Translations of Quran 20:97
EnglishTalal Itani

He said, “Begone! Your lot in this life is to say, ‘No contact.’ And you have an appointment that you will not miss. Now look at your god that you remained devoted to—we will burn it up, and then blow it away into the sea, as powder.”

EnglishPickthall, 1930

(Moses) said: Then go! and lo! in this life it is for thee to say: Touch me not! and lo! there is for thee a tryst thou canst not break. Now look upon thy god of which thou hast remained a votary. Verily we will burn it and will scatter its dust over the sea.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Haydi, dedi, defol, çünkü sana hayatta şöyle demek var, temas yok, hem sana bir vaîd var ki ona aslâ hulfedilmiyeceksin, o başını bekleyip durduğun ilâhına da bak, her halde biz onu yakacağız da yakacağız, sonra da kül edip onu muhakkak deryaya dökeceğiz

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

— Éloigne-toi d’ici, lui dit Moïse. Ton châtiment dans ce monde sera celui-ci. Tu diras à quiconque te rencontrera : Ne me touchez pas. En outre, il t’est réservé une comparution (dans l’autre monde) à laquelle tu ne saurais échapper. Jette les yeux sur ce dieu que tu as adoré avec tant de dévotion. Nous le brûlerons, nous le réduirons en poudre et le jetterons dans la mer.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Mozes zeide: Verwijder u; uwe straf in dit leven zal zijn, dat gij hen welke gij ontmoet, zult zeggen: Raak mij niet aan! en gij zijt met vreeselijker pijnen in het volgende leven bedreigd, welke gij nimmer zult ontkomen. Werp thans uw oog op uwen god, dien gij met zooveel onderwerping hebt aangebeden; waarlijk wij zullen dien verbranden, tot stof verkeeren en in de zee werpen.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Allontanati di qua, gli disse Mosè; il tuo gastigo in questo mondo sarà questo. Dirai a chiunque incontrerai: Non mi toccate. Ti è riservata inoltre un’apparizione alla quale non potrai sottrarti. Volgi gli occhi su quel Dio che hai adorato con tanta devozione. Noi lo incendieremo, lo ridurremo in polvere, e lo getteremo nel mare.
