M.Pickthall
151. Say: Come, I will recite unto you that which your Lord hath made a sacred duty
for you: that ye ascribe no thing as partner unto Him and that ye do good to parents,
and that ye slay not your children because of penury. We provide for you and for them
and that ye draw not nigh to lewd things whether open or concealed. And that ye slay
not the life which Allah hath made sacred, save in the course of justice. This He hath
commanded you, in order that ye may discern.
Yusuf Ali
151. Say: "Come I will rehearse what Allah hath (really) prohibited you from": join
not anything as equal with Him; be good to your parents: kill not your children on a
plea of want; We provide sustenance for you and for them; come not nigh to shameful
deeds whether open or secret; take not life which Allah hath made sacred except by way
of justice and law: thus doth He command you that ye may learn wisdom.
M.Pickthall
152. And approach not the wealth of the orphan save with that which is better; till
he reach maturity. Give full measure and full weight, in justice. We task not any
soul beyond its scope. And if ye give your word, do justice thereunto, even though
it be (against) a kinsman; and fulfil the covenant of Allah. This He commandeth you
that haply ye may remember.
Yusuf Ali
152. And come not nigh to the orphan's property except to improve it until he attain
the age of full strength; give measure and weight with (full) justice; no burden do
We place on any soul but that which it can bear; whenever ye speak speak justly even
if a near relative is concerned; and fulfil the Covenant of Allah: thus doth He command
you that ye may remember.
M.Pickthall
153. And (He commandeth you, saying) : This is My straight path, so follow it Follow
not other ways, lest ye be parted from His way: This hath He ordained for you, that
ye may ward off (evil).
Yusuf Ali
153. Verily this is My Way leading straight: follow it: follow not (other) paths: they
will scatter you about from His (great) path: thus doth He command you that ye may
be righteous.
