Translations of Quran 34:12
EnglishTalal Itani

And for Solomon the wind—its outward journey was one month, and its return journey was one month. And We made a spring of tar flow for him. And there were sprites that worked under him, by the leave of his Lord. But whoever of them swerved from Our command, We make him taste of the punishment of the Inferno.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And unto Solomon (We gave) the wind, whereof the morning course was a month's journey and the evening course a month's journey, and We caused the fount of copper to gush forth for him, and (We gave him) certain of the jinn who worked before him by permission of his Lord. And such of them as deviated from Our command, them We caused to taste the punishment of flaming fire.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Süleymana da rüzgâr: sabah gidişi bir ay, akşam dönüşü bir ay, erimiş bakır menbaını da ona seyl gibi akıttık, hem rabbının iznile elinin altında Cinnîlerden de çalışan vardı, onlardan da her kim emrimizden inhiraf ederse ona Saîr azâbını tattırırız

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Nous assujettîmes le vent à Salomon. Il soufflait un mois le matin et un mois le soir. Nous fîmes couler pour lui une fontaine d’airain. Les génies travaillaient sous ses yeux, par la permission du Seigneur, et quiconque s’écartait de nos ordres était livré au supplice du brasier ardent.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

En wij onderwierpen den wind aan Salomo; des ochtends gedurende eene maand, en des avonds gedurende eene maand. En wij maakten eene fontein van gesmolten koper, om voor hem te vloeien. En sommige der geniussen waren door den wil van zijn Heer verplicht, in zijne tegenwoordigheid te arbeiden, en wie van hen zich van ons bevel afwendde, zullen wij de pijn van het hellevuur doen proeven.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Rendemmo soggetto il vento a Salomone. Soffiava un mese la mattina ed un mese la sera. Facemmo scorrere per lui una fontana di rame. I genj lavoravano sotto i suoi occhi col permesso del Signore, e chiunque si dipartiva da’ nostri ordini era dannato al supplizio del fuoco ardente.
