Translation

EN

But (there is one) who says to his parents, "Fie on you! Do ye hold out the promise to me that I shall be raised up, even though generations have passed before me (without rising again)?" And they two seek Allah's aid, (and rebuke the son): "Woe to thee! Have faith! for the promise of Allah is true." But he says, "This is nothing but tales of the ancients!"

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

But some say to their parents, ‘What? Are you really warning me that I shall be raised alive from my grave, when so many generations have already passed and gone before me?’ His parents implore God for help; they say, ‘Alas for you! Believe! God’s promise is true,’ but still he replies, ‘These are nothing but ancient fables.’

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

And whoso saith unto his parents: Fie upon you both! Do ye threaten me that I shall be brought forth (again) when generations before me have passed away? And they twain cry unto Allah for help (and say): Woe unto thee! Believe! Lo! the promise of Allah is true. But he saith: This is naught save fables of the men of old:

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

But one who says to his parents, "Uff to you; do you promise me that I will be brought forth [from the earth] when generations before me have already passed on [into oblivion]?" while they call to Allāh for help [and to their son], "Woe to you! Believe! Indeed, the promise of Allāh is truth." But he says, "This is not but legends of the former peoples" -

Annesine babasına: "Of ikinizden; benden önce nice nesiller gelip geçmişken beni tekrar diriltilmemle mi tehdit ediyorsunuz?" diyen kimseye, anne babası Allah'a sığınarak: "Sana yazıklar olsun! İnan; doğrusu Allah'ın sözü gerçektir" dedikleri halde: "Bu, Kuran öncekilerin masallarından başka bir şey değildir" diye cevap verenler işte onlar kendilerinden önce cinlerden ve insanlardan gelip geçmiş ümmetler içinde, Allah'ın azap vadinin aleyhlerinde gerçekleştiği kimselerdir. Doğrusu onlar hüsranda olanlardır.

Ana ve babasına: "Öf size! siz bana öldükten sonra tekrar dirilip kabrimden çıkarılacağımı mı vaad ediyorsunuz? Oysa benden önce nice nesiller gelip geçmiştir." diyen kimseye ana ve babası Allah'a sığınarak "Yazıklar olsun sana! Gel iman et, şüphesiz ki, Allah'ın vaadi gerçektir." dediklerinde o: "Bu Kur'ân öncekilerin masallarından başka bir şey değildir" diyordu.

والذي قال لوالديه إذ دعواه إلى الإيمان بالله والإقرار بالبعث: قبحًا لكما أتعِدانني أن أُخْرج من قبري حيًا، وقد مضت القرون من الأمم من قبلي، فهلكوا فلم يُبعث منهم أحد؟ ووالداه يسألان الله هدايته قائلَين له: ويلك، آمن وصدِّق واعمل صالحًا، إن وعد الله بالبعث حق لا شك فيه، فيقول لهما: ما هذا الذي تقولانه إلا ما سطَّره الأولون من الأباطيل، منقول من كتبهم.
