2:144
قَدْ نَرَىٰ تَقَلُّبَ وَجْهِكَ فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ ۖ فَلَنُوَلِّيَنَّكَ قِبْلَةً تَرْضَىٰهَا ۚ فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ ٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ ۚ وَحَيْثُ مَا كُنتُمْ فَوَلُّوا۟ وُجُوهَكُمْ شَطْرَهُۥ ۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ لَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّهُ ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّهِمْ ۗ وَمَا ٱللَّهُ بِغَـٰفِلٍ عَمَّا يَعْمَلُونَ

Translation
We see the turning of thy face (for guidance to the heavens: now Shall We turn thee to a Qibla that shall please thee. Turn then Thy face in the direction of the sacred Mosque: Wherever ye are, turn your faces in that direction. The people of the Book know well that that is the truth from their Lord. Nor is Allah unmindful of what they do.
A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain
Many a time We have seen you [Prophet] turn your face towards Heaven, so We are turning you towards a prayer direction that pleases you. Turn your face in the direction of the Sacred Mosque: wherever you [believers] may be, turn your faces to it. Those who were given the Scripture know with certainty that this is the Truth from their Lord: God is not unaware of what they do.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleemall-rights-reserved
We have seen the turning of thy face to heaven (for guidance, O Muhammad). And now verily We shall make thee turn (in prayer) toward a qiblah which is dear to thee. So turn thy face toward the Inviolable Place of Worship, and ye (O Muslims), wheresoever ye may be, turn your faces (when ye pray) toward it. Lo! Those who have received the Scripture know that (this revelation) is the Truth from their Lord. And Allah is not unaware of what they do.

We have certainly seen the turning of your face, [O Muḥammad], toward the heaven, and We will surely turn you to a qiblah with which you will be pleased. So turn your face [i.e., yourself] toward al-Masjid al-Ḥarām. And wherever you [believers] are, turn your faces [i.e., yourselves] toward it [in prayer]. Indeed, those who have been given the Scripture [i.e., the Jews and the Christians] well know that it is the truth from their Lord. And Allāh is not unaware of what they do.

Yüzünü göğe çevirip durduğunu görüyoruz. Hoşnud olacağın kıbleye seni elbette çevireceğiz. Artık yüzünü Mescid-i Haram semtine çevir; bulunduğunuz yerde yüzlerinizi o yöne çevirin. Doğrusu Kitap verilenler, bunun Rab'lerinden bir gerçek olduğunu bilirler. Allah onların yaptıklarından gafil değildir.

Doğrusu, biz, yüzünün semaya yöneldiğini, orada şekilden şekile geçerek, aranıp durduğunu görüyorduk. Artık seni hoşnud olacağın bir kıbleye çevireceğiz. Haydi bakalım, yüzünü Mescidi Haram'a doğru çevir. Siz de ey müminler, nerede olursanız olun, yüzünüzü o tarafa doğru çevirin! Kendilerine kitap verilmiş olanlar da kesinlikle bilirler ki, Rabblerinden gelen o emir haktır. Ve Allah, onların yaptıklarından ve yapmakta olduklarından gafil değildir.
Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain
Yüzünü göğe çevirişini (haber beklediğini) elbette görüyoruz. Elbette seni memnun olacağın bir kıbleye döndürüyoruz. Yüzünü Mescid-i Haram tarafına çevir! Siz de nerede olursanız olun, (namazda) yüzlerinizi onun tarafına çevirin! Şüphesiz ki kendilerine kitap verilmiş olanlar, onun Rablerinden (gelen) gerçek olduğunu bilirler. Allah onların yaptıklarından habersiz değildir.

قد نرى تحوُّل وجهك -أيها الرسول- في جهة السماء، مرة بعد مرة؛ انتظارًا لنزول الوحي إليك في شأن القبلة، فلنصرفنك عن "بيت المقدس" إلى قبلة تحبها وترضاها، وهي وجهة المسجد الحرام بـ "مكة"، فولِّ وجهك إليها. وفي أي مكان كنتم -أيها المسلمون- وأردتم الصلاة فتوجهوا نحو المسجد الحرام. وإن الذين أعطاهم الله علم الكتاب من اليهود والنصارى لَيعلمون أن تحويلك إلى الكعبة هو الحق الثابت في كتبهم. وما الله بغافل عما يعمل هؤلاء المعترضون المشككون، وسيجازيهم على ذلك.
