English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

7:174

أَوْ تَقُولُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَآ أَشْرَكَ ءَابَآؤُنَا مِن قَبْلُ وَكُنَّا ذُرِّيَّةً مِّنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ ۖ أَفَتُهْلِكُنَا بِمَا فَعَلَ ٱلْمُبْطِلُونَ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

Or lest you should say, ‘It was only our fathers who attributed copartners to God in the past and we were merely a generation after them. Wilt Thou then destroy us for what was done by those who lied?’

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

یا تم کہہ دو کہ شرک تو پہلے ہمارے آباءو اجداد ہی نے کیا تھا اور ہم تو ان کے بعد آنے والی نسل ہیں۔ تو کیا جھوٹے لوگوں نے جو کیا اُس کے سبب سے تُو ہمیں ہلاک کر دے گا؟

French

Ou que vous ne disiez : « Jadis nos pères n’étaient que des associateurs, et nous n’étions qu’une génération après eux. Vas-Tu donc nous anéantir pour ce qu’ont fait ceux qui ont menti ? »

German

Oder sprächet: "Es waren bloß unsere Väter, die vordem Götzendiener waren, wir aber waren ein Geschlecht nach ihnen. Willst Du uns denn vernichten um dessentwillen, was die Verlogenen taten?"

Chinese

或者说: “(在我们时代以前) [a]只有我们的祖先崇拜了多神, 我们是他们 (微弱) 的后裔, 难道你要因为那些虚假者的行为消灭我们吗?”

7:39.

Italian

O perché non diciate: «Erano soltanto i nostri padri che attribuivano compagni a Dio nel passato e noi eravamo soltanto la generazione dopo di loro. Ci distruggerai Tu dunque per quanto fu fatto da coloro che mentivano?»

Spanish

O no sea que digáis: “sólo nuestros padres fueron los que atribuyeron copartícipes a Dios en el pasado, y nosotros fuimos simplemente su descendencia. ¿Nos vas a destruir por lo que hicieron los mentirosos?”.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

یا یہ کہدو کہ (ہمارے زمانہ سے) پہلے صرف ہمارے باپ دادوں نے شرک کیا تھا۔ اور ہم ان کے بعد ایک کمزور نسل تھے کیا تو ہم کو ان لوگوں کے فعل کے بدلہ میں ہلاک کرے گا جو جھوٹے تھے۔

7:39.

English - Five Volume Translation

Commentary:

The appearance of a Prophet also debars the people of his time from urging the plea mentioned in the present verse, for then the truth is made manifest from falsehood and idolatry stands publicly condemned.

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

یا یہ نہ کہنے لگو کہ "شرک کی ابتدا تو ہمارے باپ دادا نے ہم سے پہلے کی تھی اور ہم بعد کو ان کی نسل سے پیدا ہوئے، پھر کیا آپ ہمیں اُس قصور میں پکڑتے ہیں جو غلط کار لوگوں نے کیا تھا"

English - Sahih

Or [lest] you say, "It was only that our fathers associated [others in worship] with Allah before, and we were but descendants after them. Then would You destroy us for what the falsifiers have done?"

یا کہنے لگو ہمارے باپ دادا نے ہم سے پہلے شرک کیاتھا اور ہم ان کے بعد ان کی اولاد تھے کیاتو ہمیں اس کام پر ہلاک کرتا ہے جو گمراہوں نے کیا

English - Talal Itani

Or you say, "Only partners (were) associated (with Allah) (by) our forefathers from before (us) and we are descendants from after them. So will You destroy us for what did the falsifiers?"
