Döyüşdə kafirlərlə qarşı-qarşıya gəldiyiniz zaman boyunlarını vurun. Nəhayət, onları qırıb zəiflətdikdə əsirlərə bağladığınız kəndirləri bərk çəkin. Sonra da onları ya rəhm edib fidyəsiz, ya da fidyə alıb azad edin. Müharibəyə son qoyulanadək kafirlərlə belə rəftar edin. Bax belə! Əgər Allah istəsəydi, onlardan döyüşsüz də intiqam alardı. Lakin O sizi biri-birinizlə sınağa çəkmək üçün belə etdi. Allah Öz yolunda öldürülənlərin əməllərini heç vaxt boşa çıxartmaz.

Azerice — V. Memmedeliyev ve Ziya Bünyadov

(Ey möʼminlər!) Kafirlərlə (döyüş meydanında) qarşılaşdığınız zaman boyunlarını vurun. Nəhayət, onları məğlub (əzib şil-küt) etdikdə, (qaçmasınlar deyə, əl-ayaqlarını) kəndirlə möhkəm bağlayın. Sonra da müharibə bitdikdə onları ya (boyunlarına minnət qoyub) məccani, ya da fidyə müqabilində azad edin! (İstəsəniz əsirləri bağışlayıb pulsuz-parasız azad edər, ya onları mübadilə edər, ya da müəyyən məbləğ pul, mal müqabilində buraxarsınız). (Əmr) budur! Əgər Allah istəsəydi, onlardan (başqa cür – müharibəsiz də) intiqam ala bilərdi. Lakin O sizi biri-birinizlə imtahana çəkmək üçün (vuruşmağınızı əmr etdi). Allah Öz yolunda öldürülənlərin əməllərini əsla puç etməz.

Almanca — Al-Azhar

Wenn ihr im Krieg auf die Ungläubigen trefft, schlagt ihnen auf den Nacken, bis ihr sie außer Gefecht gesetzt habt! Dann legt sie in Fesseln! Die Gefangenen könnt ihr später in Gnade oder gegen Lösegeld oder im Austausch freilassen. So habt ihr zu verfahren, bis der Krieg zu Ende ist. Wenn Gott wollte, hätte Er sie ohne Krieg besiegt. Aber Er will die einen von euch durch die anderen prüfen. Die Werke der Gläubigen, die auf dem Weg Gottes getötet werden, wird Er nicht zunichte machen,

Almanca — Der Edle Quran

Wenn ihr auf diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, (im Kampf) trefft, dann schlagt den Hals. Wenn ihr sie schließlich schwer niedergeschlagen habt, dann legt (ihnen) die Fesseln fest an. Danach (laßt sie) als Wohltat frei oder gegen Lösegeld, bis der Krieg seine Lasten ablegt. Dies (soll so sein)! Und wenn Allah wollte, würde Er sie wahrlich (allein) besiegen . Er will aber damit die einen von euch durch die anderen prüfen. Und denjenigen, die auf Allahs Weg getötet werden, wird Er ihre Werke nicht fehlgehen lassen;

Almanca — M. A. Rassoul

Wenn ihr auf die stoßt, die ungläubig sind, so haut (ihnen) auf den Nacken; und wenn ihr sie schließlich siegreich niedergekämpft habt, dann schnürt ihre Fesseln fest.(Fordert) dann hernach entweder Gnade oder Lösegeld, bis der Krieg seine Lasten (von euch) wegnimmt. Das ist so. Und hätte Allah es gewollt, hätte Er sie Selbst vertilgen können; aber Er wollte die einen von euch durch die anderen prüfen. Und diejenigen, die auf Allahs Weg gefallen sind - nie wird Er ihre Werke zunichte machen.

Almanca — Muhammad Zaidan

Und wenn ihr auf diejenigen, die Kufr betrieben haben, trefft, gibt es das Schlagen auf die Hälse. Dann wenn ihr ihnen schwere Verluste zugefügt habt, dann zieht die Fesseln fest. Danach ist entweder Begnadigung oder Auslösung, bis der Krieg seine Lasten ablegte . Es ist dies! Und wollte ALLAH, würde ER gewiß an ihnen Vergeltung üben. Doch damit ER die einen von euch durch die anderen prüft. Und diejenigen, die fi-sabilillah getötet wurden, ihre Handlungen läßt ER nie verloren gehen.

Abdel Khalek Himmat

So conditioned, when you people encounter those deniers of Allah, in combat, strike their necks to inflict death, and subdue the living at their peril, keep them in confinement and restrict their movements until hostilities have ceased and your enemies have laid down their arms. There and then you either set the captives free for nothing at all in return or for a ransom or for the freedom of Muslim captives. Had Allah willed, He would have punished them in His own manner. But He means to rear you and educate you so that your actions evince both wisdom and integrity, Allah then will establish your genuineness and quality as is asserted or claimed when reason has to deal with force and when you deal with each other in peace and in wars and to prove that the purpose of Allah is objectively the heart of your purpose. And remember that those of you who resisted blood, to acquire the glorious privilege of a martyr never will Allah imprint their works with irreverence profanity or damnation.

Abdul Haleem

When you meet the disbelievers in battle, strike them in the neck, and once they are defeated, bind any captives firmly––later you can release them by grace or by ransom––until the toils of war have ended. That [is the way]. God could have defeated them Himself if He had willed, but His purpose is to test some of you by means of others. He will not let the deeds of those who are killed for His cause come to nothing;

Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks; At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens. Thus (are ye commanded): but if it had been Allah's Will, He could certainly have exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets you fight) in order to test you, some with others. But those who are slain in the Way of Allah,- He will never let their deeds be lost.

Abul A'la Maududi

Aisha Bewley

Therefore when you meet those who are kafir strike their necks. Then when you have decimated them, tie their bonds tightly and set them free or ransom them, until the war is finally over. That is how it is to be. If Allah willed, He could avenge Himself on them. But it is so that He can test some of you by means of others. As for those who fight in the Way of Allah, He will not let their actions go astray.

Al-Hilali & Khan

So, when you meet (in fight - Jihâd in Allâh’s Cause) those who disbelieve, smite (their) necks till when you have killed and wounded many of them, then bind a bond firmly (on them, i.e. take them as captives). Thereafter (is the time) either for generosity (i.e. free them without ransom), or ransom (according to what benefits Islâm), until the war lays down its burden. Thus [you are ordered by Allâh to continue in carrying out Jihâd against the disbelievers till they embrace Islâm and are saved from the punishment in the Hell-fire or at least come under your protection], but if it had been Allâh’s Will, He Himself could certainly have punished them (without you). But (He lets you fight) in order to test some of you with others. But those who are killed in the Way of Allâh, He will never let their deeds be lost.[1]

Ali Quli Qarai

When you meet the faithless in battle, strike their necks. When you have thoroughly decimated them, bind the captives firmly. Thereafter either oblige them [by setting them free] or take ransom till the war lays down its burdens. That [is Allah’s ordinance], and had Allah wished He could have taken vengeance on them, but that He may test some of you by means of others. As for those who were slain in the way of Allah, He will not let their works go awry.

Amatul Rahman Omar

So (believers! now that you know the will of your Lord), when you meet in (regular) battle those who disbelieve strike off their heads. After you have bound them fast in fetters (as prisoners of war), then, afterwards, (release them, a must), either by way of grace or by (accepting) ransom. (That is the law,) until war lays down its weapons (and it is over). Such is (the ordinance of Allâh). Indeed if Allâh pleased He could have punished them (in other ways). But (the ways of warfare have been resorted to) so that He may reveal your worth at the hands of one another. As of those who are slain in the cause of Allâh He will never let their works go in vain.

Arthur John Arberry

When you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks, then, when you have made wide slaughter among them, tie fast the bonds; then set them free, either by grace or ransom, till the war lays down its loads. So it shall be; and if God had willed, He would have avenged Himself upon them; but that He may try some of you by means of others. And those who are slain in the way of God, He will not send their works astray.

Bijan Moeinian

If you are engaged in a war with disbelievers, fight with them bravely and strike their necks. When the war is over, you may chose to free the captives or ask for a ransom for their freedom. Know that if God wanted, he would have made you victorious without any fight. The Lord simply wants to test you by one another to prove to you how sincere you are in your belief. Be sure that God will never forget the sacrifice of those who offered their lives as a proof of their belief to their Creator.

E. Henry Palmer

And when ye meet those who misbelieve - then striking off heads until ye have massacred them, and bind fast the bonds! Then either a free grant (of liberty) or a ransom until the war shall have laid down its burdens. That!- but if God please He would conquer them - but (it is) that He may try some of you by the others. And those who are slain in God's cause, their works shall not go wrong;

Edip-Layth

So, if you encounter those who have rejected, then strike the control center until you overcome them. Then bind them securely. You may either set them free or ransom them, until the war ends. That, and had God willed, He alone could have beaten them, but He thus tests you by one another. As for those who get killed in the cause of God, He will never let their deeds be put to waste.

George Sale

When ye encounter the unbelievers, strike off their heads, until ye have made a great slaughter among them; and bind them in bonds: And either give them a free dismission afterwards, or exact a ransom; until the war shall have laid down its arms. This shall ye do: Verily if God pleased, He could take vengeance on them, without your assistance; but He commandeth you to fight his battles, that He may prove the one of you by the other. And as to those who fight in defence of God's true religion, God will not suffer their works to perish:

Hamid S. Aziz

So when you meet in battle those who disbelieve, then smite their necks until when you have overcome them, make them prisoners, and afterwards either set them free as a favour or let them ransom themselves until the war terminates. That is the command. And if Allah had pleased He could certainly have exacted what is due from them (without you), but (thus it is ordained) that He may try some of you by means of others. As for those who are slain in the way of Allah, He will by no means allow their deeds to perish.

Mahmoud Ghali

So when you meet the ones who have disbelieved, then it is striking of the necks until, when you have subjugated (Wrongly understood by Arberry and others to mean "slaughter") them, then uphold the bonds; (i. e., take them captives) then (it is) either being bounteous (i.e., "showing" bounty by setting them free) hereafter (to them), or (exacting) ransom, until the war lays down its encumbrances. So it shall be; and if Allah had (so) decided, He would have vindicated Himself upon them; but that He may try some of you by means of others (Literally: by means of some "others"). And the ones who have been killed in the way of Allah, then He will never send their deeds into error.

Marmaduke Pickthall

Now when ye meet in battle those who disbelieve, then it is smiting of the necks until, when ye have routed them, then making fast of bonds; and afterward either grace or ransom till the war lay down its burdens. That (is the ordinance). And if Allah willed He could have punished them (without you) but (thus it is ordained) that He may try some of you by means of others. And those who are slain in the way of Allah, He rendereth not their actions vain.

Mohamed Ahmed - Samira

So, when you clash with the unbelievers, smite their necks until you overpower them, then hold them in bondage. Then either free them graciously or after taking a ransom, until war shall have come to end. If God had pleased He could have punished them (Himself), but He wills to test some of you through some others. He will not allow the deeds of those who are killed in the cause of God to go waste.

Muhammad Asad

NOW WHEN you meet [in war] those who are bent on denying the truth, smite their necks until you overcome them fully, and then tighten their bonds; but thereafter [set them free,] either by an act of grace or against ransom, so that the burden of war may be lifted: thus [shall it be]. And [know that] had God so willed, He could indeed punish them [Himself]; but [He wills you to struggle] so as to test you [all] by means of one another. And as for those who are slain in God’s cause, never will He let their deeds go to waste:

Mustafa Khattab

So when you meet the disbelievers ˹in battle˺, strike ˹their˺ necks until you have thoroughly subdued them, then bind them firmly. Later ˹free them either as˺ an act of grace or by ransom until the war comes to an end. So will it be. Had Allah willed, He ˹Himself˺ could have inflicted punishment on them. But He does ˹this only to˺ test some of you by means of others. And those who are martyred in the cause of Allah,[1] He will never render their deeds void.

Progressive Muslims

So, if you encounter those who have rejected, then strike their formations until you overcome them, then bind them securely. You may either set them free or ransom them, until the war ends. And had God willed, He alone could have beaten them, but He thus tests you by one another. As for those who get killed in the cause of God, He will never let their deeds be put to waste.

Sahih International

So when you meet those who disbelieve [in battle], strike [their] necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure their bonds, and either [confer] favor afterwards or ransom [them] until the war lays down its burdens. That [is the command]. And if Allah had willed, He could have taken vengeance upon them [Himself], but [He ordered armed struggle] to test some of you by means of others. And those who are killed in the cause of Allah - never will He waste their deeds.

Sam Gerrans

And when you meet those who ignore warning: — then the smiting of the necks. When you have battled them strenuously, then make strong the bonds; then: — either grace thereafter or ransom, until the war lays down its burdens. That when, had God willed, He would have taken revenge upon them; but that He might try some of you by means of others[...]. And those who are slain in the cause of God, He will not send their deeds astray;

Shabbir Ahmed

Now if you meet the disbelievers in battle, strike at their command centers. When you have subdued them, bind in a firm bond, and thereafter an act of kindness or ransom till the battle lays down its weapons. (Free the captives as an act of kindness or ransom, such as in exchange for your men in their captivity. There is no third option). And if Allah willed, He could indeed punish them Himself, but that He may let you humans test one by means of another (as to which nation remains vigilant). And, as for those who are slain in the Cause of Allah, He will never let their actions be lost.

Syed Vickar Ahamed

Therefore, when you meet the unbelievers [in a holy battle], strike (hard) at their necks; Till you have fully defeated (and finally felled) them. Place a bond firmly (on them): Thereafter (is the time for) either kindness or negotiation (with ransom): Until, the war lays down its burdens, (and it ends). Like this (are you commanded); But if it had been Allah’s Will, He (Himself) could certainly have ordered punishment for them; But (He lets you fight) in order to test you, some (to fight) with others. But those who are killed in the way of Allah— He will never let their deeds be lost.

Taqi Usmani

So, when you encounter those who disbelieve, then (aim at) smiting the necks, until when you have broken their strength thoroughly, then tie fast the bond, (by making them captives). Then choose (to release them) either (as) a favour (shown to them,), or (after receiving) ransom,until the war throws down its load of arms. That (is Our command.) If Allah willed, He would have (Himself) subjected them to retribution, but (Allah ordered you to fight,) so that He may test some of you through some others. And those who are killed in Allah’s way, He will never let their deeds go to waste.

The Monotheist Group

Therefore, if you encounter those who have rejected, then strike the necks; until you bind them, then secure the cords. You may then either set them free or ransom them, until the war ends. That, and if God had willed, He alone could have beaten them, but He thus tests you by one another. As for those who get killed in the cause of God, He will never let their deeds be put to waste.

Fransızca — Muhammad Hamidullah

Lorsque vous rencontrez (au combat) ceux qui ont mécru frappez-en les cous. Puis, quand vous les avez dominés, enchaînez-les solidement. Ensuite, cʹest soit la libération gratuite, soit la rançon, jusquʹà ce que la guerre dépose ses fardeaux. Il en est ainsi, car si Allah voulait, Il se vengerait Lui-même contre eux, mais cʹest pour vous éprouver les uns par les autres. Et ceux qui seront tués dans le chemin dʹAllah, Il ne rendra jamais vaines leurs actions.

(Gelî mumînan) Gava (di şer de) hûn rastî kafiran bên li stûyên wan bixin (û wan bikujin). Paşê gava we berxwedana wan şikand, vêca (wan esîr bigirin û) qeydên wan bişidînin.

En wanneer jullie hen die ongelovig zijn (in de strijd) ontmoeten, slaat hen dan dood, maar wanneer jullie dan de overhand over hen verkregen hebben boeit hen dan stevig vast, hetzij om hen later als gunst vrij te laten hetzij om hen los te laten kopen, wanneer de lasten van de oorlog zijn afgelegd. Zo is het. En als God zou willen zou Hij zelf zich op hen wreken, maar Hij wil jullie met elkaar op de proef stellen. En zij die op Gods weg gedood zijn, hun daden zullen niet teloorgaan.

Hollandaca — Salomo Keyzer

Als gij de ongeloovigen ontmoet, slaat hun het hoofd af, tot gij eene groote slachting onder hen hebt aangericht; of bindt hen, opdat zij niet ontkomen. Daarna zult gij hen in vrijheid stellen, of hen teruggeven tegen een losprijs, tot de oorlog zal geëindigd zijn. Dit zult gij doen. Waarlijk, indien het Gode behaagde, zou hij, zonder uwen bijstand, wraak op hen kunnen nemen, maar hij beveelt u in zijne veldslagen te strijden, opdat hij den een van u, door den ander zou kunnen beproeven. En wat hen betreft, die ter verdediging van Gods waren godsdienst strijden, God zal hunne werken niet doen verloren gaan.

Hollandaca — Siregar

Wanneer jullie degenen die ongelovig zijn (op het slagveld) ontmoeten: doodt hen. Wanneer jullie hen verslagen hebben: bindt (de gevangenen) dan stevig vast, of laat (hen) vrij of vrij (na) een losgeld, tot de oorlog voorbij is. Zo is het. En als Allah het wil, dan vernietigt Hij hen zeker. Maar Hij wil een groep van jullie beproeven met een andere groep. En degenen die gedood worden op de Weg van Allah: Hij doet hun werk nooit verloren gaan.

Rusça — Ebu Adel

А когда вы (находясь в военном походе) встретите тех, которые стали неверными (и вышли воевать против вас), то (наносите им) удар мечом по шее [сражайтесь насмерть]; а когда вы подавите их (разбив их мощь) (и ослабите их этим), то (берите их в плен и) крепите узы [оковы] (пленных). Затем, (после этого вы можете проявить по отношению к пленным) либо милость (даровав им свободу без выкупа), либо (можете взять за них) выкуп, (или же вы можете их поработить, или же наказать) пока война не сложит своих нош [пока она продолжается]. Таково (положение относительно воюющих неверующих)! А если бы пожелал Аллах, Он Сам бы отомстил им [неверующим] [верующим не пришлось бы воевать], но (эта война случилась для того,) чтобы одних из вас испытать другими (и увидеть, кто из вас усердствует на Его пути, кто терпеливо переносит испытания и воздать за это наградой). А у тех (верующих), которые убиты на пути Аллаха, – никогда Он не даст пропасть их деяниям [непременно воздаст за это наградой]:

Rusça — Osmanov

Когда вы встречаетесь с неверными [в бою], то рубите им голову. Когда же вы разобьете их совсем, то крепите оковы [пленных]. А потом или милуйте, или же берите выкуп [и так продолжайте], пока война не завершится. Так оно и есть. А если бы Аллах пожелал, то Он покарал бы их Сам, но Он хочет испытать одних из вас посредством других. [Аллах] никогда не даст сгинуть понапрасну деяниям тех, кто был убит [в сражении] во имя Его.

İsveççe — Knut Bernström

DÅ NI möter förnekarna (i strid), låt (svärden) falla över deras huvuden till dess ni har tvingat dem på knä; tag därefter (de överlevande) till fånga. Sedan (kommer den tid) då ni skall ge dem fria, godvilligt eller mot lösen, för att kriget skall lägga av sina bördor. Detta (är vad ni har att iaktta). Om Gud ville kunde Han helt visst slå ned dem (utan er medverkan), men genom att låta er kämpa mot varandra sätter Han er alla på prov. Och vad dem beträffar som stupar i kampen för Guds sak, skall Han inte låta deras handlingar bli förgäves;
