Translation

They think that the Confederates have not withdrawn; and if the Confederates should come (again), they would wish they were in the deserts (wandering) among the Bedouins, and seeking news about you (from a safe distance); and if they were in your midst, they would fight but little.

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

They think the joint forces have not gone, and if the joint forces did come again they would wish they were in the desert, wandering among the Bedouin and seeking news about you [from a safe distance]. Even if they were with you [believers], they would hardly fight at all.

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

They hold that the clans have not retired (for good); and if the clans should advance (again), they would fain be in the desert with the wandering Arabs, asking for the news of you; and if they were among you, they would not give battle, save a little.

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

They think the companies have not [yet] withdrawn. And if the companies should come [again], they would wish they were in the desert among the bedouins, inquiring [from afar] about your news. And if they should be among you, they would not fight except for a little.

Saheeh Internationalall-rights-reserved

Bunlar, düşman birliklerinin gitmediklerini sanıyorlardı. Bu birlikler tekrar gelmiş olsalardı, kendileri çöllerde bedevilerin yanında bulunup, sadece sizin haberlerinizi sormayı dilerlerdi. Aranızda olsalar ancak pek az savaşırlardı.

Diyanet İşleriall-rights-reserved

Onlar ahzabı (düşman birliklerini) gitmedi sanıyorlardı. Eğer o birlikler bir daha gelecek olursa, çölde bedevi Araplar içinde yer alıp, sizin haberlerinizden (başınıza geleceklerden) sormayı isterler. Onlar içinizde kalacak olsalar da pek az harb ederler.

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain

(Münafıklar, düşman) birliklerinin gitmediğini sanıyorlardı. O birlikler (tekrar) gelse, sizin haberlerinizi (uzaktan) soracak şekilde göçebe Arapların arasında çölde olmak isterler. Zaten içinizde bulunsalardı bile pek savaşacak değillerdi.

Mehmet Okuyanall-rights-reserved

يظن المنافقون أن الأحزاب الذين هزمهم الله تعالى شر هزيمة لم يذهبوا؛ ذلك من شدة الخوف والجبن، ولو عاد الأحزاب إلى "المدينة" لتمنَّى أولئك المنافقون أنهم كانوا غائبين عن "المدينة" بين أعراب البادية، يستخبرون عن أخباركم ويسألون عن أنبائكم، ولو كانوا فيكم ما قاتلوا معكم إلا قليلا لكثرة جبنهم وذلتهم وضعف يقينهم.
