Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
P: Allah will not take you to task for that which is unintentional in
your oaths, but He will take you to task for the oaths which ye swear
in earnest. The expiation thereof is the feeding of ten of the needy
with the average of that wherewith ye feed your own folk, or the
clothing of them, or the liberation of a slave, and for him who findeth
not (the wherewithal to do so) then a three days' fast. This is the
expiation of your oaths when ye have sworn; and keep your oaths. Thus
Allah expoundeth unto you His revelations in order that ye may give
thanks.
S: Allah does not call you to account for what is vain in your oaths,
but He calls you to account for the making of deliberate oaths; so its
expiation is the feeding of ten poor men out of the middling (food) you
feed your families with, or their clothing, or the freeing of a neck;
but whosoever cannot find (means) then fasting for three days; this is
the expiation of your oaths when you swear; and guard your oaths. Thus
does Allah make clear to you His communications, that you may be
Fateful.

Y: O ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, (dedication of) stones,
and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination,- of Satan's handwork:
eschew such (abomination), that ye may prosper.
P: O ye who believe! Strong drink and games of chance and idols and
divining arrows are only an infamy of Satan's handiwork. Leave it aside
in order that ye may succeed.
S: O you who believe! intoxicants and games of chance and (sacrificing
to) stones set up and (dividing by) arrows are only an uncleanness, the
Shaitan's work; shun it therefore that you may be successful.
005.091
Y: Satan's plan is (but) to excite enmity and hatred between you, with
intoxicants and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allah,
and from prayer: will ye not then abstain?
P: Satan seeketh only to cast among you enmity and hatred by means of
strong drink and games of chance, and to turn you from remembrance of
Allah and from (His) worship. Will ye then have done?
S: The Shaitan only desires to cause enmity and hatred to spring in your
midst by means of intoxicants and games of chance, and to keep you off
from the remembrance of Allah and from prayer. Will you then desist?
005.092
Y: Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger, and beware (of evil): if ye do
turn back, know ye that it is Our Messenger's duty to proclaim (the
message) in the clearest manner.
P: Obey Allah and obey the messenger, and beware! But if ye turn away,
then know that the duty of Our messenger is only plain conveyance (of
the message).
S: And obey Allah and obey the messenger and be cautious; but if you
turn back, then know that only a clear deliverance of the message is
(incumbent) on Our messenger.
