Translations of Quran 4:38
EnglishTalal Itani

And those who spend their money to be seen by people, and believe neither in Allah nor in the Last Day. Whoever has Satan as a companion—what an evil companion.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And (also) those who spend their wealth in order to be seen of men, and believe not in Allah nor the Last Day. Whoso taketh Satan for a comrade, a bad comrade hath he.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Onlar ki Allah’a ve Âhiret gününe inanmazlar da mallarını nasa gösteriş için sarfederler, her kim de kendine Şeytan arkadaş olursa artık o ne fena arkadaştır.

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Il n’aime pas ceux qui font l’aumône par ostentation et qui ne croient point en Dieu et au jour dernier. Quiconque a Satan pour compagnon, celui-là a un mauvais compagnon.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Hij bemint degenen niet, die aalmoezen geven om door de menschen te worden opgemerkt, en in God noch in den jongsten dag gelooven. Hij, die satan tot makker heeft, bezit een slechten makker.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Non ama coloro che fanno l’elemosina per ostentazione, e che non credono in Dio, ed al giorno ultimo. Chi ha per compagno Satanasso, ha un cattivo compagno.
