Translation

Or do ye say that Abraham, Isma'il Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes were Jews or Christians? Say: Do ye know better than Allah? Ah! who is more unjust than those who conceal the testimony they have from Allah? but Allah is not unmindful of what ye do!

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

Or are you saying that Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes were Jews or Christians?’ [Prophet], ask them, ‘Who knows better: you or God? Who could be more wicked than those who hide a testimony [they received] from God? God is not unmindful of what you do.’

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

Or say ye that Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes were Jews or Christians? Say: Do ye know best, or doth Allah? And who is more unjust than he who hideth a testimony which he hath received from Allah? Allah is not unaware of what ye do.

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

Or do you say that Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the Descendants were Jews or Christians? Say, "Are you more knowing or is Allāh?" And who is more unjust than one who conceals a testimony he has from Allāh? And Allāh is not unaware of what you do.

Yoksa İbrahim, İsmail, İshak, Yakub ve torunlarının Yahudi veya Hıristiyan olduklarını mı söylüyorsunuz? Peki, siz mi yoksa Allah mı daha iyi bilir? de. Allah tarafından kendisine bildirilen bir gerçeği gizleyenden daha zalim kim vardır? Allah yaptıklarınızdan gafil değildir.

"Yoksa siz, İbrahim de, İsmail de, İshak da, Yakup da ve torunları da hep yahudi ve hıristiyan idiler mi demek istiyorsunuz?" De ki: "Siz mi daha iyi bilirsiniz, yoksa Allah mı?" Allah'ın şahitlik ettiği bir hakikatı bile bile inkar edenden daha zâlim kim olabilir? Allah, yaptıklarınızdan gafil değildir.

Yoksa siz İbrahim, İsmail, İshak, Yakup ve (onların) torunlar(ın)ın yahudi veya hristiyan olduklarını mı söylüyorsunuz! De ki: “Siz mi daha iyi bilirsiniz, yoksa Allah mı?” Allah tarafından kendisine (bildirilmiş) bir şahitliği gizleyenden daha zalim kim olabilir ki! Allah yaptıklarınızdan asla habersiz değildir.

بل أتقولون مجادلين في الله: إن إبراهيم وإسماعيل وإسحاق ويعقوب والأسباط- وهم الأنبياء الذين كانوا في قبائل بني إسرائيل الاثنتي عشرة من ولد يعقوب- كانوا على دين اليهود أو النصارى؟ وهذا كذب؛ فقد بُعِثوا وماتوا قبل نزول التوراة والإنجيل. قل لهم -أيها الرسول-: أأنتم أعلم بدينهم أم الله تعالى؟ وقد أخبر في القرآن بأنهم كانوا حنفاء مسلمين، ولا أحد أظلم منكم حين تخفون شهادة ثابتة عندكم من الله تعالى، وتدَّعون خلافها افتراء على الله. وما الله بغافل عن شيء من أعمالكم، بل هو مُحْصٍ لها ومجازيكم عليها.
