ያቺንም አላህ ያወገዛትን ነፍስ ያለ ሕግ አትግደሉ ፡ ፡ የተበደለም ኾኖ የተገደለ ሰው ለዘመዱ ( በገዳዩ ላይ ) በእርግጥ ስልጣንን አድርገናል ፡ ፡ በመግደልም ወሰንን አይለፍ ፤ እርሱ የተረዳ ነውና ፡ ፡
And do not take a life , which God has forbidden , except in a just cause . We have given the right ( of redress ) to the heir of the person who is killed , but he should not exceed the limits ( of justice ) by slaying ( the killer ) , for he will be judged ( by the same law ) .
