sont un dérèglement.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Wees inschikkelijk omtrent hen, die hunnen Heer des ochtends en des avonds aanroepen, en die zijne gunst trachten te verwerven. Laten uwe oogen zich niet van hen afwenden, om den pronk van dit leven te zoeken, en gehoorzaam dengene nimmer, wiens hart wij zorgeloos omtrent ons hebben doen zijn, die zijne lusten volgt en de waarheid achter zich laat.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Mostrati paziente con quei ch’invocano il Signore mattina, e sera, e desiderano i suoi sguardi. Non distorre gli occhi da essi per ricercare il brio di questo mondo, e non obbedire a colui che abbiamo reso disamorato di noi, che segue le sue inclinazioni, e le di cui azioni non sono che un eccesso.
