EnglishTalal Itani

And give orphans their properties, and do not substitute the bad for the good. And do not consume their properties by combining them with yours, for that would be a serious sin.

Give unto orphans their wealth. Exchange not the good for the bad (in your management thereof) nor absorb their wealth into your own wealth. Lo! that would be a great sin.

Allah’dan korkun da yetimlere mallarını verin ve temizi murdara (halâli harama) değişmeyin, onların mallarını kenid mallarınıza katıp yemeyin çünkü o büyük bir vebal bulunuyor.

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Restituez aux orphelins majeurs leurs biens ; ne substituez pas le mauvais (de vos biens) au bon (qui leur appartenait). Ne consumez pas leur héritage en le confondant avec le vôtre ; c’est un crime énorme.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Geeft de weezen hun vermogen (als zij meerderjarig zijn geworden), en geeft hun geen slecht voor goed. Verteer hun vermogen niet, door het bij het uwe te voegen; want dit is eene groote zonde.

Restituite agli orfani i loro beni; non sostituite il cattivo al buono. Non consumate la loro eredità confondendola colla vostra; è un delitto enorme.
