Translation

They will say: "Glory to Thee! not meet was it for us that we should take for protectors others besides Thee: But Thou didst bestow, on them and their fathers, good things (in life), until they forgot the Message: for they were a people (worthless and) lost."

A. Yusuf Ali · EN · public-domain

Onlar: "Sübhansın seni tenzih ederiz. Seni bırakıp da senden başka dostlar edinmek bize yaraşmaz; fakat sen onlara ve atalarına o kadar nimet verdin ki, sonunda seni anmayı unuttular ve helaki hak eden bir kavim oldular." derler.

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazır · TR · public-domain

Onlar (melekler) de şöyle demiş (olacaklar)dır: “Sen yücesin. Senin peşin sıra dostlar edinmek bize yakışmazdı. Fakat sen onlara ve atalarına bol nimet verince (Allah’ı) hatırlamayı unuttular ve helaki hak eden bir toplum oldular.”

Mehmet Okuyan · TR · all-rights-reserved

They will say: Be Thou Glorified! it was not for us to choose any protecting friends beside thee; but Thou didst give them and their fathers ease till they forgot the warning and became lost folk.
