قُل لَّآ أَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِى ضَرًّا وَلَا نَفْعًا إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۗ لِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلٌ ۚ إِذَا جَآءَ أَجَلُهُمْ فَلَا يَسْتَـْٔخِرُونَ سَاعَةً ۖ وَلَا يَسْتَقْدِمُونَ

Translations of Quran 10:49
EnglishTalal Itani

Say, “I have no power to harm or benefit myself, except as Allah wills. To every nation is an appointed time. Then, when their time arrives, they can neither postpone it by one hour, nor advance it.”

EnglishPickthall, 1930

Say: I have no power to hurt or benefit myself, save that which Allah willeth. For every nation there is an appointed time. When their time cometh, then they cannot put it off an hour, nor hasten (it).

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

De ki: ben kendi kendime Allahın dilediğinden başka ne bir menfeate ne de bir mazarrata malik değilim, her ümmet için bir ecel vardır, ecelleri geldiği vakıt artık bir saat geri de kalamazlar, ileri de gidemezler

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Dis-leur : Je n’ai aucun pouvoir sur ce qui m’est utile ou nuisible, sinon autant que cela plaît à Dieu. Chaque nation a son terme ; lorsque ce terme est venu, elle ne saurait le retarder ni l’avancer d’une seule heure.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Antwoord: Ik ben noch in staat om mij zelven voordeel te verschaffen, noch om ongeluk van mij af te wenden, dan wanneer het Gode behaagt. Voor ieder volk is een bepaald tijdstip vastgesteld; indien dus hun tijd is verloopen, zullen zij zelf geen uur uitstel erlangen; maar ook hunne straf zal nimmer vervroegd worden.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Di’ loro: Io non ho alcun potere su ciò che mi giova, o che mi nuoce, a meno che ciò non piaccia a Dio. Ogni nazione deve finire; quando questo momento è arrivato, essa non potrebbe, nè ritardarlo, nè anticiparlo d’un’ora.
