Translations of Quran 38:22
EnglishTalal Itani

When they entered upon David, and he was startled by them. They said, “Do not fear. Two disputants; one of us has wronged the other; so judge between us fairly, and do not be biased, and guide us to the straight way.”

EnglishPickthall, 1930

How they burst in upon David, and he was afraid of them. They said: Be not afraid! (We are) two litigants, one of whom hath wronged the other, therefor judge aright between us; be not unjust; and show us the fair way.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

O vakıt Davudun üzerine giriverdiler de onlardan telâşa düştü, korkma dediler: iki hasmız, ba'zımız ba'zımıza tecavüz etti, şimdi sen aramızda hakk ile hukmet ve aşırı gitme de bizi doğru yolun ortasına çıkar

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Quand ils se présentèrent devant David, il fut saisi de frayeur en les voyant. Ne crains rien, lui dirent-ils. Nous sommes deux adversaires. L’un de nous a agi iniquement envers l’autre. Prononce entre nous comme la justice l’exige, sans partialité, et dirige-nous sur le chemin le plus égal.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Toen zij tot David binnenkwamen, en hij bevreesd voor hen was, zeiden zij: Vrees niet, wij zijn twee tegenstanders, die een twist met elkander te beslechten hebben. De een van ons heeft den ander nadeel toegebracht: richt dus tusschen ons met waarheid: wees niet onrechtvaardig en leid ons op den rechten weg.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Quando si presentarono dinanzi a Davidde, si spaventò al loro aspetto. Non temere, gli dissero, noi siamo due avversarj. Uno di noi ha agito iniquamente coll’altro. Pronunzia fra noi come la giustizia l’esige, senza parzialità, e indirizzaci sul cammino il più eguale.
