Translation

EN

Why was there not a single township (among those We warned), which believed,- so its faith should have profited it,- except the people of Jonah? When they believed, We removed from them the penalty of ignominy in the life of the present, and permitted them to enjoy (their life) for a while.

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

If only a single town had believed and benefited from its belief! Only Jonah’s people did so, and when they believed, We relieved them of the punishment of disgrace in the life of this world, and let them enjoy life for a time.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleemall-rights-reserved

If only there had been a community (of all those that were destroyed of old) that believed and profited by its belief as did the folk of Jonah! When they believed We drew off from them the torment of disgrace in the life of the world and gave them comfort for a while.

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

Then has there not been a [single] city that believed so its faith benefited it except the people of Jonah? When they believed, We removed from them the punishment of disgrace in worldly life and gave them enjoyment [i.e., provision] for a time.

Bir kent halkı inanmalı değil miydi ki, imanları kendilerine fayda versin! İşte Yunus'un milleti, inandığı zaman, dünya hayatında rezilliği gerektiren azabı onlardan kaldırdık ve onları bir süre daha bu dünyada geçindirdik.

Diyanet İşleriall-rights-reserved

Fakat o vakit iman edip de imanları kendilerine fayda vermiş bir kasaba olsaydı? Ancak Yunus'un kavmi iman ettikleri vakit, dünya hayatında o rezillik azabını üzerlerinden kaldırmış ve bir süre onları rahata kavuşturmuştuk.

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain

Yunus’un kavmi hariç, herhangi bir şehir (halkı), keşke iman etmiş olsaydı da bu imanları kendilerine yarar sağlasaydı! (Yunus’un kavmi) iman edince, kendilerinden dünya hayatındaki rezillik azabını kaldırmış ve onları bir süre (daha) yararlandırmıştık.

لم ينفع الإيمان أهل قرية آمنوا عند معاينة العذاب إلا أهل قرية يونس بن مَتَّى، فإنهم لـمَّا أيقنوا أن العذاب نازل بهم تابوا إلى الله تعالى توبة نصوحا، فلمَّا تبيَّن منهم الصدق في توبتهم كشف الله عنهم عذاب الخزي بعد أن اقترب منهم، وتركهم في الدنيا يستمتعون إلى وقت إنهاء آجالهم.
