Yusuf Ali
Or lest ye should say: "Our fathers before us may have taken false gods, but we are (their) descendants after them: wilt Thou then destroy us because of the deeds of men who were futile?"

Sahih International
Or [lest] you say, "It was only that our fathers associated [others in worship] with Allah before, and we were but descendants after them. Then would You destroy us for what the falsifiers have done?"

Shakir
Or you should say: Only our fathers associated others (with Allah) before, and we were an offspring after them: Wilt Thou then destroy us for what the vain doers did?

Pickthall
Or lest ye should say: (It is) only (that) our fathers ascribed partners to Allah of old and we were (their) seed after them. Wilt Thou destroy us on account of that which those who follow falsehood did?

محمد جالندھری
یا یہ (نہ) کہو کہ شرک تو پہلے ہمارے بڑوں نے کیا تھا۔ اور ہم تو ان کی اولاد تھے (جو) ان کے بعد (پیدا ہوئے)۔ تو کیا جو کام اہل باطل کرتے رہے اس کے بدلے تو ہمیں ہلاک کرتا ہے
