Translation

"And I follow the ways of my fathers,- Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and never could we attribute any partners whatever to Allah: that (comes) of the grace of Allah to us and to mankind: yet most men are not grateful.

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

and I follow the faith of my forefathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Because of God’s grace to us and to all mankind, we would never worship anything beside God, but most people are ungrateful.

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

And I have followed the religion of my fathers, Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. It never was for us to attribute aught as partner to Allah. This is of the bounty of Allah unto us (the seed of Abraham) and unto mankind; but most men give not thanks.

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

And I have followed the religion of my fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And it was not for us to associate anything with Allāh. That is from the favor of Allāh upon us and upon the people, but most of the people are not grateful.

واتبعت دين آبائي إبراهيم وإسحاق ويعقوب فعبدت الله وحده، ما كان لنا أن نجعل لله شريكًا في عبادته، ذلك التوحيد بإفراد الله بالعبادة، مما تفضل الله به علينا وعلى الناس، ولكن أكثر الناس لا يشكرون الله على نعمة التوحيد والإيمان.
