Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good advice, and debate with them in the most dignified manner. Your Lord is aware of those who stray from His path, and He is aware of those who are guided.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

Call unto the way of thy Lord with wisdom and fair exhortation, and reason with them in the better way. Lo! thy Lord is Best Aware of him who strayeth from His way, and He is Best Aware of those who go aright.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Rabbın yoluna da'vet et: hikmet ile ve güzel güzel mevıza ile, onlara da en güzel olan suretle mücadele yap, çünkü rabbın odur en ziyade bilen yolunda sapanı, doğru gidenleri en iyi bilen de ancak odur

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Appelle les hommes dans le sentier de Dieu par la sagesse et par des admonitions douces ; si tu entres en dispute avec eux, fais-le de la manière la plus honnête ; car ton Seigneur connait le mieux ceux qui dévient de son sentier et ceux qui suivent le droit chemin.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Noodig, door wijsheid en zachte vermaning, de menschen uit, den weg van uwen Heer te bewandelen. Twist gij met hen, doe het dan op de meest gepaste wijze; want uw Heer weet wel wie van zijn drempel afdwaalt en wie op den waren weg zijn geleid.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Chiama (gli uomini) nel sentiero di Dio colla saviezza, e colle ammonizioni dolci; se entri in disputa con essi, fallo nel modo il più pulito; poichè il tuo Signore conosce meglio di chiunque quei che deviano dal suo sentiero, e quei che lo seguono.
