ያቺንም አላህ ያወገዛትን ነፍስ ያለ ሕግ አትግደሉ ፡ ፡ የተበደለም ኾኖ የተገደለ ሰው ለዘመዱ ( በገዳዩ ላይ ) በእርግጥ ስልጣንን አድርገናል ፡ ፡ በመግደልም ወሰንን አይለፍ ፤ እርሱ የተረዳ ነውና ፡ ፡
And whoever is killed ( intentionally with hostility and oppression and not by mistake ) , We have given his heir the authority [ ( to demand Qisas , Law of Equality in punishment or to forgive , or to take Diya ( blood money ) ] . But let him not exceed limits in the matter of taking life ( i.e. he should not kill except the killer only ) .
