But if he is in hardship, then deferment until a time of ease. But to remit it as charity is better for you, if you only knew.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And if the debtor is in straitened circumstances, then (let there be) postponement to (the time of) ease; and that ye remit the debt as almsgiving would be better for you if ye did but know.

Ve şayed borçlu sıkıntıda ise o halde bir kolaylığa intizar, bununla beraber tasadduk etmeniz hakkınızda daha hayırlıdır eğer bilirseniz.

Si votre débiteur éprouve de la gêne, attendez qu’il soit plus à son aise. Si vous lui remettez sa dette, ce sera plus méritoire pour vous, si vous le savez.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Valt een schuldenaar de betaling moeilijk, wacht dan tot zij hem gemakkelijker is; schenkt gij zijn schuld hem echter, als aalmoes, des te beter voor u; indien gij het weet.

Se il vostro debitore si trova nell’angustia, aspettate che sia più agiato. Se gli condonate il debito, sara più meritorio per voi, se lo sapete.
