Surah Luqman, verse 32 of 34 · Juz 21

وَإِذَا غَشِيَهُم مَّوْجٌ كَٱلظُّلَلِ دَعَوُا۟ ٱللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ فَلَمَّا نَجَّىٰهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْبَرِّ فَمِنْهُم مُّقْتَصِدٌ ۚ وَمَا يَجْحَدُ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَآ إِلَّا كُلُّ خَتَّارٍ كَفُورٍ

Translations of Quran 31:32
EnglishTalal Itani

When waves, like canopies, cover them, they call upon Allah, devoting their religion to Him. But when He has delivered them to dry land, some of them waver. No one renounces Our revelations except the treacherous blasphemer.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And if a wave enshroudeth them like awnings, they cry unto Allah, making their faith pure for Him only. But when He bringeth them safe to land, some of them compromise. None denieth Our signs save every traitor ingrate.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Ve kara bulutlar gibi dalga sardığı vakıt onları dini Allaha hâlis kılarak yalvarırlar, sonra karaya çıkarıldığı vakıt içlerinden doğru giden de bulunur ve bizim âyetlerimize ancak gaddar, nankör olanlar çıfıtlık eder

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Lorsque les flots enveloppent le vaisseau comme des ténèbres, ils invoquent Dieu avec une foi sincère ; mais, aussitôt qu’il les a sauvés et rendus à la terre ferme, tel d’entre eux flotte dans le doute. Mais qui niera nos miracles, si ce n’est le perfide, l’ingrat ?

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Als de golven hen bedekken, zooals schaduw afwerpende wolken, roepen zij God aan, en bekeeren zich tot den zuiveren godsdienst: maar als hij hen ongedeerd aan land brengt, zijn er van hen, die tusschen het ware geloof en de afgoderij twijfelen. Niemand verwerpt echter onze teekenen, behalve de trouweloozen en de ondankbaren.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Quando le onde circondano la nave come tenebre, essi invocano Dio con una fede sincera; ma subito che li ha salvati, e resi in terra, alcuno di loro lo mette in dubbio. Ma chi niegherà i nostri miracoli, se non il perfido, l’ingrato?
