وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا لُقْمَـٰنَ ٱلْحِكْمَةَ أَنِ ٱشْكُرْ لِلَّهِ ۚ وَمَن يَشْكُرْ فَإِنَّمَا يَشْكُرُ لِنَفْسِهِۦ ۖ وَمَن كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَنِىٌّ حَمِيدٌ

Translations of Quran 31:12
EnglishTalal Itani

We endowed Luqman with wisdom: “Give thanks to Allah.” Whoever is appreciative—is appreciative for the benefit of his own soul. And whoever is unappreciative—Allah is Sufficient and Praiseworthy.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And verily We gave Luqman wisdom, saying: Give thanks unto Allah; and whosoever giveth thanks, he giveth thanks for (the good of) his soul. And whosoever refuseth - Lo! Allah is Absolute, Owner of Praise.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Şanım hakkı için Lokmana hikmet verdik ki şükret Allaha, diye, ve her kim şükrederse kendi lehine eder, her kim de nankörlük ederse her halde Allah ganiydir, hamîddir

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Nous donnâmes à LOKMAN la sagesse, et nous lui dîmes : Sois reconnaissant envers Dieu, car celui qui est reconnaissant le sera à son propre avantage. Celui qui est ingrat, Dieu peut s’en passer. Dieu est riche et plein de gloire.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Daarom schonken wij wijsheid aan Lokman en geboden hem, zeggende: Wees God dankbaar; want wie dankbaar is, zal in het voordeel van zijn eigen ziel wezen, en indien iemand ondankbaar mocht zijn, waarlijk, dan volstaat God voor zich zelven; en hij is waardig geprezen te worden.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Demmo a Lokman la saviezza, e gli dicemmo: Sii riconoscente verso Dio, poichè colui che è riconoscente lo è per suo proprio bene. Colui che è ingrato, (lo è a suo proprio danno). Dio è ricco, e pieno di gloria.
