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 ፡ ፡
When you meet those who deny the truth in battle , strike them in the neck , and once they are defeated , make [ them ] prisoners , and afterwards either set them free as an act of grace , or let them ransom [ themselves ] until the war is finally over . Thus you shall do ; and if God had pleased , He would certainly have exacted retribution from them , but His purpose is to test some of you by means of others .
