Yusuf Ali
Nor take life - which Allah has made sacred - except for just cause. And if anyone is slain wrongfully, we have given his heir authority (to demand qisas or to forgive): but let him not exceed bounds in the matter of taking life; for he is helped (by the Law).

Sahih International
And do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden, except by right. And whoever is killed unjustly - We have given his heir authority, but let him not exceed limits in [the matter of] taking life. Indeed, he has been supported [by the law].

Shakir
And do not kill any one whom Allah has forbidden, except for a just cause, and whoever is slain unjustly, We have indeed given to his heir authority, so let him not exceed the just limits in slaying; surely he is aided.

Pickthall
And slay not the life which Allah hath forbidden save with right. Whoso is slain wrongfully, We have given power unto his heir, but let him not commit excess in slaying. Lo! he will be helped.

محمد جالندھری
اور جس کا جاندار کا مارنا خدا نے حرام کیا ہے اسے قتل نہ کرنا مگر جائز طور پر (یعنی بفتویٰ شریعت)۔ اور جو شخص ظلم سے قتل کیا جائے ہم نے اس کے وارث کو اختیار دیا ہے (کہ ظالم قاتل سے بدلہ لے) تو اس کو چاہیئے کہ قتل (کے قصاص) میں زیادتی نہ کرے کہ وہ منصورو فتحیاب ہے
