Translation

EN

How many of the prophets fought (in Allah's way), and with them (fought) Large bands of godly men? but they never lost heart if they met with disaster in Allah's way, nor did they weaken (in will) nor give in. And Allah Loves those who are firm and steadfast.

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

Many prophets have fought, with large bands of godly men alongside them who, in the face of their sufferings for God’s cause, did not lose heart or weaken or surrender: God loves those who are steadfast.

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

And with how many a prophet have there been a number of devoted men who fought (beside him). They quailed not for aught that befell them in the way of Allah, nor did they weaken, nor were they brought low. Allah loveth the steadfast.

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

And how many a prophet [fought in battle and] with him fought many religious scholars. But they never lost assurance due to what afflicted them in the cause of Allāh, nor did they weaken or submit. And Allāh loves the steadfast.

Nice peygamberler vardı ki beraber(ler)inde kendilerini Rablerine adayanlar bulunduğu hâlde savaşmışlardı. Bunlar, Allah yolunda başlarına gelenlerden dolayı gevşeklik göstermemiş, zayıf (aciz) davranmamış ve (düşmanlarına karşı) boyun da eğmemişlerdi. Allah (işte böyle) sabredenleri sever.

كثير من الأنبياء السابقين قاتل معهم جموع كثيرة من أصحابهم، فما ضعفوا لِمَا نزل بهم من جروح أو قتل؛ لأن ذلك في سبيل ربهم، وما عَجَزوا، ولا خضعوا لعدوهم، إنما صبروا على ما أصابهم. والله يحب الصابرين.
