How translators rendered it

Translation · 5 editions

These translations render verse 4:20 — the whole verse this word appears in — not this word alone. The correspondence is verse-level: no word-level alignment of translations exists for these editions, so we do not claim which English word renders this Arabic word. Compare the editions →

If you wish to replace one wife with another, and you have given one of them a fortune, take nothing back from it. Would you take it back fraudulently and sinfully
Translation · Talal Itani (2012)CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
And if ye wish to exchange one wife for another and ye have given unto one of them a sum of money (however great), take nothing from it. Would ye take it by the way of calumny and open wrong
Translation · Marmaduke Pickthall (1930)Public Domain
And if ye be desirous to exchange one wife for another, and have given one of them a talent, make no deduction from it. Would ye take it by slandering her, and with manifest wrong
Translation · John Medows Rodwell (1861)Public Domain
But if ye wish to exchange one wife for another, and have given one of them a talent, then take not from it anything. What! would you take it for a calumny and a manifest crime
Translation · Edward Henry Palmer (1880)Public Domain
and if you intended the exchanging of pair place of pair and you gave their one of two heaped treasures so not you take from it thing you take a calumny and guilt clear

Generated from a table of word-by-word decisions, not written as prose. Arabic word order is preserved, so it reads stiffly and is not a substitute for a translation written by a person. Every verse is rendered, but the whole remains under review: words marked as judgement rest on weaker evidence than the rest and are flagged in place. No tafsir, hadith or existing translation was consulted.
