Among them are some who (pretend to) listen to thee: But canst thou make the deaf to hear,- even though they are without understanding?

Truly thou canst not cause the dead to listen, nor canst thou cause the deaf to hear the call, (especially) when they turn back in retreat.

So verily thou canst not make the dead to hear, nor canst thou make the deaf to hear the call, when they show their backs and turn away.

Canst thou then make the deaf to hear, or give direction to the blind or to such as (wander) in manifest error?

他们中有倾听你的，难道你能使聋子闻道吗？如果他们是不明理的。

你必定不能使死人听（你讲道）。你必定不能使退避的聋子听你召唤。

你必不能使死人听（你讲道），你必不能使退避的聋子听你呼唤。

难道你能使聋子听闻，或能引导瞎子和在明显的迷误中的人吗？
