Translations of Quran 4:81
EnglishTalal Itani

They profess obedience, but when they leave your presence, some of them conspire something contrary to what you said. But Allah writes down what they conspire. So avoid them, and put your trust in Allah. Allah is Guardian enough.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And they say: (It is) obedience; but when they have gone forth from thee a party of them spend the night in planning other than what thou sayest. Allah recordeth what they plan by night. So oppose them and put thy trust in Allah. Allah is sufficient as Trustee.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Bâş üstüne diyorlar sonra da yanından çıktıklarında içlerinden bir takımı dediklerinin hilâfına tezvirat yapıyorlar, Allah da yaptıkları tezviratı kaydediyor, onun için sen yüzlerine vurmaktan vaz geç de Allah’a havale et Allah vekil yeter.

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Ils disent devant toi : Nous obéissons. Sortis de ta présence, la plupart d’entre eux couvent dans la trait des desseins contraires à leurs paroles ; mais Dieu met par écrit leurs machinations. Éloigne-toi d’eux, et mets ta confiance en Dieu. Il te suffira de l’avoir pour défenseur.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Zij zeggen: Wij gehoorzamen, maar als gij van hen vertrokken zijt, dan bepeinst een deel hunner, gedurende den nacht zaken, die tegen datgene strijden, wat gij zeidet. Maar God zal opschrijven wat zij des nachts overdenken. Laat hen daarom alleen en vertrouw op God; want Gods bescherming is steeds toereikend.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Essi dicono dinanzi a te: Noi obbediamo. Se si allontanano dalla tua presenza, Corano nella maggior parte durante la notte disegni contrarj alle loro parole; ma Dio registra le loro machinazioni. Separati da loro, e metti la tua fiducia in Dio. Ti basterà di averlo per difensore.
