Translations of Quran 18:58
EnglishTalal Itani

Your Lord is the Forgiver, Possessor of Mercy. Were He to call them to account for what they have earned, He would have hastened the punishment for them. But they have an appointment from which they will find no escape.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

Thy Lord is the Forgiver, Full of Mercy. If He took them to task (now) for what they earn, He would hasten on the doom for them; but theirs is an appointed term from which they will find no escape.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Hem o mağrifeti çok rahmet sahibi rabbın onları kesibleriyle derhal muâhaze ediverecek olsa idi haklarında azâbı elbette ta'cil buyururdu, fakat onlar için bir mîy'âd vardır ki o gelince hiç bir çarei necat bulamazlar

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Ton Seigneur est indulgent et plein de compassion ; s’il voulait les punir de leurs œuvres, il aurait avancé l’heure du châtiment. Mais ils ont un terme fixé pour l’accomplissement des menaces, et ils ne trouveront aucun refuge contre sa vengeance.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Uw Heer is barmhartig en vol van genade; indien hij hen had willen straffen voor hetgeen zij hebben bedreven, zou hij zeker hunne straf hebben verhaast, maar eene bedreiging is tegen hen aangekondigd, en zij zullen geene toevlucht buiten hem vinden.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Il tuo Signore è indulgente, e compassionevole; se volesse punirli delle lor opere, avrebbe anticipata l’ora del gastigo. Ma hanno un’epoca stabilita per l’adempimento delle minaccie, e non troveranno refugio contro la di lui vendetta.
