Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
S: You will find others who desire that they should be safe from you and
secure from their own people; as often as they are sent back to the
mischief they get thrown into it headlong; therefore if they do not
withdraw from you, and (do not) offer you peace and restrain their
hands, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them; and
against these We have given you a clear authority.
004.092
Y: Never should a believer kill a believer; but (If it so happens) by
mistake, (Compensation is due): If one (so) kills a believer, it is
ordained that he should free a believing slave, and pay compensation to
the deceased's family, unless they remit it freely. If the deceased
belonged to a people at war with you, and he was a believer, the
freeing of a believing slave (Is enough). If he belonged to a people
with whom ye have treaty of Mutual alliance, compensation should be
paid to his family, and a believing slave be freed. For those who find
this beyond their means, (is prescribed) a fast for two months running:
by way of repentance to Allah: for Allah hath all knowledge and all
wisdom.
P: It is not for a believer to kill a believer unless (it be) by
mistake. He who hath killed a believer by mistake must set free a
believing slave, and pay the blood-money to the family of the slain,
unless they remit it as a charity. If he (the victim) be of a people
hostile unto you, and he is a believer, then (the penance is) to set
free a believing slave. And if he cometh of a folk between whom and you
there is a covenant, then the blood-money must be paid unto his folk
and (also) a believing slave must be set free. And whoso hath not the
wherewithal must fast two consecutive months. A penance from Allah.
Allah is Knower, Wise.
S: And it does not behoove a believer to kill a believer except by
mistake, and whoever kills a believer by mistake, he should free a
believing slave, and blood-money should be paid to his people unless
they remit it as alms; but if he be from a tribe hostile to you and he
is a believer, the freeing of a believing slave (suffices), and if he
is from a tribe between whom and you there is a convenant, the
blood-money should be paid to his people along with the freeing of a
believing slave; but he who cannot find (a slave) should fast for two
months successively: a penance from Allah, and Allah is Knowing, Wise.
004.093
Y: If a man kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell, to
abide therein (For ever): And the wrath and the curse of Allah are upon
him, and a dreadful penalty is prepared for him.
P: Whoso slayeth a believer of set purpose, his reward is hell for ever.
Allah is wroth against him and He hath cursed him and prepared for him
an awful doom.
S: And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his punishment is hell;
he shall abide in it, and Allah will send His wrath on him and curse
him and prepare for him a painful chastisement.
