He said, "O my people, have you considered: if I am upon clear evidence from my Lord and He has provided me with a good provision from Him...? And I do not intend to differ from you in that which I have forbidden you; I only intend reform as much as I am able. And my success is not but through Allah. Upon him I have relied, and to Him I return.

He said, ‘O my people! Have you considered, should I stand on a manifest proof from my Lord, who has provided me a good provision from Himself? I do not wish to oppose you by what I forbid you. I only desire to put things in order, as far as I can, and my success lies only with Allah: in Him I have put my trust, and to Him I turn penitently.

He said: O my people! Bethink you: if I am (acting) on a clear proof from my Lord and He sustaineth me with fair sustenance from Him (how can I concede aught to you)? I desire not to do behind your backs that which I ask you not to do. I desire naught save reform so far as I am able. My welfare is only in Allah. In Him I trust and unto Him I turn (repentant).

He said: "O my people! see ye whether I have a Clear (Sign) from my Lord, and He hath given me sustenance (pure and) good as from Himself? I wish not, in opposition to you, to do that which I forbid you to do. I only desire (your) betterment to the best of my power; and my success (in my task) can only come from Allah. In Him I trust, and unto Him I look.

He said, 'O my people, what think you? If I stand upon a clear sign from my Lord, and He has provided me with fair provision from Him -- and I desire not to come behind you, betaking me to that I forbid you; I desire only to set things right, so far as I am able. My succour is only with God; in Him I have put my trust, and to Him I turn, penitent.

گفت: ای قوم من! مرا خبر دهید اگر من بر دلیل روشنی از سوی پروردگارم متکی باشم و از جانب او رزق نیکویی به من داده باشد [آیا رواست که خلاف خواسته او عمل کنم؟] و من نمی خواهم آنچه که شما را از آن باز می دارم خود مرتکب شوم؛ تا جایی که قدرت دارم جز اصلاح [شما را] نمی خواهم؛ و توفیقم فقط به [یاری] خداست؛ بر او توکل کردم و به سوی او باز می گردم.

گفت: «ای قوم من، بیندیشید، اگر از جانب پروردگارم دلیل روشنی داشته باشم، و او از سوی خود روزی نیکویی به من داده باشد [آیا باز هم از پرستش او دست بردارم؟] من نمی‌خواهم در آنچه شما را از آن باز می‌دارم با شما مخالفت کنم [و خود مرتکب آن شوم‌]. من قصدی جز اصلاح [جامعه‌] تا آنجا که بتوانم، ندارم، و توفیق من جز به [یاری‌] خدا نیست. بر او توکّل کرده‌ام و به سوی او بازمی‌گردم.»

"Ey Milletim! Rabbimden benim bir belgem olduğu ve bana güzel bir rızık da verdiği halde, O'na karşı gelebilir miyim? Söylesenize! Size yasak ettiğim şeylerde, aykırı hareket etmek istemem; gücümün yettiği kadar ıslah etmekten başka bir dileğim yoktur. Başarım ancak Allah'tandır, O'na güvendim; O'na yöneliyorum" dedi.

Syu'aib berkata: "Hai kaumku, bagaimana pikiranmu jika aku mempunyai bukti yang nyata dari Tuhanku dan dianugerahi-Nya aku dari pada-Nya rezeki yang baik (patutkah aku menyalahi perintah-Nya)? Dan aku tidak berkehendak menyalahi kamu (dengan mengerjakan) apa yang aku larang. Aku tidak bermaksud kecuali (mendatangkan) perbaikan selama aku masih berkesanggupan. Dan tidak ada taufik bagiku melainkan dengan (pertolongan) Allah. Hanya kepada Allah aku bertawakkal dan hanya kepada-Nya-lah aku kembali.

شعیب نے کہا کہ اے قوم والو تمہارا کیا خیال ہے کہ اگر میں خدا کی طرف سے روشن دلیل رکھتا ہوں اور اس نے مجھے بہترین رزق عطا کردیا ہے اور میں یہ بھی نہیں چاہتا ہوں کہ جس چیز سے تم کو روکتا ہوں خود اسی کی خلاف ورزی کروں میں تو صرف اصلاح چاہتا ہوں جہاں تک میرے امکان میں ہو -میری توفیق صرف اللہ سے وابستہ ہے اسی پر میرا اعتماد ہے اور اسی کی طرف میں توجہ کررہا ہوں

শোয়ায়েব (আঃ) বললেন-হে দেশবাসী, তোমরা কি মনে কর! আমি যদি আমার পরওয়ারদেগারের পক্ষ হতে সুস্পষ্ট দলীলের উপর কায়েম থাকি আর তিনি যদি নিজের তরফ হতে আমাকে উত্তম রিযিক দান করে থাকেন, (তবে কি আমি তাঁর হুকুম অমান্য করতে পারি?) আর আমি চাই না যে তোমাদেরকে যা ছাড়াতে চাই পরে নিজেই সে কাজে লিপ্ত হব, আমি তো যথাসাধ্য শোধরাতে চাই। আল্লাহর মদদ দ্বারাই কিন্তু কাজ হয়ে থাকে, আমি তাঁর উপরই নির্ভর করি এবং তাঁরই প্রতি ফিরে যাই।
