Surah At-Tawbah (The Repentance), verse 74 of 129 · Juz 10

يَحْلِفُونَ بِٱللَّهِ مَا قَالُوا۟ وَلَقَدْ قَالُوا۟ كَلِمَةَ ٱلْكُفْرِ وَكَفَرُوا۟ بَعْدَ إِسْلَـٰمِهِمْ وَهَمُّوا۟ بِمَا لَمْ يَنَالُوا۟ ۚ وَمَا نَقَمُوٓا۟ إِلَّآ أَنْ أَغْنَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُۥ مِن فَضْلِهِۦ ۚ فَإِن يَتُوبُوا۟ يَكُ خَيْرًا لَّهُمْ ۖ وَإِن يَتَوَلَّوْا۟ يُعَذِّبْهُمُ ٱللَّهُ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ ۚ وَمَا لَهُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِن وَلِىٍّ وَلَا نَصِيرٍ

Translations of Quran 9:74
EnglishTalal Itani

They swear by Allah that they said nothing; but they did utter the word of blasphemy, and they renounced faith after their submission. And they plotted what they could not attain. They were resentful only because Allah and His Messenger have enriched them out of His grace. If they repent, it would be best for them; but if they turn away, Allah will afflict them with a painful punishment—in this life and in the Hereafter—and they will have on earth no protector and no savior.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

They swear by Allah that they said nothing (wrong), yet they did say the word of disbelief, and did disbelieve after their Surrender (to Allah). And they purposed that which they could not attain, and they sought revenge only that Allah by His messenger should enrich them of His bounty. If they repent it will be better for them; and if they turn away, Allah will afflict them with a painful doom in the world and the Hereafter, and they have no protecting friend nor helper in the earth.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Allaha yemin ediyorlar: söylememişler, kasem olsun o kelimei küfrü söylediler, islâma geldikten sonra yine kâfirlik ettiler ve o muvaffak olamadıkları cinayeti kurdular, halbuki intikam almağa kalkmaları için kendilerini Allahın Resuliyle fadlı ilâhîsinden zenginleştirmiş olmasından başka bir sebeb de yoktu, bunun üzerine tevbe ederlerse haklarında hayırlı olur, yok yan çizerlerse Allah onları Dünya ve Âhırette elîm bir azab ile ta'zib eder, ve yer yüzünde onlar için ne himaye, ne imdad edecek kimse bulunmaz

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Ils jurent par le nom de Dieu de n’avoir pas dit telle chose, et cependant ils ont dit la parole de l’incrédulité, ils sont devenus infidèles après avoir embrasse l’islam. Ils ont formé un dessein, mais ne l’ont point accompli, et ils ne l’ont formé que parce que Dieu et son apôtre les ont enrichis par l’effet de leur bonté. S’ils se convertissent, cela leur sera plus avantageux ; mais, s’ils tergiversent, Dieu les châtiera d’un châtiment douloureux dans ce monde et dans l’autre. Sur toute la terre ils ne trouveront ni protection ni aide.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Zij zweren bij God, dat zij niet zeiden waarvan zij worden beschuldigd, en toch hebben zij het woord van ongeloovigheid geuit en werden ongeloovigen, nadat zij den Islam hadden omhelsd. En zij vormden een plan, maar konden het niet volvoeren; en zij vormden het niet, dan omdat God en zijn gezant hen door hunne goedheid hebben verrijkt. Indien zij zich bekeeren, zal het beter voor hen zijn; maar indien zij terugtrekken, zal God hen met eene strenge pijniging straffen, zoo wel in deze als in de volgende wereld, en zij zullen noch eenen schuts op aarde noch eenen beschermer hebben.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Giurano per il nome di Dio di non aver detta tal cosa, e nonostante hanno detta la parola dell’incredulità, sono divenuti infedeli dopo aver abbracciato l’islamismo. Hanno formato un disegno, ma non l’hanno eseguito e non l’hanno formato che perchè Dio, ed il suo apostolo li hanno arricchiti della loro bontà. Se si convertiranno, ciò sarà loro più vantaggioso; ma se tergiverseranno, Dio li gastigherà con un gastigo doloroso in questo mondo, e nell’altro. Su tutta la terra non troveranno nè protettore nè ajuto.
