And those who launch a charge against chaste women, and produce not four witnesses (to support their allegations),- flog them with eighty stripes; and reject their evidence ever after: for such men are wicked transgressors;-

And for those who launch a charge against their spouses, and have (in support) no evidence but their own,- their solitary evidence (can be received) if they bear witness four times (with an oath) by Allah that they are solemnly telling the truth;

Those who slander chaste women, indiscreet but believing, are cursed in this life and in the Hereafter: for them is a grievous Penalty,-

凡告发贞节的妇女，而不能举出四个男子为见证者， 你们应当把每个人打八十鞭，并且永远不可接受他们的见证。这等人是罪人。

凡告发自己的妻子，除本人外别无见证，他的证据是指真主发誓四次， 证明他确是说实话的，

凡告发贞节的而且天真烂漫的信女的人，在今世和后世，必遭诅咒， 他们将受重大的刑罚。
