|  قالوا بل وجدنا آباءنا كذلك يفعلون
قَالُوا بَلْ وَجَدْنَا آبَاءَنَا كَذَلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ |
| Words | |قالوا - They said,| بل - "Nay,| وجدنا - but we found| آباءنا - our forefathers| كذلك - like that -| يفعلون - doing."| |

|
| «የለም! አባቶቻችን እንደዚሁ ሲሠሩ አገኘን» አሉት፡፡ |
| آل الجلالين | { قالوا بل وجدنا آباءنا كذلك يفعلون } أي مثل فعلنا . |
| Nnan: "xaîi, nufa d imezwura nne$, akka ay xeddmen". |
| মুহিউদ্দীন খান | তারা বললঃ না, তবে আমরা আমাদের পিতৃপুরুষদেরকে পেয়েছি, তারা এরূপই করত। |
| Literal | They said: "But we found our fathers as/like that they make/do ." |
| Yusuf Ali | They said: "Nay, but we found our fathers doing thus (what we do)." |

| Asad | They exclaimed: But we found our forefathers doing the same!" [The particle bal at the beginning of the sentence expresses astonishment. Thus, evading a direct answer to Abraham's criticism of idol-worship, his people merely stress its antiquity, forgetting - as Zamakhshari points out - that "ancient usage and precedence in time are no proof of [a concept] soundness". Razi, for his part, states that the above verse represents "one of the strongest [Quranic] indications of the immorality (fasad) inherent in [the principle of] taqlid", i.e., the blind, unquestioning adoption of religious concepts or practices on the basis of ones uncritical faith in no more than the "authority" of a scholar or religious leader.] |

| Abul Ala Maududi | انہوں نے جواب دیا "نہیں، بلکہ ہم نے اپنے باپ دادا کو ایسا ہی کرتے پایا ہے" |
| Ahmed Ali | کہنے لگے بلکہ ہم نے اپنے باپ دادا کو ایسا کرتے پایا ہے |
