Bu, onların olduğu kimi şahidlik etmələri və ya andlarının sonradan varislər tərəfindən başqa andlarla rədd edilməsindən qorxmaları üçün daha münasibdir. Allahdan qorxun və qulaq asın! Allah günahkar tayfanı doğru yola yönəltməz.

Azerice — V. Memmedeliyev ve Ziya Bünyadov

Bu (hökm) onların (əvvəlki şahidlərin) şəhadəti olduğu kimi vermələri və andlarının sonradan başqa andlarla rədd edilməsindən qorxmaları üçün daha münasib bir üsuldur. Allahdan qorxun və (Onu) eşidin. Allah fasiq qövmü doğru yola yönəltməz!

Almanca — Al-Azhar

Auf diese Weise werden sie das Zeugnis rechtmäßig ablegen, oder sie werden fürchten, daß andere unter Eid abgelegte Zeugnisse gegen sie verkündet werden. Fürchtet Gott und hört auf Ihn! Gott leitet nicht die Menschen, die Seine Gebote und Verbote übertreten.

Almanca — Der Edle Quran

Das ist eher geeignet, daß sie das Zeugnis, wie es sein soll, ablegen oder sie befürchten (müssen), daß nach ihren Eiden wieder (andere) Eide (geschworen) werden. Und fürchtet Allah und hört! Allah leitet das Volk der Frevler nicht recht.

Almanca — M. A. Rassoul

So geschieht es eher, daß sie ein wahres Zeugnis ablegen oder daß sie fürchten, es könnten andere Eide nach ihrem Eide gefordert werden. Und fürchtet Allah und hört! Denn Allah weist nicht den ungehorsamen Leuten den Weg.

Almanca — Muhammad Zaidan

Dies kommt dem am Nächsten, daß sie das Zeugnis wahrheitsgemäß ablegen oder daß sie fürchten, daß (andere) Eide ihre Eide annullieren. Und handelt Taqwa gemäß ALLAH gegenüber und hört zu! ALLAH leitet die fisq-betreibende Gemeinschaft nicht recht.

Abdel Khalek Himmat

This prudent course of action is less likely to make the witnesses depart from moral righteousness; it will induce them to honesty lest their testimony be rejected and be replaced by others. Therefore, keep you people Allah in mind and entertain the profound reverence dutiful to Him; Allah does not guide to His path of righteousness those who are given to evil.

Abdul Haleem

that will make it more likely they will give true and proper testimony, or fear that their oaths might be refuted by others afterwards. Be mindful of God and listen; God does not guide those who break His laws.

Abdullah Yusuf Ali

That is most suitable: that they may give the evidence in its true nature and shape, or else they would fear that other oaths would be taken after their oaths. But fear Allah, and listen (to His counsel): for Allah guideth not a rebellious people:

Abul A'la Maududi

Thus it is more likely that they will either bear the right testimony or else they will at least fear that their oaths may be rebutted by other oaths. Have fear of Allah and pay heed. Allah does not direct the disobedient to the right way.

Aisha Bewley

That makes it more likely that they will give their evidence properly or be afraid that their oaths will be refuted by subsequent oaths. Have taqwa of Allah and listen carefully. Allah does not guide deviant people.

Al-Hilali & Khan

That should make it closer (to the fact) that their testimony would be in its true shape (and thus accepted), or else they would fear that (other) oaths would be admitted after their oaths. And fear Allâh and listen (with obedience to Him). And Allâh guides not the people who are Al-Fâsiqûn (the rebellious and disobedient).

Ali Quli Qarai

That makes it likelier that they give the testimony in its genuine form, or fear that other oaths will be taken after their oaths. Be wary of Allah and listen, and Allah does not guide the transgressing lot.

Amatul Rahman Omar

This way is more likely to ensure that they (-the witnesses) will give the testimony in its true form and nature or atleast they will be afraid that other oaths will be taken after their oaths (to counter them). Therefore take Allâh as a shield and listen (to Him) for Allâh guides not the disobedient people to the way of success.

Arthur John Arberry

So it is likelier that they will bear testimony in proper form, or else they will be afraid that after their oaths, oaths may be rebutted. Fear God, and hearken; God guides not the people of the ungodly.

Bijan Moeinian

It is expected that in this manner the people will say the whole truth for the fear of their reputation being at stake as it may be challenged by the others’ testimonies. Fear the Lord and listen to Him. Know that the Lord will not guide the corrupt people.

E. Henry Palmer

thus is it easier for men to bear testimony according to the purport thereof, else must they fear lest an oath be given to rebut their own oath; but let them fear God and listen, for God guides not the people who do ill.

Edip-Layth

This is best so that they would bring the testimony on its face value, for fear that their oaths would be discarded after being made. Be aware of God, and listen; God does not guide the wicked people.

George Sale

Thus it is more likely that they will give evidence according to facts or that they will fear that other oaths will be taken after their oaths. And fear Allah and hearken. And Allah guides not the disobedient people.

Hamid S. Aziz

Thus is it more likely that they will bear true testimony according to its purport; else must they fear lest an oath be given to rebut their own oath. So let them be mindful of their duty to Allah and listen, for Allah guides not the people who do evil.

Mahmoud Ghali

So, it is likelier that they will bear testimony in proper form (Literally: come up with the testimony at its "proper" face) or fear that after their (other) oaths may be turned back to. And be pious to Allah and give ear (obediently); and Allah does not guide the immoral people.

Marmaduke Pickthall

Thus it is more likely that they will bear true witness or fear that after their oaths the oaths (of others) will be taken. So be mindful of your duty (to Allah) and hearken. Allah guideth not the froward folk.

Mohamed Ahmed - Samira

It is thus likely that men will bear witness rightly, or else fear that their oaths may be disproved by oaths given after them. So fear God, and do not forget that God does not guide the iniquitous.

Muhammad Asad

Thus it will be more likely that people will offer testimony in accordance with the truth-or else they will [have cause to] fear that their oaths will be refuted by the oaths of others. Be, then, conscious of God, and hearken [unto Him]: for God does not bestow His guidance upon iniquitous folk.

Mustafa Khattab

In this way it is more likely that witnesses will give true testimony or else fear that their oaths could be refuted by those of the heirs. Be mindful of Allah and obey. For Allah does not guide the rebellious people.

Progressive Muslims

This is best so that they would bring the testimony on its face value, for fear that their oaths would be discarded after being made. And be aware of God, and listen; God does not guide the wicked people.

Sahih International

That is more likely that they will give testimony according to its [true] objective, or [at least] they would fear that [other] oaths might be taken after their oaths. And fear Allah and listen; and Allah does not guide the defiantly disobedient people.

Sam Gerrans

That will tend to them bearing witness properly, or fearing that oaths will be taken after their oaths. And be in prudent fear of God, and listen; and God guides not the perfidious people.

Shabbir Ahmed

This procedure will encourage an honest testimony to begin with. The first witnesses will be more likely to bear true witness fearing that after their oath, the oath of others might be taken. Be mindful of Allah's Laws, and listen. Allah does not guide those who decide to drift away from the Straight Path.

Syed Vickar Ahamed

That is most suitable: That they may give evidence in its true nature and shape, (and in its true meaning) or else they would fear that other statements would be taken after their statements. And fear Allah, and listen (with sincerity to His Word): For Allah does not guide people who are rebellious.

Taqi Usmani

Thus, it is more likely that the former people (i.e. the executors of the bequest) will bear witness in its proper way, or they will fear that oaths will be taken in rebuttal of their oaths. Fear Allah and listen. Allah does not lead sinning people to the right path.

The Monotheist Group

This is best as they are more likely to bring the testimony as intended, or face that their oaths would be disregarded as the previous oaths. And be aware of God, and listen; God does not guide the wicked people.

Fransızca — Muhammad Hamidullah

Cʹest le moyen le plus sûr pour les inciter à fournir le témoignage dans sa forme réelle; ou leur faire craindre de voir dʹautres serments se substituer aux leurs. Et craignez Allah et écoutez. Allah ne guide pas les gens pervers.

Kürtçe Meal

Ev şahdehiya bi vî rengî ji bo we çêtir e ku şahid mercê şahidiya xwe bînin cih û (çêtir e ku) ji sondeke piştî sonda xwe bitirsin ku ew a wan red bike (û hetîketiya wan derîne rastê). Hay ji (ferman û qedexeyên) Xwedê hebin û li fermanên wî guhdar bin. Xwedê mirovê jirêderketî rasterê nake.

Hollandaca — Fred Leemhuis

Dat bevordert het best dat zij overeenkomstig de werkelijkheid getuigenis geven. Of zij moeten vrezen dat na hun eden nog weer andere eden worden gegeven. En vreest God en hoort. God wijst de verdorven mensen de goede richting niet.

Hollandaca — Salomo Keyzer

Dit zal gemakkelijker zijn, dat de menschen eene getuigenis afleggen overeenkomstig hare ware bedoeling, of zij zullen vreezen, dat een andere eed na hunnen eed mocht worden afgelegd. Vreest daarom God en luistert; want God leidt de onrechtvaardigen niet.

Hollandaca — Siregar

Dat is passender: dat zij de getuigenis afleggen overeenkomstig haar ware inhoud of (het is passender) dat zij vrezen dat eden na hun eden afgenomen zullen worden. En vreest Allah en luistert (naar Hem). En Allah leidt het zwaar zondige volk niet.

Rusça — Ebu Adel

Это [такое положение, когда есть сомнение в надежности свидетелей] – ближе к тому, чтобы они давали свидетельство по его обличию [в таком виде, как оно есть, без изменения] или боялись того, что будут отклонены клятвы после их клятв (и они будут опозорены перед людьми). И остерегайтесь (наказания) Аллаха выполняя то, что Он повелел и сторонясь того, что Он запретил) и слушайте, – ведь Аллах не ведет (прямым путем) [в Рай] непокорных людей [тех, которые вышли из повиновения Аллаху и затем Его посланнику]!

Rusça — Osmanov

Такой способ свидетельствования предпочтителен. А иначе им придется опасаться, что будут произнесены [другие] клятвы после их клятв. Бойтесь же Аллаха и слушайте [Его]! Ведь Аллах не ведет прямым путем нечестивцев.

İsveççe — Knut Bernström

Detta (tillvägagångssätt) ökar sannolikheten att sanna vittnesbörd avges; vittnena måste annars vara rädda att (andras) eder därefter ställs mot deras eder. Frukta därför Gud och lyd (Hans befallningar); Gud vägleder sannerligen inte trotsiga syndare.
