Translations of Quran 58:3
EnglishTalal Itani

Those who estrange their wives by equating them with their mothers, then go back on what they said, must set free a slave before they may touch one another. To this you are exhorted, and Allah is well aware of what you do.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

Those who put away their wives (by saying they are as their mothers) and afterward would go back on that which they have said, (the penalty) in that case (is) the freeing of a slave before they touch one another. Unto this ye are exhorted; and Allah is Informed of what ye do.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Ve öyle kadınlarından zıhar ile ayrılmağa kalkıp da sonra dediklerini geri alacak olanlar onun için ikisi temass etmezden evvel bir kul âzad etmek lâzımdır, bunu duydunuz'a işte siz bununla öğütlenirsiniz, ve Allah her ne yaparsanız haberdardır

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Ceux qui répudient leurs femmes avec la formule de séparation perpétuelle et reviennent ensuite sur leur parole, affranchiront un esclave avant qu’il y ait une nouvelle cohabitation entre les deux époux divorcés. C’est ainsi qu’on vous le prescrit, et Dieu est Instruit de ce que vous faites.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Zij die van hunne vrouwen scheiden, met de verklaring, dat zij haar in de toekomst als hunne moeders zullen beschouwen, en daarna terugnemen willen wat zij hebben gezegd, zullen genoodzaakt zijn een slaaf te bevrijden, alvorens zij elkander zullen mogen aanraken. Dit wordt u gewaarschuwd in acht te nemen, en God is wel onderricht van hetgeen gij doet.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Quei che ripudiano le loro mogli colla formula di separazione perpetua, e poi si ricredono, renderanno franco uno schiavo prima di toccare la donna (ripudiata). Così vi si ordina, e Dio è informato di ciò che voi fate.
