Translations of Quran 20:131
EnglishTalal Itani

And do not extend your glance towards what We have given some classes of them to enjoy—the splendor of the life of this world—that We may test them thereby. Your Lord’s provision is better, and more lasting.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And strain not thine eyes toward that which We cause some wedded pairs among them to enjoy, the flower of the life of the world, that We may try them thereby. The provision of thy Lord is better and more lasting.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Ve sakın öyle şey'e gözlerini uzatma ki biz onun hakkında kâfirleri fitneye düşürmek için onunla bir kaç çiftini Dünya hayatın cici bicisinden zevkıyab etmişizdir, halbuki rabbının rızkı hem daha hayırlı, hem daha bakalıdır

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Ne porte point tes yeux sur les divers biens dont nous les faisons jouir, sur le clinquant de ce monde que nous leur donnons pour les éprouver. La portion que ton Seigneur t’assigne vaut mieux et est plus durable.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

En werp uwe oogen niet op datgene wat wij aan verschillende ongeloovigen hebben verleend, om zich er in te verheugen: namelijk den glans van dit leven, om hen daardoor te beproeven; want het deel van uwen Heer is beter en van langeren duur.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Non fissare gli occhi sui beni di cui li facciamo godere in questo mondo, che loro diamo per provarli. La porzione che il tuo Signore t’assegna vale più, ed è più durevole.
