Translations of Quran 30:39
EnglishTalal Itani

The usury you practice, seeking thereby to multiply people’s wealth, will not multiply with Allah. But what you give in charity, desiring Allah’s approval—these are the multipliers.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

That which ye give in usury in order that it may increase on (other) people's property hath no increase with Allah; but that which ye give in charity, seeking Allah's Countenance, hath increase manifold.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Nâsın mallarında nemalansın diye verdiğiniz ribâ (fâız) Allah yanında nemalanmaz, Allah yüzünü murad ederek verdiğiniz zekât ise katlayanlar işte onlardır

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

L’argent que vous donnez à usure pour le grossir avec le bien des autres ne grossira pas auprès de Dieu ; mais toute aumône que vous ferez pour obtenir les regards bienveillants de Dieu vous sera doublée.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Wat gij in woeker zult geven, om het uwe met der menschen bezittingen te vergrooten, zal niet vergroot worden, dan door Gods zegen; maar wat gij aan aalmoezen geeft voor Gods zaak, daarvoor zult gij eene tweevoudige belooning ontvangen.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

(Il denaro) che date ad usura per accrescerlo col bene altrui, non accrescerà presso Dio; ma l’elemosina che farete per ottenere gli sguardi (benevoli) di Dio vi sarà raddoppiata.
