وَإِذَا جَآءَهُمْ أَمْرٌ مِّنَ ٱلْأَمْنِ أَوِ ٱلْخَوْفِ أَذَاعُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۖ وَلَوْ رَدُّوهُ إِلَى ٱلرَّسُولِ وَإِلَىٰٓ أُو۟لِى ٱلْأَمْرِ مِنْهُمْ لَعَلِمَهُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْتَنۢبِطُونَهُۥ مِنْهُمْ ۗ وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُۥ لَٱتَّبَعْتُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا

Translations of Quran 4:83
EnglishTalal Itani

When some news of security or alarm comes their way, they broadcast it. But had they referred it to the Messenger, and to those in authority among them, those who can draw conclusions from it would have comprehended it. Were it not for Allah’s blessing and mercy upon you, you would have followed the Devil, except for a few.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And if any tidings, whether of safety or fear, come unto them, they noise it abroad, whereas if they had referred it to the messenger and to such of them as are in authority, those among them who are able to think out the matter would have known it. If it had not been for the grace of Allah upon you and His mercy ye would have followed Satan, save a few (of you).

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Hem emn-ü havfe dair bir haber geldiği vakit kendilerine onu yayıveriyorlar, halbuki onu Peygamber’e ve içlerinden ülül'emr olanlara arzetseler elbette bunların istinbata kadir olanları onu anlar bilirlerdi, eğer Allah’ın fazl-ü rahmeti üzerinizde olmasa idi pek azınızdan maadası Şeytana uymuş gitmiştiniz.

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Reçoivent-ils une nouvelle qui leur inspire de la sécurité, où telle autre qui les alarme, ils la divulguent aussitôt. S’ils l’annonçaient au prophète ou à leurs chefs, ceux qui désireraient la savoir rapprendraient de la bouche de ces derniers. Si la grâce de Dieu et sa miséricorde ne veillaient sur vous, vous suivriez Satan, tous à l’exception d’un petit nombre.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Indien zij een bericht ontvangen, waardoor hun zekerheid of vrees wordt ingeboezemd, verspreiden zij dat onmiddellijk; maar indien zij het den gezant en hunne opperhoofden vertelden, zouden zij, die waarheid begeerden, haar uit den mond van deze laatsten hooren. Indien Gods genade en zijne barmhartigheid niet over u waakten, zoudt gij, eenigen van u uitgezonderd, satan volgen.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Se ricevono una notizia che ispiri loro sicurezza, o altra che li allarmi. la divulgano subito. Se l’annunziassero al profeta, o ai loro capi, quei che desidererebbero saperla, la sentirebbero dalla bocca di questi ultimi. Se la grazia di Dio, e la sua misericordia non vegliassero su voi, la maggior parte seguirebbe il consiglio di Satana.
