9:5
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

Translation
But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, an seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain
When the [four] forbidden months are over, wherever you encounter the idolaters, kill them, seize them, besiege them, wait for them at every lookout post; but if they turn [to God], maintain the prayer, and pay the prescribed alms, let them go on their way, for God is most forgiving and merciful.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleemall-rights-reserved
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.
M. Pickthallpublic-domain
And when the inviolable months have passed, then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakāh, let them [go] on their way. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

Hürmetli aylar çıkınca, puta tapanları bulduğunuz yerde öldürün; onları yakalayıp hapsedin; her gözetleme yerinde onları bekleyin. Eğer tevbe eder, namaz kılar ve zekat verirlerse yollarını serbest bırakın. Doğrusu Allah bağışlar ve merhamet eder.

Şu haram aylar bir çıktı mı artık o müşrikleri nerede bulursanız öldürün, yakalayın, hapsedin ve bütün geçit başlarını tutun. Eğer tevbe ederler ve namaz kılıp zekatı verirlerse onları serbest bırakın. Muhakkak ki, Allah çok bağışlayandır, çok merhamet edendir.

Haram aylar çıkınca (antlaşmayı bozan) o müşrikleri bulduğunuz yerde öldürün; onları yakalayın; onları hapsedin ve onları her gözetleme yerinde oturup bekleyin! Tevbe eder, namazı kılar, zekâtı da verirlerse artık yollarını (açıp) serbest bırakın! Allah çok bağışlayandır, çok merhametlidir.

فإذا انقضت الأشهر الأربعة التي أمَّنتم فيها المشركين، فأعلنوا الحرب على أعداء الله حيث كانوا، واقصدوهم بالحصار في معاقلهم، وترصدوا لهم في طرقهم، فإن رجعوا عن كفرهم ودخلوا الإسلام والتزموا شرائعه من إقام الصلاة وإخراج الزكاة، فاتركوهم، فقد أصبحوا إخوانكم في الإسلام، إن الله غفور لمن تاب وأناب، رحيم بهم.
