English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

16:34

هَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن تَأْتِيَهُمُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ أَوْ يَأْتِىَ أَمْرُ رَبِّكَ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ فَعَلَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ وَمَا ظَلَمَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَلَٰكِن كَانُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

What do they wait for except that the angels should come upon them or that the decree of thy Lord should come to pass? So did those who were before them. Allah did not wrong them, but they used to wrong themselves.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

کیا وہ اس کے سوا کوئی راہ دیکھ رہے ہیں کہ فرشتے ان کے پاس آئیں یا تیرے ربّ کا فیصلہ آپہنچے۔ اسی طرح ان لوگوں نے کیا تھا جو اُن سے پہلے تھے۔ اور اللہ نے ان پر ظلم نہیں کیا بلکہ وہ خود اپنے نفسوں پر ظلم کیا کرتے تھے۔

French

Qu’attendent-ils si ce n’est que les anges descendent sur eux, ou que survienne le décret de ton Seigneur ? Ainsi firent leurs devanciers. Allāh ne leur a pas fait de tort, mais ils faisaient du tort à eux-mêmes.

German

Worauf warten sie denn, wenn nicht, dass die Engel zu ihnen kommen oder dass der Befehl deines Herrn eintrifft? So taten schon jene, die vor ihnen waren. Allah war nicht ungerecht gegen sie, jedoch sie waren ungerecht gegen sich selber.

Chinese

这些 (不信的) 人 [b]只等候天使降临他们, 或者你的养主的命令[675]下降 (他们)? 他们前代的人也是这样做的。[c]安拉没有亏待他们, 而他们却亏待了他们自己。

2:211; 6:159; 7:54.

9:70; 16:119; 29:41; 30:10.

“天使们降临” 意味着不信者的个人死亡, 而 “养主或他的命令下降”, 则意味着他们的民族的死亡。

Italian

Stanno aspettando che gli angeli scendano su di loro o che il decreto del tuo Signore si avveri? Così fecero coloro che vennero prima di loro. Allah non fece loro alcun torto, ma essi fecero torto a sé stessi.

Spanish

¿Esperan acaso otra cosa salvo que los ángeles vengan sobre ellos o que se alcance el designio de tu Señor? Lo mismo hicieron los que les precedieron. Al-lah no les ha perjudicado, sino que se perjudicaron a sí mismos.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

یہ (کافر لوگ) اس بات کے سوا کس کا انتظار کر رہے ہیں کہ فرشتے ان کے پاس (آسمانی عذاب لے کر) آئیں۔ یا تیرے رب کا (فیصلہ کن) حکم آجائے۔ اسی طرح ان لوگوں نے کیا تھا جو ان سے پہلے (زمانوں کے) تھے اور اللہ نے ان پر کوئی ظلم نہیں کیا تھا بلکہ وہ (خود ہی) اپنی جانوں پر ظلم کرتے تھے۔

English - Short Commentary Translation

[f]What do these disbelievers wait for except that the angels should come upon them or that the decree of thy Lord[1543] should come to pass? So did those who were before them. [a]Allah did not wrong them, but they used to wrong themselves.

9:70; 16:119; 29:41; 30:10.

2:211; 6:159; 7:54.

'The coming of angels' signifies the destruction of individual disbelievers, and 'the coming of God or of His decree' signifies their national ruin.

English - Five Volume Translation

[b]What do they wait for except that the angels should come upon them or that the decree of thy Lord should come to pass? So did those who were before them. [c]Allah did not wrong them, but they used to wrong themselves.[1835]

2:211; 6:159; 7:54.

9:70; 16:119; 29:41; 30:10.

Commentary:

The expressions, "the coming of angels" and "the coming of God", when used with reference to disbelievers, always denote the coming of Divine punishment. By "the coming of angels" is meant the destruction of individual disbelievers, and by "the coming of God" their national ruin. The expression, the decree of thy Lord should come to pass, refers to the latter kind of punishment. See also 2:211.

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

اے محمدؐ، اب جو یہ لوگ انتظار کر رہے ہیں تو اِس کے سوا اب اور کیا باقی رہ گیا ہے کہ ملائکہ ہی آ پہنچیں، یا تیرے رب کا فیصلہ صادر ہو جائے؟ اِس طرح کی ڈھٹائی اِن سے پہلے بہت سے لوگ کر چکے ہیں پھر جو کچھ اُن کے ساتھ ہوا وہ اُن پر اللہ کا ظلم نہ تھا بلکہ اُن کا اپنا ظلم تھا جو اُنہوں نے خود اپنے اوپر کیا

English - Sahih

Do the disbelievers await [anything] except that the angels should come to them or there comes the command of your Lord? Thus did those do before them. And Allah wronged them not, but they had been wronging themselves.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

کیا اب اس کے منتظر ہیں کہ ان پر فرشتے آویں یا تیرے رب کا حکم آئے اسی طرح ان سے پہلوں نے بھی کیا تھا اور الله نے ان پر ظلم نہیں کیا اور لیکن وہ اپنے نفسوں پر ظلم کرتے تھے

English - Talal Itani

Do they wait except that (should) come to them the Angels or (should) come (the) Command (of) your Lord? Thus did those who (were) before them. And not wronged them Allah but they were themselves wronging.

اردہ تفصیرِ صغیر نوٹس ^*

English - Arberry

Do they look for aught but that the angels shall come to them, or thy Lord's command shall come? So did those before them, and God wronged them not, but themselves they wronged.

English - Maududi

(O Muhammad), are they waiting for anything else than that the angels should appear before them, or that your Lord's judgement should come? Many before them acted with similar temerity. And then what happened with them was not Allah's wrong-doing; they rather wronged themselves.

English - Ahmed Ali

What! Do the (unbelievers) expect that the angels should descend, or the sentence of your Lord come to pass? So had the people done before them; yet God did not wrong them, they wronged themselves.

English - Yusuf Ali

Do the (ungodly) wait until the angels come to them, or there comes the Command of thy Lord (for their doom)? So did those who went before them. But Allah wronged them not: nay, they wronged their own souls.
