Translations of Quran 10:12
EnglishTalal Itani

Whenever adversity touches the human being, he prays to Us—reclining on his side, or sitting, or standing. But when We have relieved his adversity from him, he goes away, as though he had never called on Us for trouble that had afflicted him. Thus the deeds of the transgressors appear good to them.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And if misfortune touch a man he crieth unto Us, (while reclining) on his side, or sitting or standing, but when We have relieved him of the misfortune he goeth his way as though he had not cried unto Us because of a misfortune that afflicted him. Thus is what they do made (seeming) fair unto the prodigal.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

İnsana bir sıkıntı da dokundumu gerek yan yatarken gerek otururken gerek dikilirken bize duâ eder durur derken kendisinden sıkıntısını açıverdikmi sanki kendine dokunan bir sıkıntı için bize yalvarmamış gibi geçer gider, işte o müsriflere yaptıkları ameller böyle tezyin edilmektedir

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Qu’un mal quelconque frappe l’homme, il nous appelle couché sur le flanc, ou assis, ou debout ; mais, aussitôt que nous l’en avons délivré, le voilà qui marche à son aise, comme s’il ne nous avait pas appelé pendant le mal qui l’avait atteint. Ainsi sont arrangées les actions des transgresseurs.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Indien een mensch kwaad overkomt, bidt hij tot ons, liggende op zijne zijde, of zittende of staande, maar indien wij hem van zijne bedroeving verlossen, vervolgt hij zijne vroegere levenswijze, alsof hij ons niet had aangeroepen om hem tegen het kwaad te verdedigen, dat hem was overkomen. Zoo werd dus, wat de zondaren bedreven, hun voorbereid.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Se l’uomo sarà colpito dila qualche male, dovrà invocarci giacente di fianco, seduto, od in piedi; ma subito che noi lo abbiamo liberato, eccolo che cammina come se non ci avesse chiamato mentre il male l’avea colpito. Così sono tollerate le azioni dei trasgressori.
