Translations of Quran 5:59
EnglishTalal Itani

Say, “O People of the Scripture! Do you resent us only because we believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed previously; and most of you are sinners?”

EnglishPickthall, 1930

Say: O People of the Scripture! Do ye blame us for aught else than that we believe in Allah and that which is revealed unto us and that which was revealed aforetime, and because most of you are evil-livers?

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

De ki ey Ehl-i kitâp siz sırf şunun için bizden hoşlanmıyorsunuz: Biz Allah’a iman ettiğimiz gibi hem kendimize indirilene hem daha evvel indirilmiş olana iman etmekteyiz, sizin ise ekseriniz fâıksınız.

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Dis a ceux qui ont reçu l’Écriture : Allez-vous nous désavouer parce que nous croyons en Dieu, à ce qui nous a été donné d’en haut, et a ce qui a été envoyé antérieurement, et parce que la plupart d’entre vous sont impies ?

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Zegt: o gij! die de schriften hebt ontvangen, verwerpt gij ons om eene andere reden, dan omdat wij in God gelooven, in hetgeen ons werd nedergezonden, en dat wat vroeger nedergezonden werd, en omdat het grootste deel van u zondaren zijn?

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Di’ a coloro che hanno ricevute le Scritture: Perchè voi ci fuggite con orrore? Forse perchè noi crediamo in Dio, a ciò che ci è stato dato dall’alto, e a ciò che era stato mandato anteriormente, e perchè siete quasi tutti empj?
