But can you make the deaf hear even though they cannot understand? ### Progressive Muslims And there are some of them who listen to you; but can you make the deaf hear, if they do not comprehend ### Shabbir Ahmed Among them are those who apparently listen to you. (But their thoughts are wandering). Can you make those deaf to hear who do not use reason? (47:16). ### Sam Gerrans — The Qur'an: A Complete Revelation And among them are some who listen to thee — canst thou make the deaf to hear, though they do not reason? ### The Monotheist Group — The Quran: A Monotheist Translation And there are some of them who listen to you; but can you make the deaf hear, if they do not comprehend? ### Rashad Khalifa — The Final Testament Some of them listen to you, but can you make the deaf hear, even though they cannot understand? ### Mohamed Ahmed - Samira Some of them listen to you: But can you make the deaf hear who do not understand a thing? ### Sahih International — (Umm Muhammad, Mary Kennedy, Amatullah Bantley) And among them are those who listen to you.

For they only heard the sounds of the words he spoke to them, just as the animals hear the sound of the words, but pay no attention to understand what is said to them. This was because they were prejudiced against him and had already decided that they would not acknowledge anything, however, reasonable that may be, if it went against the creeds and ways they had inherited, and against their own desires, lusts, and interests. Likewise those people who live like animals hear the sounds of his words, but pay no attention to their meaning for they are not interested in anything other than eating, drinking and making merry. They are so engaged in and intoxicated with the gratification of their lusts that they never bother to find out whether what they are doing is right or wrong. All such people are deaf to the Message, though they might have ears for other things. ### Abdel Khalek Himmat — Al- Muntakhab Among them are some who listen to your discourse on practical divinity but they counsel deaf.
