Translations of Quran 18:63
EnglishTalal Itani

He said, “Do you remember when we rested by the rock? I forgot about the fish. It was only the devil who made me forget it. And so it found its way to the river, amazingly.”

EnglishPickthall, 1930

He said: Didst thou see, when we took refuge on the rock, and I forgot the fish - and none but Satan caused me to forget to mention it - it took its way into the waters by a marvel.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Gördünmü? dedi: kayaya sığındığımız vakıt doğrusu ben balığı unuttum, ve bana onu söylememi her halde Şeytan unutturdu, o âcayib bir sûrette denizdeki yolunu tutmuştu

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

— Qu’en dis-tu ? reprit son serviteur. Lorsque nous nous sommes arrêtés auprès de ce rocher, je n’ai fait aucune attention au poisson. Il n’y a que Satan qui ait pu me le faire oublier ainsi, pour que je ne te le rappelasse pas ; le poisson a pris son chemin vers la mer ; c’est miraculeux.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Zijn dienaar antwoordde: Weet gij wat mij is overkomen. Toen wij ons nabij de rots ophielden, vergat ik waarlijk den visch, en niemand deed mij dien anders vergeten dan Satan, opdat ik u dien niet zou herinneren. En de visch nam zijn weg, op wonderdadige wijze, in de zee.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Che dici mai? (rispose il servo). Quando ci siamo arrestati vicino a questo scoglio, non ho affatto badato al pesce. Non altri che Satana può avermelo fatto così dimenticare, perch’io non me lo rammentassi; il pesce ha preso la strada del mare; è cosa prodigiosa!
