وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتُضْعِفُوا۟ لِلَّذِينَ ٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ بَلْ مَكْرُ ٱلَّيْلِ وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذْ تَأْمُرُونَنَآ أَن نَّكْفُرَ بِٱللَّهِ وَنَجْعَلَ لَهُۥٓ أَندَادًا ۚ وَأَسَرُّوا۟ ٱلنَّدَامَةَ لَمَّا رَأَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلْأَغْلَـٰلَ فِىٓ أَعْنَاقِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ ۚ هَلْ يُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

Translations of Quran 34:33
EnglishTalal Itani

And those who were oppressed will say to those who were arrogant, “It was your scheming by night and day; as you instructed us to reject Allah, and to set up rivals to Him.” They will hide their remorse when they see the retribution. We will put yokes around the necks of those who disbelieved. Will they be repaid for anything other than what they used to do?

EnglishPickthall, 1930

Those who were despised say unto those who were proud: Nay but (it was your) scheming night and day, when ye commanded us to disbelieve in Allah and set up rivals unto Him. And they are filled with remorse when they behold the doom; and We place carcans on the necks of those who disbelieved. Are they requited aught save what they used to do?

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

O zebûn edilenler de o büyüklük taslayanlara demektedir: hayır işiniz gece gündüz dolap, çünkü sizler bizlere hep Allaha küfretmemizi ve ona menendler koşmamızı emrediyordunuz, ve böyle atışırlarken hepsi azâbı gördükleri o demde içlerinden pişmanlık getirmektedirler, tomrukları geçirmişizdir de boyunlarına hep o küfredenlerin, sâde yaptıklarının cezasını çekiyorlardır

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Et les faibles répondront aux puissants : Non, ce sont vos ruses de chaque jour et de chaque nuit, lorsque vous nous commandiez de ne point croire en Dieu et de lui donner des égaux. Tous ils cacheront leur dépit à la vue des tourments. Nous chargerons de chaînes le cou des infidèles. Seraient-ils rétribués autrement qu’ils n’ont agi ?

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

En de zwakken zullen antwoordden: Neen, de listige plannen, door u des nachts en der daags beraamd, hebben ons ongeluk veroorzaakt, toen gij ons hebt bevolen, dat wij niet in God moesten gelooven en dat wij andere goden, als gelijkstaande met hem, zouden oprichten. En zij zullen hun berouw verbergen, nadat zij de straf zullen hebben gezien, die voor hen is gereed gemaakt. En wij zullen jukken leggen op den nek van hen, die niet zullen hebben geloofd. Zouden zij op eene andere wijze worden beloond, dan in overeenstemming met hetgeen zij hebben verricht?

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

E i deboli risponderanno ai potenti: No, sono le vostre insidie d’ogni giorno, e d’ogni notte, quando ci comandavate di non credere in Dio, e di dargli degli eguali. Tutti nasconderanno la loro rabbia alla vista de tormenti. Caricheremo di catene il collo degl’infedeli. Saranno essi compensati diversamente da come hanno agito?
