Translation

EN

Do the (ungodly) wait until the angels come to them, or there comes the Command of thy Lord (for their doom)? So did those who went before them. But Allah wronged them not: nay, they wronged their own souls.

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

Are the disbelievers waiting for the angels to come to them, or your Lord’s Judgement? Those who went before them did the same. God did not wrong them; they wronged themselves.

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

Await they aught say that the angels should come unto them or thy Lord's command should come to pass? Even so did those before them. Allah wronged them not, but they did wrong themselves,

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

Do they [i.e., the disbelievers] await except that the angels should come to them or there comes the command of your Lord? Thus did those do before them. And Allāh wronged them not, but they had been wronging themselves.

TR

Onlar kendilerine yalnız meleklerin veya senin Rabbinin buyruğunun gelmesini mi bekliyorlar? Onlardan öncekiler de böyle yapmışlardı. Allah onlara zulmetmemişti, ama onlar kendilerine yazık ediyorlardı.

Diyanet İşleriall-rights-reserved

Ancak kendilerine, ruhlarını alacak meleklerin gelmesini veya Rabbinin azab emrinin (kıyametin) gelip çatmasını bekliyorlar! Kendilerinden öncekiler de böyle yapmışlardı. Allah onlara zulmetmedi, fakat onlar kendilerine zulmetmişlerdi.

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain

(Kâfirler) ille de kendilerine meleklerin gelmesini (karşılarına çıkmasını) veya Rabbinin (azap) emrinin gelmesini mi bekliyorlar! Onlardan öncekiler de böyle yapmışlardı. Allah onlara haksızlık etmedi fakat onlar kendilerine yazık ediyorlardı.

ما ينتظر المشركون إلا أن تأتيهم الملائكة؛ لتقبض أرواحهم وهم على الكفر، أو يأتي أمر الله بعذاب عاجل يهلكهم، كما كذَّب هؤلاء كذَّب الكفار مِن قبلهم، فأهلكهم الله، وما ظلمهم الله بإهلاكهم، وإنزال العذاب بهم، ولكنهم هم الذين كانوا يظلمون أنفسهم بما جعلهم أهلا للعذاب.
