Translations of Quran 5:51
EnglishTalal Itani

O you who believe! Do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies; some of them are allies of one another. Whoever of you allies himself with them is one of them. Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for friends. They are friends one to another. He among you who taketh them for friends is (one) of them. Lo! Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Ey o bütün iman edenler! Yehud ile Nesârâ’yı yar tutmayın, onlar ancak birbirlerinin yaranıdırlar, içinizden her kim onlara yardaklık ederse muhakkak onlardan maduddur, Allah ise zulm edenleri doğru yola çıkarmaz.

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Ô croyants ! Ne prenez point pour amis les juifs et les chrétiens ; ils sont amis les uns des autres. Celui qui les prendra pour amis finira par leur ressembler, et Dieu ne sera point le guide des pervers.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

O, ware geloovigen! neemt niet de Joden of Christenen tot vrienden; zij zijn elkanders vrienden; maar hij uwer, die hen tot vrienden neemt, is zekerlijk een hunner. Waarlijk, God leidt de onrechtvaardigen niet.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

O credenti! non prendete per amici nè gli ebrei nè i cristiani; essi sono legati gli uni cogli altri. Chi li prenderà per amici finirà per rassomigliarli, e Dio non sarà mai il condottiere dei perversi.
