Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Behold, thy Lord said to the angels: "I will create a vicegerent on earth." They said: "Wilt Thou place therein one who will make mischief therein and shed blood?- whilst we do celebrate Thy praises and glorify Thy holy (name)?" He said: "I know what ye know not."
Mufti Taqi Usmani
(Remember) when your Lord said to the angels, .I am going to create a deputy on the earth!. They said, .Will You create there one who will spread disorder on the earth and cause bloodshed, while we proclaim Your purity, along with your praise, and sanctify Your name?. He said, .Certainly, I know what you know not..
Muhammad Marmaduke Pickthall
And when thy Lord said unto the angels: Lo! I am about to place a viceroy in the earth, they said: wilt Thou place therein one who will do harm therein and will shed blood, while we, we hymn Thy praise and sanctify Thee? He said: Surely I know that which ye know not.
Sahih International
And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority." They said, "Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood, while we declare Your praise and sanctify You?" Allah said, "Indeed, I know that which you do not know."

Lorsque Ton Seigneur confia aux Anges: "Je vais établir sur la terre un vicaire "Khalifa". Ils dirent: "Vas-Tu y désigner un qui y mettra le désordre et répandra le sang, quand nous sommes là à Te sanctifier et à Te glorifier?" - Il dit: "En vérité, Je sais ce que vous ne savez pas!".
Вот твой Господь сказал ангелам: «Я установлю на земле наместника». Они сказали: «Неужели Ты поселишь там того, кто будет распространять нечестие и проливать кровь, тогда как мы прославляем Тебя хвалой и освящаем Тебя?» Он сказал: «Воистину, Я знаю то, чего вы не знаете».
Portugese
(Recorda-te ó Profeta) de quando teu Senhor disse aos anjos: Vou instituir um legatário na terra! Perguntaram-Lhe: Estabelecerás nela quem alí fará corrupção, derramando sangue, enquanto nós celebramos Teus louvores, glorificando-Te? Disse (o Senhor): Eu sei o que vós ignorais.
German
Und als dein Herr zu den Engeln sprach: "Wahrlich, Ich werde auf der Erde einen Nachfolger einsetzen", sagten sie: "Willst Du auf ihr jemanden einsetzen, der auf ihr Unheil anrichtet und Blut vergießt, wo wir doch Dein Lob preisen und Deine Herrlichkeit rühmen?" Er sagte: "Wahrlich, Ich weiß, was ihr nicht wisset."
