Azerice — V. Memmedeliyev ve Ziya Bünyadov

Məgər onlar (müşriklər) yer üzünü dolaşıb özlərindən əvvəlkilərin axırının necə olduğunu görmürlərmi? Onlar (sayca) bunlardan daha çox, daha qüvvətli, yer üzündə daha çox iz qoymuş kimsələr idi. Qazandıqları (dünya malı) onlara bir fayda vermədi (Allahın əzabını onlardan dəf edə bilmədi).

Almanca — Al-Azhar

Sind sie nicht im Lande herumgegangen, um zu sehen, zu welchem Ende die trotzigen Ungläubigen vor ihnen gekommen sind. Sie waren zahlreicher und mächtiger als sie und hatten dauerhaftere Spuren auf der Erde hinterlassen als sie hinterlassen können. Aber alles, was sie erworben hatten, konnte Gottes Strafe nicht abhalten.

Almanca — Der Edle Quran

Sind sie denn nicht auf der Erde umhergereist, so daß sie schauen (konnten), wie das Ende derjenigen war, die vor ihnen waren? Sie waren zahlreicher als sie und hatten mehr Kraft und Wirkung auf der Erde als sie. Aber nicht nützte ihnen, was sie zu erwerben pflegten.

Almanca — M. A. Rassoul

Abdel Khalek Himmat

Have they not journeyed through the land and looked with their minds' eyes to see the fatal consequence of those who preceded them, who were mightier by force of numbers and far mightier in power and their diligence never wearied!

Fransızca — Muhammad Hamidullah

Ne parcourent-ils donc pas la terre pour voir ce quʹil est advenu de ceux qui étaient avant eux? Ils étaient (pourtant) plus nombreux quʹeux et bien plus puissants et ils (avaient laissé) sur terre beaucoup plus de vestiges. Mais ce quʹils ont acquis ne leur a servi à rien.

Kürtçe Meal

Erê ma vêca ew li ser rûyê erdê nagerin, da ku bibînin aqîbeta wan miletên beriya wan çawa bûye? Digel ku ew bi hejmar ji wan pirtir bûn, ji aliyê hêz û şiyan ve dijwartir bûn û ji aliyê cih û war ve mikûm û asêtir bûn. Vêca ya ku wan bi dest xwe xistibû qet feyde neda wan.

Hollandaca — Fred Leemhuis

Hollandaca — Salomo Keyzer

Gaan zij niet over de aarde, en zien zij niet wat het einde was van hen, die vóór hen bestonden? Deze waren talrijker dan zij en machtiger in sterkte, en lieten aanzienlijker gedenkteekenen van hunne macht op aarde; maar wat zij verworven hadden was hun van geen voordeel.

Hollandaca — Siregar

Rusça — Ebu Adel

Разве они [неверующие мекканцы и другие] не странствовали по земле [разве они не были в Йемене и в Шаме] и (разве они) не видели, каков был конец тех (народов, которые не стали покорными Аллаху), которые были до них [что произошло с адитами, самудянами и другими]? Были они [адиты и самудяне] многочисленнее их [мекканцев] и мощнее их (телесной) силой и следами на земле [своими постройками]. (И наказал их Аллах за их неверие и злодеяния). Но не избавило [не спасло] их [погубленные народы] (от наказания Аллаха) то, что они приобретали [их сила, многочисленность и постройки]!

Rusça — Osmanov

Неужели они не странствовали по земле и не видели, каков был конец тех, кто жил до них? Они превосходили их (т. е. мекканских многобожников) числом и построенным на земле, были сильнее, могучее. Но [все это] не спасло их [от наказания Аллаха].
