ያቺንም አላህ ያወገዛትን ነፍስ ያለ ሕግ አትግደሉ ፡ ፡ የተበደለም ኾኖ የተገደለ ሰው ለዘመዱ ( በገዳዩ ላይ ) በእርግጥ ስልጣንን አድርገናል ፡ ፡ በመግደልም ወሰንን አይለፍ ፤ እርሱ የተረዳ ነውና ፡ ፡
Do not take life which God has made inviolate -- except by right . If anyone is killed wrongfully , We have given authority to his heirs to demand retribution , but let them not transgress the prescribed limits in exacting retribution ; for then he will be assisted [ by the law ] .
