فَإِذَا ٱنسَلَخَ ٱلْأَشْهُرُ ٱلْحُرُمُ فَٱقْتُلُوا۟ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ حَيْثُ وَجَدتُّمُوهُمْ وَخُذُوهُمْ وَٱحْصُرُوهُمْ وَٱقْعُدُوا۟ لَهُمْ كُلَّ مَرْصَدٍ ۚ فَإِن تَابُوا۟ وَأَقَامُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَءَاتَوُا۟ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ فَخَلُّوا۟ سَبِيلَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

Translations of Quran 9:5
EnglishTalal Itani

When the Sacred Months have passed, kill the polytheists wherever you find them. And capture them, and besiege them, and lie in wait for them at every ambush. But if they repent, and perform the prayers, and pay the alms, then let them go their way. Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

O haram olan aylar çıktımı artık o bir müşrikleri nerede bulursanız öldürün, yakalayın, habsedin ve bütün geçid başlarını tutun, eğer tevbe ederler ve namaz kılıb zekâtı verirlerse sebillerini tahliye edin, çünkü Allah gafur, rahîmdir

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Les mois sacrés expirés, tuez les idolâtres partout on vous les trouverez, faites-les prisonniers, assiégez-les et guettez-les à toute embuscade ; mais s’ils se convertissent, s’ils observent la prière, s’ils font l’aumône, alors laissez-les tranquilles, car Dieu est indulgent et miséricordieux.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

En wanneer de maanden, waarin het u niet geoorloofd is hen aan te vallen, zullen zijn verloopen, dood dan de afgodendienaars waar gij hen moogt vinden; maak hen gevangen, beleger hen en wacht hen op iedere geschikte plaats op. Maar indien zij berouw mochten betoonen, en de bepaalde tijden voor het gebed in acht nemen en de voorgeschrevene aalmoezen geven, stel hen dan in vrijheid; uw God is genadig en barmhartig.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Appena spirati i mesi sacri uccidete gl’idolatri ovunque li troverete, fateli prigionieri, assediateli, ed aspettateli in guardia ad ogni imboscata; ma se si convertiranno, se osserveranno la preghiera, se faranno l’elemosina, allora lasciateli tranquilli, poichè Dio è indulgente, e misericordioso.
