Translations of Quran 10:11
EnglishTalal Itani

If Allah were to accelerate the ill for the people, as they wish to accelerate the good, their term would have been fulfilled. But We leave those who do not expect Our encounter to blunder in their excesses.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

If Allah were to hasten on for men the ill (that they have earned) as they would hasten on the good, their respite would already have expired. But We suffer those who look not for the meeting with Us to wander blindly on in their contumacy.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Eğer Allah, insanlara şerri onların hayır ivercesine ivdikleri gibi iyvecek olsa idi ecellerini kendilerine yetiriverir idi fakat likamızı arzu etmiyenleri bırakırız tuğyanlarında körkörüne giderler

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Si Dieu voulait hâter le mal à l’égard des hommes, comme il hâte le bien, leur terme serait bientôt arrivé. Mais nous laissons ceux qui n’espèrent point nous voir après leur mort, s’abandonner aveuglément à leur égarement.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Indien God het kwade bij de menschen wilde verhaasten, zooals hunne begeerte is om het goede te zien bespoedigen, waarlijk, dan zou hun einde spoedig gekomen zijn; maar wij laten hen, die ons niet na hunnen dood hopen te zien, zich blindelings aan hunne dwalingen overgeven.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Se Dio volesse affrettare il male agli uomini, come affretta il bene, il loro termine sarebbe presto arrivato. Ma noi lasciamo quei che non sperano vederci dopo la loro morte abbandonarsi ciecamente al loro smarrimento.
