Translations of Quran 5:82
EnglishTalal Itani

You will find that the people most hostile towards the believers are the Jews and the polytheists. And you will find that the nearest in affection towards the believers are those who say, “We are Christians.” That is because among them are priests and monks, and they are not arrogant.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

Thou wilt find the most vehement of mankind in hostility to those who believe (to be) the Jews and the idolaters. And thou wilt find the nearest of them in affection to those who believe (to be) those who say: Lo! We are Christians. That is because there are among them priests and monks, and because they are not proud.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Nâsın mü'minlere adavetçe en şiddetlisini her halde Yahudîlerle müşrikler bulacaksın, mü'minlere meveddetçe en yakınlarını da her halde "biz Nesârâyız" diyenler bulacaksın, sebebi: çünkü bunların içinde âlim keşişler ve târiki dünya rahibler vardır ve bunlar kibr etmezler.

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Tu reconnaîtras que ceux qui nourrissent la haine la plus violente contre les fidèles sont les juifs et les idolâtres, et que ceux qui sont le plus disposés à aimer les fidèles sont les hommes qui se disent chrétiens ; c’est parce qu’ils ont des prêtres et des moines, et parce qu’ils sont sans orgueil.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Gij zult zeker vinden, dat de hevigsten in vijandschap omtrent de ware geloovigen, de Joden en de afgodendienaars zijn, en gij zult zeker vinden, dat zij onder hen, die het meest er toe overhellen, vriendschap met de trouwe geloovigen te sluiten, diegene zijn, welke zeggen: wij zijn Christenen. Dit komt, omdat er priesters en monniken onder hen zijn, en omdat zij niet van hoogmoed vervuld zijn.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Tu riconoscerai che quei che nutrono l’odio più violento contro i fedeli sono gli ebrei, e gl’idolatri, e che quei che sono più disposti ad amarli sono gli uomini che si dicono cristiani; questo è perchè hanno preti e frati scevri affatto di orgoglio.
