Translations of Quran 31:33
EnglishTalal Itani

O people! Be conscious of your Lord, and dread a Day when no parent can avail his child, nor can a child avail his parent, in anything. The promise of Allah is true. Therefore, do not let this life deceive you, nor let illusions deceive you regarding Allah.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

O mankind! Keep your duty to your Lord and fear a Day when the parent will not be able to avail the child in aught, nor the child to avail the parent. Lo! Allah's promise is the very truth. Let not the life of the world beguile you, nor let the deceiver beguile you, in regard to Allah.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Ey insanlar rabbınızdan korkun ve bir günü sayın ki ata evlâdından bir şey ödeyemez, evlâd o da atasından bir şey ödeyecek değildir, Muhakkak Allahın va'di hak, o halde sakının Dünya hayat sizi aldatmasın ve sakının o mağrur sizi Allaha güvendirmesin

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

O hommes ! craignez votre Seigneur, et redoutez le jour où, pour si peu que ce soit, le père ne satisfera pas pour son fils, ni l’enfant pour son père. Les promesses de Dieu sont véritables. Que la vie de ce monde ne vous éblouisse pas ; que l’illusion ne vous aveugle pas sur Dieu.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

O menschen! vreest uwen Heer, en ducht den dag, waarop de vader geene voldoening hoe gering ook, voor zijnen zoon, noch een zoon voldoening voor zijnen vader zal kunnen geven. Zekerlijk, de belofte van God is waar. Laat het tegenwoordige leven u dus niet misleiden, en laat de bedrieger u niet omtrent God verblinden.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

O uomini! temete il vostro Signore, ed il giorno in cui per poco che sia, il padre non potrà soddisfare per suo figlio, nè il figlio per suo padre. Le promesse di Dio sono veraci. La vita di questo mondo non vi allucini: l’orgoglio non vi acciechi su Dio.
