English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

5:46

وَكَتَبْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ فِيهَآ أَنَّ ٱلنَّفْسَ بِٱلنَّفْسِ وَٱلْعَيْنَ بِٱلْعَيْنِ وَٱلْأَنفَ بِٱلْأَنفِ وَٱلْأُذُنَ بِٱلْأُذُنِ وَٱلسِّنَّ بِٱلسِّنِّ وَٱلْجُرُوحَ قِصَاصٌ ۚ فَمَن تَصَدَّقَ بِهِۦ فَهُوَ كَفَّارَةٌ لَّهُۥ ۚ وَمَن لَّمْ يَحْكُم بِمَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

And therein We prescribed for them: A life for a life, and an eye for an eye, and a nose for a nose, and an ear for an ear, and a tooth for a tooth, and for other injuries equitable retaliation. And whoso waives the right thereto, it shall be an expiation for his sins; and whoso judges not by what Allah has sent down, these it is who are wrongdoers.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور ہم نے ان پر اُس (یعنی تورات) میں فرض کر دیا تھا کہ جان کے بدلے جان (ہوگی) اور آنکھ کے بدلے آنکھ اور ناک کے بدلے ناک اور کان کے بدلے کان اور دانت کے بدلے دانت نیز زخموں کا بھی برابر کا بدلہ لینا ہوگا۔ پس جو کوئی (ازخود) بطور صدقہ اس (قصاص) کو معاف کر دے تو یہ اس کے لئے (اس کے گناہوں کا) کفّارہ بن جائے گا اور جو کوئی اس کے مطابق فیصلہ نہ کرے جو اللہ نے نازل کیا ہے تو یہی لوگ ہیں جو ظالم ہیں۔

French

Et Nous y avons prescrit pour eux : Vie pour vie, œil pour œil, nez pour nez, oreille pour oreille, dent pour dent, et le talion aussi pour d’ autres blessures. Et quant à celui qui y renoncera par charité, ce sera pour lui une expiation de ses propres péchés ; et ceux qui ne jugent pas d’après ce qu’Allāh a fait descendre, ceux-là sont les impies.

German

Wir hatten ihnen darin vorgeschrieben: Leben um Leben, Auge um Auge, Nase um Nase, Ohr um Ohr und Zahn um Zahn, und für (andere) Verletzungen billige Vergeltung. Wer aber darauf Verzicht tut, dem soll das eine Sühne sein; und wer nicht nach dem richtet, was Allah hinabgesandt hat – das sind die Ungerechten.

Chinese

我在 «摩西五经» 中为他们制定了以命偿命、以眼偿眼、以鼻偿鼻、以耳偿耳、以牙偿牙的经律, 其他的伤痕也要公平的报复。[378]但凡放弃这个权利的, 他的这个行为将成为他赎罪的因素。[a]凡不遵照安拉所下降的 (言语) 而做判断的, 他们就是真正不义的人。

5:45, 48.

见 «出埃及记» 21:23-25和 «利未记» 24:19-21。“凡放弃这个权利的” 这些字, 指证了一个事实, 即基督徒常自我炫耀的宽恕之道, 并非 «新约书» 所独有。虽然穆撒的教导强调报复, 但是, 正好像伊撒关于宽恕和不抵抗的教导所做的那样, 宽恕也是穆撒教导的一部分。

Italian

E in esso Noi abbiamo ordinato per loro: una vita per una vita, e occhio per occhio, e naso per naso, e orecchio per orecchio, e dente per dente, e per altre ferite una giusta pena. Ma chi rinuncerà a questo suo diritto, sarà in espiazione dei suoi peccati; e chiunque non giudichi secondo ciò che Allah ha fatto scendere, questi sono i trasgressori.

Spanish

Y en ella les prescribimos: vida por vida, ojo por ojo, nariz por nariz, oreja por oreja y diente por diente, y para otras heridas una retribución justa; pero quien renuncie a su derecho, le servirá como expiación por sus pecados; mas quienes no juzguen de acuerdo con lo que Al-lah ha revelado, ésos se contarán entre los inicuos.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور ہم نے اس (تورات) میں ان پر فرض کیا تھا کہ جان کے بدلہ میں جان‘ اور آنکھ کے بدلہ میں آنکھ‘ اور ناک کے بدلہ میں ناک‘ اور کان کے بدلہ میں کان‘ اور دانت[2] کے بدلہ میں دانت۔ اور نیز (زخموں کے بدلہ میں) زخم برابر کا بدلہ ہیں۔ مگر جو شخص (اپنے) اس (حق) کو چھوڑ دے تو (اس کا یہ فعل) اس کے لئے گناہ کی معافی کا ذریعہ ہو جائے گااور جو (لوگ) اس (کلام) کے مطابق فیصلہ نہ کریں جو اللہ نے نازل کیا ہے تو وہی (حقیقی) ظالم ہیں۔

تورات میں لکھا ہے ’’اور جو کوئی کسی آدمی کو مار ڈالے وہ ضرور جان سے مارا جائے۔ اور اگر کوئی شخص اپنے ہمسایہ کو عیب دار بنادے تو جیسا اس نے کیا ویسا ہی اس سے کیا جائے یعنی عضو توڑنے کے بدلے عضو توڑنا ہو اور آنکھ کے بدلے آنکھ اور دانت کے بدلے دانت‘‘۔ (پرانا عہدنامہ احبار باب۲۴ آیت۱۹‘۲۰)

English - Short Commentary Translation

And therein We prescribed for them: Life for life, and eye for eye, nose for nose, ear for ear, and tooth for tooth, and for other injuries equitable retaliation.[751] And whoso waives the right thereto, it shall be an expiation for his own sins; and [c]whoso judges not by what Allah has sent down, these it is who are wrongdoers.

5:45, 48.

See Exod. 21:23-25 and Leviticus 24: 19-21. The words, and whoso waives the right thereto, constitute evidence of the fact that teaching about forgiveness of which Christians boast so much was no monopoly of the Gospels. It also formed part of the teaching of Moses though Moses’s teaching lays stress on retaliation, as does that of Jesus on forgiveness and non-resistance.

English - Five Volume Translation

And therein We prescribed for them: A life for a life, and an eye for an eye, and a nose for a nose, and an ear for an ear, and a tooth for a tooth, and for other injuries equitable retaliation. And whoso waives the right thereto, it shall be an expiation for his own sins; and [a]whoso judges not by what Allah has sent down, these it is who are wrongdoers.[677]

5:45, 48.

Commentary:

As the law mentioned in this verse is clearly stated to have belonged to the Torah, though it is not to be found in the Bible as we now have it, the words, And whoso waives the right thereto, constitute clear evidence of the fact that the teaching about forgiveness of which Christians boast so much was no monopoly of the Gospels. It was contained in the Torah also, though at the same time there can be no denying the fact that the teachings of Moses lay extra stress on retaliation, as do those of Jesus on forgiveness and non-resistance.

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

توراۃ میں ہم نے یہودیوں پر یہ حکم لکھ دیا تھا کہ جان کے بدلے جان، آنکھ کے بدلے آنکھ، ناک کے بدلے ناک، کان کے بدلے کان، دانت کے بدلے دانت، اور تمام زخموں کے لیے برابر کا بدلہ پھر جو قصاص کا صدقہ کر دے تو وہ اس کے لیے کفارہ ہے اور جو لوگ اللہ کے نازل کردہ قانون کے مطابق فیصلہ نہ کریں وہی ظالم ہیں

English - Sahih

And We ordained for them therein a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds is legal retribution. But whoever gives [up his right as] charity, it is an expiation for him. And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the wrongdoers.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

اور ہم نے ان پراس کتاب میں لکھا تھا کہ جان بدلے جان کے اور آنکھ بدلے آنکھ کے اور ناک بدلے ناک کے اور کان بدلے کان کے اور دانت بدلے دانت کے اور زخموں کا بدلہ ان کے برابر ہے پھر جس نے معاف کر دیا تو وہ گناہ سے پاک ہو گیا اور جو کوئی اس کے موافق حکم نہ کرے جو الله نے اتارا سو وہی لوگ ظالم ہیں

English - Talal Itani

And We ordained for them in it that - the life for the life, and the eye for the eye, and the nose for the nose, and the ear for the ear, and the tooth for the tooth, and (for) wounds (is) retribution. But whoever gives charity with it, then it is an expiation for him. And whoever (does) not judge by what has revealed Allah, then those [they] (are) the wrongdoers.

English - Arberry

And therein We prescribed for them: 'A life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds retaliation'; but whosoever forgoes it as a freewill offering, that shall be for him an expiation. Whoso judges not according to what God has sent down -- they are the evildoers.

English - Maududi

And therein We had ordained for them: 'A life for a life, and an eye for an eye, and a nose for a nose, and an ear for an ear, and a tooth for a tooth, and for all wounds, like for like. But whosoever forgoes it by way of charity, it will be for him an expiation. Those who do not judge by what Allah has revealed are indeed the wrong-doers.

English - Ahmed Ali

And there (in the Torah) We had ordained for them a life for a life, and an eye for an eye, and a nose for a nose, and an ear for an ear, and a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds retribution, though he who forgoes it out of charity, atones for his sins. And those who do not judge by God's revelations are unjust.

English - Yusuf Ali

We ordained therein for them: "Life for life, eye for eye, nose or nose, ear for ear, tooth for tooth, and wounds equal for equal." But if any one remits the retaliation by way of charity, it is an act of atonement for himself. And if any fail to judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are (No better than) wrong-doers.

And We prescribed for them therein: The life for the life, and the eye for the eye, and the nose for the nose, and the ear for the ear, and the tooth for the tooth, and for wounds retaliation. But whoso forgoeth it (in the way of charity) it shall be expiation for him. Whoso judgeth not by that which Allah hath revealed: such are wrong-doers.

English - Muhammad Ali ^ra

And We prescribed to them in it that life is for life, and eye for eye, and nose for nose, and ear for ear, and tooth for tooth, and for wounds retaliation. But whoso forgoes it, it shall be an expiation for him. And whoever judges not by what Allah has revealed, those are the wrongdoers.

English - Sir Muhammad Zafrullah Khan ^ra

In the Torah We had prescribed for them: A life for a life and an eye for an eye, and a nose for a nose, and an ear for an ear, and a tooth for a tooth, and equitable retaliation for other injuries. Whoso waives his right thereto, it shall be an expiation for his sins, and whoso judges not by that which Allah has sent down, these it is who are the wrongdoers.
