Quran 30:9
أَوَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُوا۟ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَـٰقِبَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ كَانُوٓا۟ أَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً وَأَثَارُوا۟ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَعَمَرُوهَآ أَكْثَرَ مِمَّا عَمَرُوهَا وَجَآءَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ ۖ فَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيَظْلِمَهُمْ وَلَـٰكِن كَانُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ
| EnglishTalal Itani | Have they not traveled the earth and seen how those before them ended up? They were more powerful than them, and they cultivated the land and developed it more than they developed it, and their messengers came to them with clear signs. Allah would never wrong them, but they used to wrong themselves. |

| EnglishPickthall, 1930 | Have they not travelled in the land and seen the nature of the consequence for those who were before them? They were stronger than these in power, and they dug the earth and built upon it more than these have built. Messengers of their own came unto them with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty). Surely Allah wronged them not, but they did wrong themselves. |
| TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935 | Ya Yer yüzünde gezib bir bakmadılar da mı? Nasıl olmuş akıbeti kendilerinden evvelkilerin? Kuvvetçe kendilerinden daha şiddetli idiler, Arzı aktarmışlar ve onu kendilerinin ı'marından ziyade ı'mar etmişlerdi, Peygamberleri de onlara beyyinat ile gelmişlerdi, demek Allah onlara zulmetmiyordu velâkin kendileri nefislerine zulmediyorlardı |
| FrenchKazimirski, 1840 | N’ont-ils point voyagé dans les pays ? n’y ont-ils pas vu quelle a été la fin de leurs devanciers plus robustes qu’eux ? Ils ont sillonné le pays de routes et de digues ; ils en habitaient une partie plus considérable que ceux-ci. Des apôtres se présentèrent chez eux, accompagnés de preuves évidentes. Ce n’est pas Dieu qui les a traités durement ; ils ont été iniques envers eux-mêmes. |
| DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French | Gaan zij niet over de aarde, en zien zij niet wat het einde was van degenen die hen voorafgingen? Deze overtroffen de bewoners van Mekka in kracht, braken de aarde open en woonden daar in grooteren overvloed en voorspoed dan zij; en hunne gezanten kwamen met duidelijke wonderen tot hen, en God was niet geneigd, hen onrechtvaardig te behandelen; maar zij mishandelden hunne eigene zielen door hun hardnekkig ongeloof. |
| ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French | Non hanno essi viaggiato nel paese? Non han veduta qual’è stata la fine de’ loro antenati più robusti di essi? Hanno solcato il paese (di strade, e di argini); ne abitavano una parte più considerevole che essi. Vennero degli apostoli con prove evidenți. Non è Dio che li ha trattati con durezza; essi sono stati iniqui verso se stessi. |
