Translations of Quran 9:17
EnglishTalal Itani

It is not for the polytheists to attend Allah’s places of worship while professing their disbelief. These—their works are in vain, and in the Fire they will abide.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

It is not for the idolaters to tend Allah's sanctuaries, bearing witness against themselves of disbelief. As for such, their works are vain and in the Fire they will abide.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Müşrikler vicdanlarına karşı kendi küfürlerine kendileri şâhid olub dururlarken Allahın mescidlerini ma'mur etmeleri kabil değildir, onların hayır namına bütün yaptıkları heder ve ateş içinde onlar, muahlledlerdir

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Et pourquoi les infidèles visiteraient-ils les temples de Dieu, lorsqu’ils sont eux-mêmes témoins de leur infidélité ? Leurs œuvres deviendront nulles, et ils demeureront éternellement dans le feu.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

En waarom zouden de ongeloovigen Gods tempelen bezoeken? daar zij zelven getuigen van hun ongeloof tegen hunne eigene zielen zijn. De werken dier menschen zijn ijdel, en zij zullen eeuwig in de hel verblijven.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Gl’idolatri non devono visitare il tempio di Dio, mentre essi stessi palesano la loro incredulità. Le loro opere diverranno nulle, ed essi resteranno eternamente nel fuoco.
