Translation

EN

(Their allies deceived them), like the Evil One, when he says to man, "Deny Allah": but when (man) denies Allah, (the Evil One) says, "I am free of thee: I do fear Allah, the Lord of the Worlds!"

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

Like Satan, who says to man, ‘Do not believe!’ but when man disbelieves, says, ‘I disown you; I fear God, the Lord of the Worlds,’

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

(And the hypocrites are) on the likeness of the devil when he telleth man to disbelieve, then, when he disbelieveth saith: Lo! I am quit of thee. Lo! I fear Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

[The hypocrites are] like the example of Satan when he says to man, "Disbelieve." But when he disbelieves, he says, "Indeed, I am disassociated from you. Indeed, I fear Allāh, Lord of the worlds."

İkiyüzlülerin durumu insana: "İnkar et!" deyip, insan da inkar edince: "Doğrusu ben senden uzağım; Alemlerin Rabbi olan Allah'tan korkarım" diyen şeytanın durumu gibidir.

Diyanet İşleriall-rights-reserved

(Yahudileri kandıran münafıkların durumu da) tıpkı şeytanın durumuna benzer ki insana "İnkâr et." dedi, (insan) inkar edince de: "Ben senden uzağım, ben âlemlerin Rabb'i Allah'tan korkarım!" dedi.

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain

(Münafıkların durumu) tıpkı şeytan(ın durumu) gibidir. Hani şeytan, insana “İnkâr et!” der. (İnsan) inkâr edince de “Şüphesiz ki ben senden uzağım; şüphesiz ki ben âlemlerin Rabbi olan Allah’tan korkarım!” der.

ومثل هؤلاء المنافقين في إغراء اليهود على القتال ووَعْدهم بالنصر على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، كمثل الشيطان حين زيَّن للإنسان الكفر ودعاه إليه، فلما كفر قال: إني بريء منك، إني أخاف الله رب الخلق أجمعين.
