Translations of Quran 16:81
EnglishTalal Itani

And Allah has made for you shade out of what He has created, and has given you resorts in the mountains, and has given you garments to protect you from the heat, and garments to protect you from your violence. Thus He completes His blessings upon you, so that you may submit.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And Allah hath given you, of that which He hath created, shelter from the sun; and hath given you places of refuge in the mountains, and hath given you coats to ward off the heat from you, and coats (of armour) to save you from your own foolhardiness. Thus doth He perfect His favour unto you, in order that ye may surrender (unto Him).

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Allah halkettiği şeylerden sizin için gölgeler yaptı ve sizin için dağlardan siperler yaptı, hem sizi sıcaktan vikaye edecek esvablar hem de harbde vikaye edecek esvablar yaptı, bu suretle üzerinizde olan ni'metini tamamlıyacak ki siz halıs müsliman olup selâmet neşredesiniz

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Dieu vous a procuré, parmi les objets de sa création, des ombrages ; il vous a donné des montagnes pour retraites, des vêtements qui vous abritent contre les chaleurs, et des vêtements qui vous garantissent contre la violence des coups que vous vous portez les uns aux autres : c’est ainsi qu’il vous comble de ses bienfaits, afin que vous vous résigniez à sa volonté.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

En God heeft u verschaft van hetgeen hij geschapen heeft, en gemakken om u tegen de zon te beveiligen, en hij heeft u schuilplaatsen in de bergen verstrekt en kleederen gegeven, om u voor de hitte te beschutten, en maliënkolders, om u in uwe oorlogen te beschermen. Zoo vervult hij zijne gunst nopens u, opdat gij u aan zijn wil zoudt onderwerpen.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Dio vi ha procurato, fra gli oggetti della creazione, delle ombre; vi ha dato le montagne per ritirarvi, le vesti che vi riparino dai caldi, e le vesti che vi garantiscano dalla violenza (dei colpi che vi date a vicenda): Cosl egli vi colma de’ suoi benefizi perchè vi rassegniate alla sua volontà.
