أَلَمْ يَأْتِهِمْ نَبَأُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ قَوْمِ نُوحٍ وَعَادٍ وَثَمُودَ وَقَوْمِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَأَصْحَـٰبِ مَدْيَنَ وَٱلْمُؤْتَفِكَـٰتِ ۚ أَتَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُم بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ ۖ فَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيَظْلِمَهُمْ وَلَـٰكِن كَانُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ

Translations of Quran 9:70
EnglishTalal Itani

Have they not heard the stories of those before them? The people of Noah, and Aad, and Thamood; and the people of Abraham, and the inhabitants of Midian, and the Overturned Cities? Their messengers came to them with the clear proofs. Allah never wronged them, but they used to wrong their own selves.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

Hath not the fame of those before them reached them - the folk of Noah, A'ad, Thamud, the folk of Abraham, the dwellers of Midian and the disasters (which befell them)? Their messengers (from Allah) came unto them with proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty). So Allah surely wronged them not, but they did wrong themselves.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Bunlara o kendilerinden evvelkilerin: kavmı Nuhun, Âdın, Semudün, kavmı İbrahimin, Eshabı medyenin, Mü'tefikelerin haberi gelmedi mi? Hep bunlara Peygamberleri beyyinelerle gelmişlerdi, demek ki Allah onlara zulmetmiş değil idi ve lâkin kendileri kendilerine zulmediyorlardı

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

N’ont-ils point entendu l’histoire de leurs devanciers du peuple de Noé, d’Ad, de Themoud, du peuple d’Abraham, des habitants de Madian et des villes renversées ? Ils eurent des apôtres accompagnés de signes évidents. Ce n’est point Dieu qui a agi mal envers eux, ce sont eux-mêmes.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Waart gij niet bekend met de geschiedenis van hen, die vóór hen bestonden? Van het volk van Noach, van Ad en van Themoed, en van het volk van Abraham, en van de bewoners van Madian, en van de steden die verwoest werden? Hunne apostelen kwamen tot hen met duidelijke aanwijzingen, en God was niet geneigd hen onrechtvaardig te behandelen; maar zij handelden onrechtvaardig met hunne eigene zielen.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Non hanno essi intesa la storia de’ loro antenati, del popolo di Noè, di Ad, di Themud, del popolo di Abramo, degli abitanti di Madian, e delle città rovesciate! Ebbero degli apostoli accompagnati da segni evidenti. Non è Dio che ha agito male verso di loro, ma essi stessi.
