Yusuf Ali
They said: "O Salih! thou hast been of us! a centre of our hopes hitherto! dost thou (now) forbid us the worship of what our fathers worshipped? But we are really in suspicious (disquieting) doubt as to that to which thou invitest us."

Sahih International
They said, "O Salih, you were among us a man of promise before this. Do you forbid us to worship what our fathers worshipped? And indeed we are, about that to which you invite us, in disquieting doubt."

Shakir
They said: O Salih! surely you were one amongst us in whom great expectations were placed before this; do you (now) forbid us from worshipping what our fathers worshipped? And as to that which you call us to, most surely we are in disquieting doubt.

Pickthall
They said: O Salih! Thou hast been among us hitherto as that wherein our hope was placed. Dost thou ask us not to worship what our fathers worshipped? Lo! we verily are in grave doubt concerning that to which thou callest us.

محمد جالندھری
انہوں نے کہا کہ صالح اس سے پہلے ہم تم سے (کئی طرح کی) امیدیں رکھتے تھے (اب وہ منقطع ہوگئیں) کیا تم ہم کو ان چیزوں کے پوجنے سے منع کرتے ہو جن کو ہمارے بزرگ پوجتے آئے ہیں؟ اور جس بات کی طرف تم ہمیں بلاتے ہو، اس میں ہمیں قوی شبہ ہے
