But whoever cannot find the means must fast for two consecutive months before they may touch one another. And if he is unable, then the feeding of sixty needy people. This, in order that you affirm your faith in Allah and His Messenger. These are the ordinances of Allah. The unbelievers will have a painful punishment.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And he who findeth not (the wherewithal), let him fast for two successive months before they touch one another; and for him who is unable to do so (the penance is) the feeding of sixty needy ones. This, that ye may put trust in Allah and His Messenger. Such are the limits (imposed by Allah); and for disbelievers is a painful doom.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Ona gücü yetmiyen de ikisi temass etmezden evvel sırasiyle iki ay oruc tutsun, ona da güç yetiremiyen altmış yoksul doyursun, bunlar Allah ve Resulüne iyman edesiniz diyedir ve bunlar Allahın çizdiği hududdur, kâfirler için ise elîm bir azâb vardır

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Celui qui ne trouvera point de captif à racheter, jeûnera deux mois de suite avant qu’il y ait cohabitation entre les deux époux divorcés, et s’il ne peut supporter ce jeûne, il nourrira soixante pauvres. On vous le commande, afin que vous croyiez en Dieu et à son envoyé. Ce sont les commandements de Dieu. Un supplice douloureux est réservé aux infidèles.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

En hij die geen slaaf vindt, om dien eed los te koopen, zal een vasten van twee achtereenvolgende maanden houden, alvorens zij elkander aanraken. En hij die niet in staat zal zijn dien tijd te vasten, zal zestig arme lieden voeden. Dit is u bevolen, opdat gij God en zijn gezant zoudt gelooven. Dit zijn de bevelen van God. Voor de ongeloovigen is eene pijnlijke marteling gereed gemaakt.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Chi non troverà uno schiavo a ricomperare, digiunerà per due mesi di seguito senza avvicinare la moglie, e se non potrà sopportare questo digiuno, dovrà nudrire sessanta poveri. Vi si commanda così affinchè crediate in Dio, ed al suo apostolo. Questi sono i comandamenti di Dio. Un supplizio doloroso è serbato agl’infedeli.
