Translation

Even so, in the eyes of most of the pagans, their "partners" made alluring the slaughter of their children, in order to lead them to their own destruction, and cause confusion in their religion. If Allah had willed, they would not have done so: But leave alone them and their inventions.

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

In the same way, their idols have induced many of the pagans to kill their own children, bringing them ruin and confusion in their faith: if God had willed otherwise they would not have done this, so [Prophet] leave them to their own devices.

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

Thus have their (so-called) partners (of Allah) made the killing of their children to seem fair unto many of the idolaters, that they may ruin them and make their faith obscure for them. Had Allah willed (it otherwise), they had not done so. So leave them alone with their devices.

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

And likewise, to many of the polytheists their partners have made [to seem] pleasing the killing of their children in order to bring about their destruction and to cover them with confusion in their religion. And if Allāh had willed, they would not have done so. So leave them and that which they invent.

Böylece, putlara hizmet edenler, puta tapanların çoğunu helake sürüklemek, dinlerini karma karışık etmek için çocuklarını öldürmelerini onlara iyi göstermişlerdir. Allah dileseydi bunu yapamazlardı. Sen onları ve iftiralarını bir tarafa bırak.

Yine ortakları, müşriklerden çoğuna evlatlarını öldürmeyi güzel gösterdi ki, hem kendilerini mahvetsinler, hem de dinlerini karıştırıp bozsunlar. Allah dileseydi bunu yapamazlardı. O halde onları, uydurduklarıyla baş başa bırak!

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain

Aynı şekilde, ortakları, müşriklerden çoğuna çocuklarını (kızlarını) öldürmeyi hoş gösterdi(ler) ki hem kendilerini mahvetsinler hem de dinlerini karıştırıp bozsunlar! Allah dileseydi bunu yapamazlardı. Onları uydurdukları ile bırak!

Mehmet Okuyanall-rights-reserved

وكما زيَّن الشيطان للمشركين أن يجعلوا لله تعالى من الحرث والأنعام نصيبًا، ولشركائهم نصيبًا، زيَّنت الشياطين لكثير من المشركين قَتْلَ أولادهم خشية الفقر؛ ليوقعوا هؤلاء الآباء في الهلاك بقتل النفس التي حرم الله قتلها إلا بالحق، وليخلطوا عليهم دينهم فيلتبس، فيضلوا ويهلكوا، ولو شاء الله ألا يفعلوا ذلك ما فعلوه، ولكنه قدَّر ذلك لعلمه بسوء حالهم ومآلهم، فاتركهم -أيها الرسول- وشأنهم فيما يفترون من كذب، فسيحكم الله بينك وبينهم.
