Translations of Quran 24:2
EnglishTalal Itani

The adulteress and the adulterer—whip each one of them a hundred lashes, and let no pity towards them overcome you regarding Allah’s law, if you believe in Allah and the Last Day. And let a group of believers witness their punishment.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

The adulterer and the adulteress, scourge ye each one of them (with) a hundred stripes. And let not pity for the twain withhold you from obedience to Allah, if ye believe in Allah and the Last Day. And let a party of believers witness their punishment.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Zaniye ve zanî, hemen bunlardan her birine yüz değnek vurun, Allahın dininde bunlara bir acıyacağız tutmasın, Allaha ve Âhıret gününe gerçekten inanıyorsanız, hem mü'minlerden bir taife azâblarına şâhid olsun

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Vous infligerez à l’homme et à la femme adultères cent coups de fouet à chacun. Que la compassion ne vous entrave pas dans l’accomplissement de ce précepte de Dieu, si vous croyez en Dieu et au jour dernier. Que le supplice ait lieu en présence d’un certain nombre de croyants.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Den overspeler en de overspelige zult gij elk honderd zweepslagen geven. En laat geen medelijden nopens hen u terughouden, Gods oordeel te volvoeren, indien gij in God en den laatsten dag gelooft; en laat sommigen der ware geloovigen getuigen hunner straf zijn.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Infligerete all’uomo, ed alla donna adulteri cento colpi di frusta a cadanno. Non v’arresti la compassione nell’adempimento di questo precetto di Dio, se credete in lui, ed al giorno ultimo. Che il supplizio abbia luogo in presenza d’un certo numero di credenti.
