Translations of Quran 16:101
EnglishTalal Itani

When We substitute a verse in place of another verse—and Allah knows best what He reveals—they say, “You are an impostor.” But most of them do not know.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And when We put a revelation in place of (another) revelation, - and Allah knoweth best what He revealeth - they say: Lo! thou art but inventing. Most of them know not.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Bir âyeti bir âyetin yerine bedel yaptığîmız vakıt Allah indirdiğine ve indireceğine a'lem iken o Şeytan yârânı: «Sen sırf bir müfterisin» dediler, hayır onların çoğu bilmezler

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Si nous remplaçons dans ce Koran un verset par un autre (Dieu connaît mieux que qui que ce soit ce qu’il révèle), ils disent que tu l’inventes toi-même. Non ; mais la plupart d’entre eux ne savent rien.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Indien wij in dezen Koran een vers door een ander vervangen (en God weet het beste wat hij openbaart), dan zeggen de ongeloovigen: Gij alleen hebt deze verzen uitgedacht; maar de meesten hunner weten de waarheid van de leugen niet te onderscheiden.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Se rimpiazziamo (nel Corano) un versetto con un altro, e Dio sa meglio di tutti ciò che rivela, dicono che l’inventi tu stesso. No; ma la maggior parte di loro non sa nulla.
