Translation

EN

Then fight in Allah's cause - Thou art held responsible only for thyself - and rouse the believers. It may be that Allah will restrain the fury of the Unbelievers; for Allah is the strongest in might and in punishment.

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

So [Prophet] fight in God’s way. You are accountable only for yourself. Urge the believers on. God may well curb the power of the disbelievers, for He is stronger in might and more terrible in punishment.

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

So fight (O Muhammad) in the way of Allah Thou art not taxed (with the responsibility for anyone) except thyself - and urge on the believers. Peradventure Allah will restrain the might of those who disbelieve. Allah is stronger in might and stronger in inflicting punishment.

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

So fight, [O Muḥammad], in the cause of Allāh; you are not held responsible except for yourself. And encourage the believers [to join you] that perhaps Allāh will restrain the [military] might of those who disbelieve. And Allāh is greater in might and stronger in [exemplary] punishment.

Allah yolunda savaş; sen ancak kendinden sorumlusun, inananları teşvik et; umulur ki Allah, inkar edenlerin baskınını önler. Allah'ın kahrı da, ibret alınacak cezası da pek şiddetlidir.

Diyanet İşleriall-rights-reserved

(Ey Muhammed) Allah yolunda savaş! Sen ancak kendi yaptığından sorumlusun. Müminleri de savaşa teşvik et. Umulur ki, Allah kâfirlerin gücünü kırar. Hiç şüphesiz ki Allah kuvvet ve kudretçe çok daha güçlü, ve cezası daha çetindir.

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain

Allah yolunda savaş! Sen (öncelikle) sadece kendinden sorumlusun. Müminleri de (savaşa) teşvik et! Allah kâfir olanların gücünü elbette kıracaktır. Allah’ın gücü (azabı) daha ağırdır ve cezası daha şiddetlidir.

فجاهد -أيها النبي- في سبيل الله لإعلاء كلمته، لا تلزم فعل غيرك ولا تؤاخذ به، وحُضَّ المؤمنين على القتال والجهاد، ورغِّبهم فيه، لعل الله يمنع بك وبهم بأس الكافرين وشدتهم. والله تعالى أشد قوة وأعظم عقوبة للكافرين.
