Translation

EN

If We had ordered them to sacrifice their lives or to leave their homes, very few of them would have done it: But if they had done what they were (actually) told, it would have been best for them, and would have gone farthest to strengthen their (faith);

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

if We had ordered, ‘Lay down your lives’ or ‘Leave your homes,’ they would not have done so, except for a few- it would have been far better for them and stronger confirmation of their faith, if they had done as they were told,

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

And if We had decreed for them: Lay down your lives or go forth from your dwellings, but few of them would have done it; though if they did what they are exhorted to do it would be better for them, and more strengthening;

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

And if We had decreed upon them, "Kill yourselves" or "Leave your homes," they would not have done it, except for a few of them. But if they had done what they were instructed, it would have been better for them and a firmer position [for them in faith].

Şayet onlara "Kendinizi öldürün" yahut "Memleketinizden çıkın" diye emretmiş olsaydık, pek azından başkaları bunu yapmazlardı. Kendilerine verilen öğüdü yerine getirmiş olsalardı onlar için daha iyi ve daha sağlam olurdu.

Eğer biz onlara: "Kendinizi öldürün, veya yurtlarınızdan çıkın." diye yazmış olsaydık, içlerinden pek azı hariç, bunu yapamazlardı. Fakat kendilerine verilen öğütleri tutsalardı, elbette haklarında hem daha hayırlı, hem de daha sağlam olurdu.

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain

Onlara “Kendinizi öldürün (canınızı fedâ edin) veya yurtlarınızdan çıkın.” diye emretmiş olsaydık, içlerinden azı hariç bunu yapmazlardı. Kendilerine verilen öğüdü yerine getirselerdi, (bu durum) onlar için hem hayırlı hem de (imanlarını) daha pekiştirici olurdu.

ولو أوجبنا على هؤلاء المنافقين المتحاكمين إلى الطاغوت أن يقتل بعضهم بعضًا، أو أن يخرجوا من ديارهم، ما استجاب لذلك إلا عدد قليل منهم، ولو أنهم استجابوا لما يُنصحون به لكان ذلك نافعًا لهم، وأقوى لإيمانهم، ولأعطيناهم من عندنا ثوابًا عظيمًا في الدنيا والآخرة، ولأرشدناهم ووفقناهم إلى طريق الله القويم.
