Translation

EN

Let those (disposing of an estate) have the same fear in their minds as they would have for their own if they had left a helpless family behind: Let them fear Allah, and speak words of appropriate (comfort).

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

Let those who would fear for the future of their own helpless children, if they were to die, show the same concern [for orphans]; let them be mindful of God and speak out for justice.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleemall-rights-reserved

And let those fear (in their behaviour toward orphans) who if they left behind them weak offspring would be afraid for them. So let them mind their duty to Allah, and speak justly.

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

And let those [executors and guardians] fear [injustice] as if they [themselves] had left weak offspring behind and feared for them. So let them fear Allāh and speak words of appropriate justice.

Arkalarında cılız çocuklar bıraktıkları takdirde, bundan endişe edecek olanlar, haksızlık yapmaktan korksunlar; dürüst söz söylesinler.

Diyanet İşleriall-rights-reserved

Kendileri, geriye zayıf çocuklar bıraktıkları takdirde, onların geleceğinden endişe duyacak olanlar, (yetimler hakkında da aynı) endişeyi duysunlar, Allah'dan sakınsınlar ve doğru söz söylesinler.

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain

Geriye gücü yetmez nesiller bıraktıkları takdirde (hâlleri ne olur) diye endişe edenler, (yetimlere haksızlık etmekten de) korkup titresinler! Allah’a karşı takvâlı (duyarlı) olsunlar ve doğru söz söylesinler!

AR

ولْيَخَفِ الذين لو ماتوا وتركوا من خلفهم أبناء صغارًا ضعافًا خافوا عليهم الظلم والضياع، فليراقبوا الله فيمن تحت أيديهم من اليتامى وغيرهم، وذلك بحفظ أموالهم، وحسن تربيتهم، ودَفْع الأذى عنهم، وليقولوا لهم قولا موافقا للعدل والمعروف.
