Translation

EN

Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not.

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

Fighting is ordained for you, though you dislike it. You may dislike something although it is good for you, or like something although it is bad for you: God knows and you do not.’

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

Warfare is ordained for you, though it is hateful unto you; but it may happen that ye hate a thing which is good for you, and it may happen that ye love a thing which is bad for you. Allah knoweth, ye know not.

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

Battle has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you. But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allāh knows, while you know not.

Savaş, hoşunuza gitmediği halde size farz kılındı. İhtimal ki hoşlanmadığınız şey sizin iyiliğinizedir ve ihtimal ki sevdiğiniz bir şey sizin kötülüğünüzedir. Siz bilmezsiniz, Allah bilir.

Diyanet İşleriall-rights-reserved

Savaş size farz kılındı, gerçi o size hoş gelmez. Olabilir ki siz, bir şeyden hoşlanmazsınız; oysa ki o sizin için bir hayırdır. Yine olabilir ki, siz bir şeyi seversiniz, oysaki o sizin için bir kötülüktür. Allah bilir, siz bilmezsiniz.

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain

Sizin için hoş olmasa da (size saldıran kâfirlere karşı) savaş size farz kılındı. Sizin için daha hayırlı olduğu hâlde bir şeyi sevmemeniz mümkündür. Sizin için daha kötü olduğu hâlde bir şeyi sevmeniz de mümkündür. Allah bilir, siz bilmezsiniz.

فرض الله عليكم -أيها المؤمنون- قتال الكفار، والقتال مكروه لكم من جهة الطبع؛ لمشقته وكثرة مخاطره، وقد تكرهون شيئًا وهو في حقيقته خير لكم، وقد تحبون شيئًا لما فيه من الراحة أو اللذة العاجلة، وهو شر لكم. والله تعالى يعلم ما هو خير لكم، وأنتم لا تعلمون ذلك. فبادروا إلى الجهاد في سبيله.
