Translations of Quran 5:57
EnglishTalal Itani

O you who believe! Do not befriend those who take your religion in mockery and as a sport, be they from among those who were given the Scripture before you, or the disbelievers. And obey Allah, if you are believers.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

O Ye who believe! Choose not for guardians such of those who received the Scripture before you, and of the disbelievers, as make a jest and sport of your religion. But keep your duty to Allah if ye are true believers.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Ey o bütün iman edenler! Ne o sizden evvel kitap verilenlerden dininize eğlence ve oyunmak yerine tutanları ne de diğer kâfirleri dost tutmayın, Allah’dan korkun eğer mü'minlerseniz.

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Ô croyants ! Ne cherchez point d’appui chez les hommes qui ont reçu l’Écriture, ni chez les infidèles qui font de votre culte l’objet de leurs railleries. Craignez Dieu, si vous êtes fidèles.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

O, ware geloovigen! kiest als uwe vrienden niet hen, wie de schriften vóór u waren gegeven, of de ongeloovigen, die uwen godsdienst tot het onderwerp van hunne lachlust en bespotting maken; maar vreest God, indien gij ware geloovigen zijt.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

O credenti! Non cercate appoggio presso coloro che hanno avuto le Scritture, nè presso gl’infedeli che prendono in derisione il vostro culto. Temete Dio, se siete fedeli.
