مِنْ From أَجْلِ time ذَٰلِكَ that كَتَبْنَا We ordained عَلَىٰ on بَنِىٓ (the) Children إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ (of) Israel أَنَّهُۥ that he مَن who قَتَلَ kills نَفْسًۢا a soul بِغَيْرِ other than نَفْسٍ (for) a soul أَوْ or فَسَادٍۢ (for) spreading corruption فِى in ٱلْأَرْضِ the earth فَكَأَنَّمَا then (it) is as if قَتَلَ he has killed ٱلنَّاسَ mankind جَمِيعًۭا all وَمَنْ and whoever أَحْيَاهَا saves it فَكَأَنَّمَآ then (it) is as if أَحْيَا he has saved ٱلنَّاسَ mankind جَمِيعًۭا ۚ all وَلَقَدْ And surely جَآءَتْهُمْ came to them رُسُلُنَا Our Messengers بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ with clear Signs ثُمَّ yet إِنَّ indeed كَثِيرًۭا many مِّنْهُم of them بَعْدَ after ذَٰلِكَ that فِى in ٱلْأَرْضِ the earth لَمُسْرِفُونَ (are) surely those who commit excesses ٣٢

Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And Our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors.

إِنَّمَا Only جَزَٰٓؤُا۟ (the) recompense ٱلَّذِينَ (for) those who يُحَارِبُونَ wage war ٱللَّهَ (against) Allah وَرَسُولَهُۥ and His Messenger وَيَسْعَوْنَ and strive فِى in ٱلْأَرْضِ the earth فَسَادًا spreading corruption أَن (is) that يُقَتَّلُوٓا۟ they be killed أَوْ or يُصَلَّبُوٓا۟ they be crucified أَوْ or تُقَطَّعَ be cut off أَيْدِيهِمْ their hands وَأَرْجُلُهُم and their feet مِّنْ of خِلَـٰفٍ opposite sides أَوْ or يُنفَوْا۟ they be exiled مِنَ from ٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ the land ذَٰلِكَ That لَهُمْ (is) for them خِزْىٌۭ disgrace فِى in ٱلدُّنْيَا ۖ the world وَلَهُمْ and for them فِى in ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ the Hereafter عَذَابٌ (is) a punishment عَظِيمٌ great ٣٣

Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allāh and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment,

إِلَّا Except ٱلَّذِينَ those who تَابُوا۟ repent مِن from قَبْلِ before أَن that تَقْدِرُوا۟ you overpower عَلَيْهِمْ ۖ [over] them فَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ then know أَنَّ that ٱللَّهَ Allah غَفُورٌۭ (is) Oft-Forgiving رَّحِيمٌۭ Most Merciful ٣٤

Except for those who return [repenting] before you overcome [i.e., apprehend] them. And know that Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

O you who have believed, fear Allāh and seek the means [of nearness] to Him and strive in His cause that you may succeed.

إِنَّ Indeed ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieve لَوْ if أَنَّ that لَهُم for them مَّا (is) what فِى (is) in ٱلْأَرْضِ the earth جَمِيعًۭا all وَمِثْلَهُۥ and the like of it مَعَهُۥ with it لِيَفْتَدُوا۟ to ransom themselves بِهِۦ with it مِنْ from عَذَابِ (the) punishment يَوْمِ (of the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ (of) the Resurrection مَا not تُقُبِّلَ will be accepted مِنْهُمْ ۖ from them وَلَهُمْ and for them عَذَابٌ (is) a punishment أَلِيمٌۭ painful ٣٦

Indeed, those who disbelieve - if they should have all that is in the earth and the like of it with it by which to ransom themselves from the punishment of the Day of Resurrection, it will not be accepted from them, and for them is a painful punishment.
