እነዚያንም የካዱትን ( በጦር ላይ ) ባገኛችሁ ጊዜ ጫንቃዎችን በኀይል ምቱ ፡ ፡ ባደካማችኋቸውም ጊዜ ( አትግደሏቸው ማርኳቸው ) ፡ ፡ ማሰሪያውንም አጥብቁ ፡ ፡ በኋላም ወይም በነጻ ትለቋቸዋላችሁ ፤ ወይም ትበዧቸዋላችሁ ፡ ፡ ( ይህም ) ጦሪቱ መሳሪያዋን እስከምትጥል ድረስ ነው ፡ ፡ ( ነገሩ ) ይህ ነው ፡ ፡ አላህም ቢሻ ከእነርሱ ( ያለጦር ) በተበቀለ ነበር ፡ ፡ ግን ከፊላችሁን በከፊሉ ሊሞክር ( በዚህ አዘዛችሁ ) ፡ ፡ እነዚያንም በአላህ መንገድ ላይ የተገደሉትን ሥራዎቻቸውን ፈጽሞ አያጠፋባቸውም ፡ ፡
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 .
