Translations of Quran 10:21
EnglishTalal Itani

When We make the people taste mercy after some adversity has touched them, they begin to scheme against Our revelations. Say, “Allah is swifter in scheming.” Our envoys are writing down what you scheme.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And when We cause mankind to taste of mercy after some adversity which had afflicted them, behold! they have some plot against Our revelations. Say: Allah is more swift in plotting. Lo! Our messengers write down that which ye plot.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

İnsanlara dokunan bir sıkıntıdan sonra bir rahmet tattırdığımız zaman da âyetlerimiz hakkında derhal bir mekirleri vardır, de ki: Allahın mekri daha çabuktur, haberiniz olsun: elçilerimiz yaptığınız mekirleri yazıb duruyorlar

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Nous avons fait goûter notre miséricorde aux hommes (aux Mecquois) après les malheurs qui les avaient atteints, et voici qu’ils ont recours aux subterfuges par rapport à nos signes. Dis-leur : Dieu est plus adroit à manier le subterfuge, et nos envoyés couchent par écrit les vôtres.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

En toen wij de bewoners van Mekka onze genade deden proeven, nadat zij door ongelukken waren overvallen, onthoudt het, dachten zij eene list tegen onze teekens uit. Zeg hun: God is behendiger in het uitvoeren eener list dan gij. Waarlijk, onze gezanten schrijven op wat gij bedriegelijk uitdenkt.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

la nostra misericordia agli uomini dopo le disgrazie che li avevano afflitti, ed ora essi ricorrono ai sutterfugi rapporto ai nostri segni. Di’ loro: Dio è più destro a manovrare i sutterfugi; i nostri inviati mettono in iscritto i vostri.
