Otherwise, if a calamity befell them as a result of what their hands have perpetrated, they would say, “Our Lord, if only You had sent us a messenger, we would have followed Your revelations, and been among the believers.”

Ellerinin takdim eylediği günahlar yüzünden başlarına birer musîbet gelib de o vakıt «ya rabbenâ bize bir Resûl gönderseydin de âyetlerine uyup verilse ya!» Dediler, ya bundan evvel Mûsâya verilene küfretmediler mi? İki sihir tezâhür etti dediler ve biz hiç birisine inanmayız dediler

Afin qu’ils ne disent pas, quand la calamité les atteindra : Seigneur, pourquoi ne nous as-tu pas envoyé un apôtre ? nous au rions suivi tes signes et nous aurions cru.

En opdat, indien een ramp over hen zou zijn gekomen, om hetgeen hunne handen voor bedachtelijk hebben bedreven, zij niet zouden zeggen: O Heer! is het ons niet te vergeven, nu gij geen gezant tot ons hebt gezonden, opdat wij uwe teekenen zouden volgen en ware geloovigen worden?

Acciò non dicano quando li colpirà la disgrazia: Signore, perchè non ci hai mandato un apostolo? avremmo seguito i tuoi segni, ed avremmo creduto.
