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.

That is why We decreed for the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul, without [its being guilty of] manslaughter or corruption on the earth, is as though he had killed all mankind, and whoever saves a life is as though he had saved all mankind. Our apostles certainly brought them manifest signs, yet even after that, many of them commit excesses on the earth.

For that cause We decreed for the Children of Israel that whosoever killeth a human being for other than manslaughter or corruption in the earth, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind, and whoso saveth the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind. Our messengers came unto them of old with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty), but afterwards lo! many of them became prodigals in the earth.

On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our messengers with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land.

Therefore We prescribed for the Children of Israel that whoso slays a soul not to retaliate for a soul slain, nor for corruption done in the land, shall be as if he had slain mankind altogether; and whoso gives life to a soul, shall be as if he ha given life to mankind altogether. Our Messengers have already come to them with the clear signs; then many of them thereafter commit excesses in the earth.

به این سبب بر بنی اسرائیل لازم و مقرّر کردیم که هر کس انسانی را جز برای حق، [قصاص] یا بدون آنکه فسادی در زمین کرده باشد، بکشد، چنان است که همه انسان ها را کشته، و هر کس انسانی را از مرگ برهاند و زنده بدارد، گویی همه انسان ها را زنده داشته است. و یقیناً پیامبران دلایل روشنی برای بنی اسرائیل آوردند، سپس بسیاری از آنان بعد از آن در روی زمین به [تجاوز از حدود حقّ و فساد و] زیاده روی برخاستند.

از این روی بر فرزندان اسرائیل مقرر داشتیم که هر کس کسی را -جز به قصاص قتل، یا [به کیفر] فسادی در زمین- بکشد، چنان است که گویی همه مردم را کشته باشد. و هر کس کسی را زنده بدارد، چنان است که گویی تمام مردم را زنده داشته است. و قطعاً پیامبران ما دلایل آشکار برای آنان آوردند، [با این همه‌] پس از آن بسیاری از ایشان در زمین زیاده‌روی می‌کنند.

Bunun için İsrailoğullarına şöyle yazdık: "Kim bir kimseyi bir kimseye veya yeryüzünde bozgunculuğa karşılık olmadan öldürürse, bütün insanları öldürmüş gibi olur. Kim de onu diriltirse (ölümden kurtarırsa) bütün insanları diriltmiş gibi olur". And olsun ki, onlara belgelerle peygamberlerimiz geldi, sonra buna rağmen, onların çoğu yeryüzünde taşkınlık edenler oldu.

Oleh karena itu Kami tetapkan (suatu hukum) bagi Bani Israil, bahwa: barangsiapa yang membunuh seorang manusia, bukan karena orang itu (membunuh) orang lain, atau bukan karena membuat kerusakan dimuka bumi, maka seakan-akan dia telah membunuh manusia seluruhnya. Dan barangsiapa yang memelihara kehidupan seorang manusia, maka seolah-olah dia telah memelihara kehidupan manusia semuanya. Dan sesungguhnya telah datang kepada mereka rasul-rasul Kami dengan (membawa) keterangan-keterangan yang jelas, kemudian banyak diantara mereka sesudah itu sungguh-sungguh melampaui batas dalam berbuat kerusakan dimuka bumi.

اسی بنا پر ہم نے بنی اسرائیل پر لکھ دیا کہ جو شخص کسی نفس کو .... کسی نفس کے بدلے یا روئے زمین میں فساد کی سزا کے علاوہ قتل کرڈالے گا اس نے گویا سارے انسانوں کو قتل کردیا اور جس نے ایک نفس کو زندگی دے دی اس نے گویا سارے انسانوں کو زندگی دے دی اور بنی اسرائیل کے پاس ہمارے رسول کھلی ہوئی نشانیاں لے کر آئے مگر اس کے بعد بھی ان میں کے اکثر لوگ زمین میں زیادتیاں کرنے والے ہی رہے

এ কারণেই আমি বনী-ইসলাঈলের প্রতি লিখে দিয়েছি যে, যে কেউ প্রাণের বিনিময়ে প্রাণ অথবাপৃথিবীতে অনর্থ সৃষ্টি করা ছাড়া কাউকে হত্যা করে সে যেন সব মানুষকেই হত্যা করে। এবং যে কারও জীবন রক্ষা করে, সে যেন সবার জীবন রক্ষা করে। তাদের কাছে আমার পয়গম্বরগণ প্রকাশ্য নিদর্শনাবলী নিয়ে এসেছেন। বস্তুতঃ এরপরও তাদের অনেক লোক পৃথিবীতে সীমাতিক্রম করে।
