Translation

EN

Not your desires, nor those of the People of the Book (can prevail): whoever works evil, will be requited accordingly. Nor will he find, besides Allah, any protector or helper.

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

It will not be according to your hopes or those of the People of the Book: anyone who does wrong will be requited for it and will find no one to protect or help him against God;

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

It will not be in accordance with your desires, nor the desires of the People of the Scripture. He who doeth wrong will have the recompense thereof, and will not find against Allah any protecting friend or helper.

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

It [i.e., Paradise] is not [obtained] by your wishful thinking nor by that of the People of the Scripture. Whoever does a wrong will be recompensed for it, and he will not find besides Allāh a protector or a helper.

Bu, sizin kuruntularınıza ve Kitap ehlinin kuruntularına göre değildir. Kim fenalık yaparsa cezasını görür, kendisine Allah'tan başka ne dost ve ne de yardımcı bulur.

Diyanet İşleriall-rights-reserved

(İş), ne sizin kuruntunuza, ne de kitap ehlinin kuruntusuna göredir. Kötülük yapan, o yüzden cezalandırılır. O, kendisine Allah'tan başka ne bir dost, ne de bir yardımcı bulabilir.

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain

(Cennete giriş) sizin kuruntularınızla da kitap ehlinin kuruntularıyla da değildir. Kim bir kötülük yaparsa ona (yaptığının) karşılığı verilecektir ve kendisi için Allah’tan başka dost da yardımcı da bulamayacaktır.

لا يُنال هذا الفضل العظيم بالأماني التي تتمنونها أيها المسلمون، ولا بأماني أهل الكتاب من اليهود والنصارى، وإنما يُنال بالإيمان الصادق بالله تعالى، وإحسان العمل الذي يرضيه. ومن يعمل عملا سيئًا يجز به، ولا يجد له سوى الله تعالى وليّاً يتولى أمره وشأنه، ولا نصيرًا ينصره، ويدفع عنه سوء العذاب.
