وَقَدْ نَزَّلَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِى ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ أَنْ إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ ءَايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ يُكْفَرُ بِهَا وَيُسْتَهْزَأُ بِهَا فَلَا تَقْعُدُوا۟ مَعَهُمْ حَتَّىٰ يَخُوضُوا۟ فِى حَدِيثٍ غَيْرِهِۦٓ ۚ إِنَّكُمْ إِذًا مِّثْلُهُمْ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ جَامِعُ ٱلْمُنَـٰفِقِينَ وَٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ فِى جَهَنَّمَ جَمِيعًا

Translations of Quran 4:140
EnglishTalal Itani

He has revealed to you in the Book that when you hear Allah’s revelations being rejected, or ridiculed, do not sit with them until they engage in some other subject. Otherwise, you would be like them. Allah will gather the hypocrites and the disbelievers, into Hell, all together.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

He hath already revealed unto you in the Scripture that, when ye hear the revelations of Allah rejected and derided, (ye) sit not with them (who disbelieve and mock) until they engage in some other conversation. Lo! in that case (if ye stayed) ye would be like unto them. Lo! Allah will gather hypocrites and disbelievers, all together, into hell;

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

O size kitabında şunu da indirmiştir: Allah’ın âyetlerini işittiniz mi hakları inkâr ediliyor ve onlarla eğleniliyor, artık o hariflerin yanlarında oturmayın tâ'ki başka bir lâkırdıya dalsınlar, çünkü o zaman siz de onlar gibisinizdir. Şüphesiz ki Allah o Münafıklarla kâfirleri cehennemde toplayacak topunu bir.

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

On vous a déjà révélé dans le Koran que, lorsque vous êtes là pour écouter les signes de Dieu, on n’y croit pas ; on les prend en dérision. Gardez-vous donc de vous asseoir avec les infidèles, jusqu’à ce qu’ils parlent sur un autre sujet ; autrement vous deviendriez leurs semblables. Dieu réunira ensemble les hypocrites et les infidèles dans la géhenne.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

En hij heeft u reeds in het boek geopenbaard: Als gij de teekens van God zult hooren, zal men die niet gelooven, maar zullen zij met verachting bespot worden. Zit daarom niet neder met hen die niet gelooven, tot zij een ander gesprek aanvangen; anders zult gij hun gelijk worden. God zal de goddeloozen en de ongeloovigen zeker te zamen in de hel vereenigen.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Vi è stato già rivelato nel Corano che, quando voi state ad ascoltare i segni di Dio, non li credono, e li prendono in derisione. Guardatevi dunque di sedervi cogl’infedeli, finchè parlino d’un altro senso; altrimenti diverrete simili ad essi. Dio riunirà insieme gl’infedeli, e gl’ipocriti, nell’inferno.
