And when it is said to them, "Follow what Allāh has revealed," they say, "Rather, we will follow that upon which we found our fathers." Even if Satan was inviting them to the punishment of the Blaze?

"அல்லாஹ் இறக்கி வைத்த (வேதத்)தை நீங்கள் பின்பற்றுங்கள்" என அவர்களுக்குச் சொல்லப்பட்டால், அவர்கள் "(அப்படியல்ல)! நாங்கள் எங்களுடைய மூதாதையவர்களை எதில் கண்டோமோ, அதைத் தான் நாங்கள் பின்பற்றுவோம்" என்று கூறுகிறார்கள். அவர்களை ஷைத்தான் கொழுந்து விட்டெரியும் (நரக) நெருப்பின் வேதனையின் பக்கம் அழைத்தாலுமா (பின்பற்றுவர்?)

තවද අල්ලාහ් පහළ කළ දෑ නුඹලා අනුගමනය කරනුයි ඔවුනට කියනු ලැබූ කල්හි අපගේ පියවරු කවර දෙයක් මත සිටිනු අප දුටුවෙමු ද, එය අපි අනුගමනය කරන්නෙමු යැයි ඔවුහු පැවසූහ. ඇවිළෙන ගින්නේ දඬුවම වෙත ෂෙයිතාන් ඔවුන් ඇරයුම් කර සිටිය ද (ඔවුන් එසේ අනුගමනය කරනුයේ ද?)

اور جب ان سے کہا جاتا ہے کہ اللہ تعالیٰ کی اتاری ہوئی وحی کی تابعداری کرو تو کہتے ہیں کہ ہم نے تو جس طریق پر اپنے باپ دادوں کو پایا ہے اسی کی تابعداری کریں گے، اگرچہ شیطان ان کے بڑوں کو دوزخ کےعذاب کی طرف بلاتا ہو.

かれらに対し,「アッラーが下される啓示に従え。」と言うと,かれらは,「いや,わたしたちは,祖先たちの奉じたものに従う。」と言う。仮令悪魔が,かれらを炎の懲罰に招いてもよいのか。
ChineseMa Jian
如果有人对他们说:你们应当遵守真主所降示的(经典)。他们就说:不然,我们遵守我们祖先的遗教。即使恶魔叫他们去受烈火的刑罚,(他们仍要遵循)吗?
