O you who believe! Al-Qisas (the Law of Equality in punishment) is prescribed for you in case of murder: the free for the free, the slave for the slave, and the female for the female. But if the killer is forgiven by the brother (or the relatives, etc.) of the killed against blood money, then adhering to it with fairness and payment of the blood money, to the heir should be made in fairness. This is an alleviation and a mercy from your Lord. So after this whoever transgresses the limits (i.e. kills the killer after taking the blood money), he shall have a painful torment.
Enyi mlio amini! Mmepewa ruhusa kulipa kisasi katika walio uwawa - muungwana kwa muungwana, na mtumwa kwa mtumwa, na mwanamke kwa mwanamke. Na anaye samehewa na ndugu yake chochote basi ashikwe kulipa kwa wema, na yeye alipe kwa ihsani. Huko ni kupunguziwa kuliko tokana na Mola wenu Mlezi, na ni rehema. Na atakaye vuka mipaka baada ya haya, basi yeye atapata adhabu chungu.
