فَقَالَ ٱلْمَلَؤُا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن قَوْمِهِۦ مَا هَٰذَآ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ يُرِيدُ أَن يَتَفَضَّلَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَلَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَأَنزَلَ مَلَٰٓئِكَةً مَّا سَمِعْنَا بِهَٰذَا فِىٓ ءَابَآئِنَا ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
And the chiefs of his people, who disbelieved, said, ‘He is only a man like yourselves; he seeks to make himself superior to you. And if Allah had so willed, He could have surely sent down angels with him. We have never heard of such a thing among our forefathers.
اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ
پس ان سرداروں نے جنہوں نے اس کی قوم میں سے کفر کیا، کہا یہ تو تمہاری طرح کے ایک بشر کے سوا کچھ نہیں۔ یہ چاہتا ہے کہ تم پر اپنی فضیلت قائم کرے۔ اور اگر اللہ چاہتا تو فرشتے اتار دیتا۔ ہم نے تو اپنے گزشتہ آباءو اجداد کے تعلق میں ایسا نہیں سنا۔
French
Et les chefs de son peuple, qui avaient refusé de croire, dirent : « Il n’est qu’un homme comme vous ; il voudrait se rendre supérieur à vous. Et si Allāh l’avait voulu, Il aurait assurément pu faire descendre des anges. Nous n’avons jamais entendu une telle chose parmi nos aïeux.
German
Aber die Häupter seines Volks, die ungläubig waren, sprachen: "Er ist nur ein Mensch wie ihr; er möchte sich bloß über euch erheben. Hätte Allah gewollt, Er hätte doch gewiss Engel hinabsenden können. Wir haben nie von solchem unter unseren Vorvätern gehört.

E i capi del suo popolo, che non credevano, dissero: «Costui è soltanto un uomo come voi; egli cerca di rendersi superiore a voi. Ma se Allah avesse voluto così, di certo Egli avrebbe potuto far scendere angeli con lui. Non abbiamo mai sentito una cosa simile tra i nostri antenati.
Spanish
Mas los jefes de su pueblo que no creían, dijeron: “No es más que un hombre como vosotros; intenta hacerse superior a vosotros. Y si Al-lah lo hubiese querido, en verdad habría enviado ángeles. Nunca oímos tal cosa entre nuestros antepasados”;
اردو تفسیرِ صغیر
اس پر اس کی قوم کے کافروں کے سرداروں نے کہا یہ شخص تو فقط تمہارے جیسا ایک انسان ہے (اور) چاہتا ہے کہ تم پر فضیلت اختیار کرے اگر اللہ (پیغمبر بھیجنا) چاہتا تو فرشتوں کو اتارتا۔ ہم نے اپنے پہلے باپ دادوں میں تو کوئی اس قسم کا واقعہ ہوتا سنا نہیں۔

[d]And the chiefs of his people, who disbelieved, said, ‘He is only a mortal like yourselves;[1992] he seeks to gain superiority over you. And if Allah had so willed, [a]He could have, surely, sent down angels with him. We have never heard of such a thing among our forefathers;
17:96.
7:61; 11:28; 17:95, 34:44.
The disbelievers suffer from a superiority complex and therefore reject Divine Messengers on the plea that they cannot accept the lead of one who is 'only a mortal like themselves.' The verse incidentally implies that belief in the existence of angels was entertained from time immemorial. As far back as Noah’s time his opponents wanted to see angels descending on them.

اس کی قوم کے جن سرداروں نے ماننے سے انکار کیا وہ کہنے لگے کہ "یہ شخص کچھ نہیں ہے مگر ایک بشر تم ہی جیسا اِس کی غرض یہ ہے کہ تم پر برتری حاصل کرے اللہ کو اگر بھیجنا ہوتا تو فرشتے بھیجتا یہ بات تو ہم نے کبھی اپنے باپ دادا کے وقتوں میں سنی ہی نہیں (کہ بشر رسول بن کر آئے)

سواس کی قوم کے کافر سرداروں نے کہا کہ یہ بس تم ہی جیسا آدمی ہے تم پر بڑائی حاصل کرنا چاہتا ہے اور اگر الله چاہتا تو فرشتے بھیج دیتا ہم نے اپنے پہلے باب دادا سے یہ بات کبھی نہیں سنی
