Yusuf Ali
The worshippers of false gods say: "If Allah had so willed, we should not have worshipped aught but Him - neither we nor our fathers,- nor should we have prescribed prohibitions other than His." So did those who went before them. But what is the mission of messengers but to preach the Clear Message?

Sahih International
And those who associate others with Allah say, "If Allah had willed, we would not have worshipped anything other than Him, neither we nor our fathers, nor would we have forbidden anything through other than Him." Thus did those do before them. So is there upon the messengers except [the duty of] clear notification?

Shakir
And they who give associates (to Allah) say: If Allah had pleased, we would not have served anything besides Allah, (neither) we nor our fathers, nor would we have prohibited anything without (order from) Him. Thus did those before them; is then aught incumbent upon the messengers except a plain delivery (of the message)?

Pickthall
And the idolaters say: Had Allah willed, we had not worshipped aught beside Him, we and our fathers, nor had we forbidden aught without (command from) Him. Even so did those before them. Are the messengers charged with aught save plain conveyance (of the message)?

محمد جالندھری
اور مشرک کہتے ہیں کہ اگر خدا چاہتا تو نہ ہم ہی اس کے سوا کسی چیز کو پوجتے اور نہ ہمارے بڑے ہی (پوجتے) اور نہ اس کے (فرمان کے) بغیر ہم کسی چیز کو حرام ٹھہراتے۔ (اے پیغمبر) اسی طرح ان سے اگلے لوگوں نے کیا تھا۔ تو پیغمبروں کے ذمے (خدا کے احکام کو) کھول کر سنا دینے کے سوا اور کچھ نہیں
