Translation

What! When a single disaster smites you, although ye smote (your enemies) with one twice as great, do ye say?- "Whence is this?" Say (to them): "It is from yourselves: For Allah hath power over all things."

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

Why do you [believers] say, when a calamity befalls you, even after you have inflicted twice as much damage [on your enemy], ‘How did this happen?’? [Prophet], say, ‘You brought it upon yourselves.’ God has power over everything:

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

And was it so, when a disaster smote you, though ye had smitten (them with a disaster) twice (as great), that ye said: How is this? Say (unto them, O Muhammad): It is from yourselves. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

Why [is it that] when a [single] disaster struck you [on the day of Uḥud], although you had struck [the enemy in the battle of Badr] with one twice as great, you said, "From where is this?" Say, "It is from yourselves [i.e., due to your sin]." Indeed, Allāh is over all things competent.

(Bedir'de düşmanı) iki katına uğrattığınız bir musibet (Uhud'da) size çarpınca mı: "Bu nereden" dediniz? De ki: "Bu başınıza gelen kendinizdendir". Şüphesiz Allah her şeye kâdirdir.

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain

(Bedir’de düşmanınızın) başına iki katını getirdiğiniz bir musibet, (Uhud’da) kendi başınıza geldiği için mi “Bu nasıl oluyor?” demiştiniz. De ki: “O kendi (kusuru)nuzdandır. Şüphesiz ki Allah her şeye gücü yetendir.”

أولما أصابتكم -أيها المؤمنون- مصيبة، وهي ما أُصيب منكم يوم "أُحد" قد أصبتم مثليها من المشركين في يوم "بدْر"، قلتم متعجبين: كيف يكون هذا ونحن مسلمون ورسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فينا وهؤلاء مشركون؟ قل لهم -أيها النبي-: هذا الذي أصابكم هو من عند أنفسكم بسبب مخالفتكم أمْرَ رسولكم وإقبالكم على جمع الغنائم. إن الله يفعل ما يشاء ويحكم ما يريد، لا معقِّب ‌‌‌‌لحكمه.
