Translations of Quran 39:9
EnglishTalal Itani

Is he who worships devoutly during the watches of the night, prostrating himself and standing up, mindful of the Hereafter, and placing his hope in the mercy of his Lord? Say, “Are those who know and those who do not know equal?” Only those possessed of reason will remember.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

Is he who payeth adoration in the watches of the night, prostrate and standing, bewaring of the Hereafter and hoping for the mercy of his Lord, (to be accounted equal with a disbeliever)? Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Are those who know equal with those who know not? But only men of understanding will pay heed.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Yoksa o gece saatlerinde kalkan secdeye kapanıp kıyam durarak dâima vazıfesini yapan Âhıreti sayar ve rabbının rahmetini umar kimse gibi olur mu? Hiç bilirlerle bilmezler müsavi olur mu? Ancak temiz akıllı olanlar anlar

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

L’homme pieux qui passe la nuit à adorer Dieu, prosterné ou debout, qui appréhende la vie future, et espère dans la miséricorde de Dieu, serait-il traité comme l’impie ? Dis : Ceux qui savent et ceux qui ignorent seront-ils traités de la même manière ? Que les hommes doués de sens réfléchissent.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Zal hij, die zich in de uren des nachts aan het gebed overgeeft, nedergebogen en staande, en die zorg draagt voor het volgende leven en op de genade van zijn Heer hoopt, behandeld worden als de goddeloozen? Zeg: Zullen zij, die hunnen plicht kennen en zij, die dien niet kennen, gelijk staan? Waarlijk alleen de man van verstand zal gewaarschuwd worden.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

L’uomo pio che passa la notte ad adorare Dio, prostrato, od in piedi, che teme la vita futura, e che spera nella misericordia di Dio, sarà egli trattato come l’empio? Di’: Quei che sanno, e quei che non sanno saranno trattati nella stessa maniera? Gli uomini dotati d’intendimento vi riflettano.
