English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

8:72

وَإِن يُرِيدُوا۟ خِيَانَتَكَ فَقَدْ خَانُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ مِن قَبْلُ فَأَمْكَنَ مِنْهُمْ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

And if they intend to deal treacherously with thee, they have already dealt treacherously with Allah before, but He gave thee power over them. And Allah is All-Knowing, Wise.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور اگر وہ تجھ سے خیانت کا ارادہ کریں تو وہ پہلے اللہ سے بھی خیانت کرچکے ہیں پس اس نے ان کو بے بس کر دیا اور اللہ دائمی علم رکھنے والا (اور) بہت حکمت والا ہے۔

French

Et s’ils projettent de trahir ta confiance, ils ont déjà trahi la confiance d’Allāh avant ceci. Il les rendit donc impuissants. Et Allāh est Omniscient, Sage.

German

Wenn sie aber Verrat an dir üben wollen*, so haben sie schon zuvor an Allah Verrat geübt. Er aber gab (dir) Macht über sie; und Allah ist allwissend, allweise.

Chinese

假如他们打算不忠於你, 那么, 他们在这以前就曾不忠于安拉, 可是他 (安拉) 使你们制服了他们。安拉是全知的, 明哲的。

Italian

Se però essi vogliono tradire la tua fiducia, in verità in passato hanno già tradito la fiducia di Allah, ma Egli li ha resi impotenti. E Allah è l'Onnisciente, il Saggio.

Spanish

Y si intentan traicionar tu confianza, ya traicionaron antes la confianza de Al-lah, pero Él les dejó indefensos. Pues Al-lah es Omnisciente, Sabio.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور اگر وہ (آزاد ہونے پر) تجھ سے خیانت کرنے کا ارادہ کریں تو اس سے پہلے وہ اللہ سے بھی خیانت کر چکے ہیں پھر بھی اس نے ان کو تمہارے قبضہ میں دے دیا اور اللہ بہت جاننے والا (اور) بڑی حکمت والا ہے۔

English - Short Commentary Translation

And if they intend to deal treacherously with thee, they have indeed been treacherous to Allah before, but He gave thee power over them. And Allah is All-Knowing, Wise.

English - Five Volume Translation

And if they intend to deal treacherously with thee, they have already dealt treacherously with Allah before, but He gave thee power over them. And Allah is All-Knowing, Wise.[1159]

Commentary:

The treacherous dealing mentioned here is that disbelievers should do evil in return for the kindness shown to them. As was the custom in Arabia, pre-Islamic Arabs used to slay their powerful enemies, whenever they fell into their hands. The verse, therefore, signifies that if the enemies of Islam proved treacherous, God would give Muslims power over them again; so it is not necessary for Muslims to put their prisoners to death as pre-Islamic Arabs used to do.

God knew that the time was soon coming when the disbelievers would embrace Islam, hence the injunction to spare their lives and to treat them with kindness, for was not God "All-Knowing, Wise"?

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

لیکن اگر وہ تیرے ساتھ خیانت کا ارادہ رکھتے ہیں تو اس سے پہلے وہ اللہ کے ساتھ خیانت کر چکے ہیں، چنانچہ اسی کی سزا اللہ نے انہیں دی کہ وہ تیرے قابو میں آ گئے، اللہ سب کچھ جانتا اور حکیم ہے

English - Sahih

But if they intend to betray you - then they have already betrayed Allah before, and He empowered [you] over them. And Allah is Knowing and Wise.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

اور اگر یہ لوگ تم سے دغا کرنا چاہیں گےیہ تو پہلے ہی الله سے دغا کر چکے ہیں پھر الله نے انہیں گرفتار کرا دیا اور الله جاننے والا حکمت والا ہے

English - Talal Itani

But if they intend (to) betray you certainly they have betrayed Allah from before. So He gave (you) power over them. And Allah (is) All-Knower, All-Wise.

And if they desire treachery against thee, they have tricked God before; but He has given thee power over them; and God is All-knowing, All-wise.
