Translations of Quran 16:106
EnglishTalal Itani

Whoever renounces faith in Allah after having believed—except for someone who is compelled, while his heart rests securely in faith—but whoever willingly opens up his heart to disbelief—upon them falls wrath from Allah, and for them is a tremendous torment.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

Whoso disbelieveth in Allah after his belief - save him who is forced thereto and whose heart is still content with the Faith - but whoso findeth ease in disbelief: On them is wrath from Allah. Theirs will be an awful doom.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Her kim iymanından sonra Allaha küfrederse - kalbi iyman ile mutmainn olduğu halde ikrah edilen başka - velâkin küfre sinesini açan kimse lâbüdd onların üstüne Allahdan bir gadab iner ve onlara azîm bir azâb vardır

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Quiconque, après avoir cru, redevient infidèle, s’il y est contraint par la force, et si son cœur persévère dans la foi, n’est pas coupable ; mais la colère de Dieu s’appesantira sur celui qui ouvre son cœur a l’infidélité, et un châtiment terrible l’attend.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Hij die God loochent, nadat hij heeft geloofd, behalve hij die tegen zijn wil werd gedwongen, en wiens hart standvastig blijft in het geloof, zal streng gekastijd worden; maar op hem, die uit eigen wil ongeloovig is, zal Gods verontwaardiging nederkomen en hij zal eene gestrenge straf ondergaan.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Chi, dopo aver creduto, ritorna infedele, se vi è costretto dalla forza, e se persevera nella fede (non è colpevole); ma l’ira di Dio poserà su colui che apre il cuore all’infedeltà, ed un gastigo terribile l’attende.
