Imam Iskender Ali Mihr

And do not marry women whom your fathers married, except what has already passed; this surely is indecent and hateful and it is an evil way.

Abdul Majid Daryabadi

And wed not of women those whom your fathers had wedded, except that which hath already passed. Verily it hath been an indecency and an abomination and an evil way:

Ali Quli Qarai

Do not marry any of the women whom your fathers had married, excluding what is already past. That is indeed an indecency, an outrage and an evil course.

Ali Unal

And do not marry the women whom your fathers married – except what has happened (of that sort) in the past (before your conversion: such occurrences are forgivable provided you rectify your conduct and terminate any such contract of marriage). This was indeed a shameful deed and hateful thing, and how evil a way!

Ahmed Ali

And do not wed the women your fathers had wed. What happened in the past is now past: It was lewd and abhorrent, and only the way of evil.

And do not marry the women who were wedded to your fathers (and grand fathers), except what has already passed; that is indeed an act of shame and great wrong; and an evil way.

Amatul Rahman Omar

And marry not those women whom your fathers had married, except what had already passed (- you shall not be called to account for what you did in the past, only you have to divorce them now); for it is a thing highly indecent and repugnant and an evil practice.

Arthur John Arberry

And do not marry women that your fathers married, unless it be a thing of the past; surely that is indecent and hateful; an evil way.

Hamid Aziz

And all married women (are forbidden unto you), save such as your right hands possess (captives of war) - It is a decree of Allah for you. But lawful for you are all beyond these. So seek them with your wealth in honest marriage and not lust. But such of them from whom you seek comfort, give them their portions as a duty; and there is no crime in what you do by mutual agreement after the duty has been done. Verily, Allah is ever Knower and Wise.

Hilali & Khan

And marry not women whom your fathers married, except what has already passed; indeed it was shameful and most hateful, and an evil way.

And how can you take it when one of you has already gone in to the other and they have taken from you a strong covenant?

And marry not woman whom your fathers married, except what has already passed; this surely is indecent and hateful, and it is an evil way.
