Translation

EN

And We refrain from sending the signs, only because the men of former generations treated them as false: We sent the she-camel to the Thamud to open their eyes, but they treated her wrongfully: We only send the Signs by way of terror (and warning from evil).

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

Nothing prevents Us from sending miraculous signs, except the fact that previous peoples denied them. We gave the people of Thamud the she-camel as a clear sign, yet they maltreated it. We send signs only to give warning.

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

Naught hindereth Us from sending portents save that the folk of old denied them. And We gave Thamud the she-camel - a clear portent save to warn.

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

And nothing has prevented Us from sending signs [i.e., miracles] except that the former peoples denied them. And We gave Thamūd the she-camel as a visible sign, but they wronged her. And We send not the signs except as a warning.

TR

Bizi mucize göndermekten alıkoyan, ancak, öncekilerin onları yalanlamış olmalarıdır. Semud milletine gözle görülebilen bir mucize, bir dişi deve vermiştik de ona zulmetmişlerdi. Oysa Biz mucizeleri yalnız korkutmak için göndeririz.

Diyanet İşleriall-rights-reserved

Bizi, âyetler (mucizeler) ve peygamber göndermekten alıkoyan şey, ancak öncekilerin onları yalanlamış olmalarıdır. Semûd'a, açık bir mucize olarak o dişi deveyi vermiştik de ona zulmetmişlerdi (deveyi boğazlayarak kendilerine yazık etmişlerdi). Oysa biz, o mucizeleri ancak korkutmak için göndeririz.

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain

Bizi, ayetler (mucizeler) göndermekten alıkoyan tek şey, öncekilerin onları yalanlamış olmasıdır. (Nitekim) Semûd kavmine de (mucize olarak) aydınlatıcı, (ders verici) bir dişi deve vermiştik de onlar (vahşice katlettikleri için) ona haksızlık etmişlerdi. (Oysa) biz ayetleri (mucizeleri) ancak (inkârcıları) korkutmak için göndeririz.

AR

وما منعَنا من إنزال المعجزات التي سألها المشركون إلا تكذيب مَن سبقهم من الأمم، فقد أجابهم الله إلى ما طلبوا فكذَّبوا وهلكوا. وأعطينا ثمود -وهم قوم صالح- معجزة واضحة وهي الناقة، فكفروا بها فأهلكناهم. وما إرسالنا الرسل بالآيات والعبر والمعجزات التي جعلناها على أيديهم إلا تخويف للعباد؛ ليعتبروا ويتذكروا.
