Translations of Quran 42:18
EnglishTalal Itani

Those who do not believe in it seek to hasten it; but those who believe are apprehensive of it, and they know it to be the truth. Absolutely, those who question the Hour are in distant error.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

Those who believe not therein seek to hasten it, while those who believe are fearful of it and know that it is the Truth. Are not they who dispute, in doubt concerning the Hour, far astray?

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Onu inanmayan iymansızlar acele isterler, iyman edenler ise hak olduğunu bilirler de ondan korkar sakınırlar, iyi bil ki o saat hakkında mücadele edenler her halde uzak bir dalal içindedirler

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Ceux qui ne croient pas veulent la hâter ; ceux qui croient tremblent à son souvenir, car ils savent qu’elle est vraie. Oh ! que ceux qui doutent de l’heure sont égarés !

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Zij, die daaraan niet gelooven, wenschen het langs den weg der spotternij te verhaasten; maar zij die gelooven, beven daarvoor en weten dat het de waarheid is. Verkeeren niet zij, die omtrent het jongste uur twisten, in eene dwaling?

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Quei che non credono vogliono affrettarla; quei che credono tremano al rammentarla, imperocchè sanno ch’è vera. Oh! che quei che dubitano dell’ora sono smarriti!
