Translations of Quran 39:67
EnglishTalal Itani

They have not esteemed Allah as He ought to be esteemed. The entire earth will be in His grip on the Day of Resurrection, and the heavens will be folded in His right. Immaculate is He, and Transcendent He is beyond the associations they make.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And they esteem not Allah as He hath the right to be esteemed, when the whole earth is His handful on the Day of Resurrection, and the heavens are rolled in His right hand. Glorified is He and High Exalted from all that they ascribe as partner (unto Him).

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Allahı hakkıyle takdir edemediler, halbuki bütün Arz Kıyamet günü onun bir kabzası Göklerde yemînine dürülmüşlerdir, çok münezzeh ve çok yüksektir o sübhan onların şirkinden

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Mais ils ne savent point apprécier Dieu comme il doit l’être. Au jour de la résurrection, toute la terre ne sera qu’une poignée de poussière entre ses mains , et les cieux seront ployés comme un rouleau dans sa droite. Louange à lui ! il est trop élevé au-dessus des divinités qu’on lui associe.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Maar zij schatten God niet op de juiste waarde, terwijl de geheele aarde op den dag der opstanding, slechts eene handvol voor hem zal uitmaken, en de hemelen in zijne rechterhand ineengerold zullen worden. Geloofd zij hij, en verre verheven boven de afgoden, welke zij met hem vereenigen!

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Ma non sanno apprezzare Dio come dev’esserlo. Il giorno della resurrezione, tutta la terra non sarà che un pugno (di polvere fra le sue mani), ed i cieli come un rotolo saran piegati nella sua dritta. Lode a lui; egli è troppo al disopra delle divinità che gli si associano.
