Saheeh International
And whoever among you cannot [find] the means to marry free, believing women, then [he may marry] from those whom your right hands possess of believing slave girls. And Allah is most knowing about your faith. You [believers] are of one another. So marry them with the permission of their people and give them their due compensation according to what is acceptable. [They should be] chaste, neither [of] those who commit unlawful intercourse randomly nor those who take [secret] lovers. But once they are sheltered in marriage, if they should commit adultery, then for them is half the punishment for free [unmarried] women. This [allowance] is for him among you who fears sin, but to be patient is better for you. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
Ali Quli Qarai
As for those of you who cannot afford to marry faithful free women, then [let them marry] from what you own, from among your faithful slave-women. Your faith is best known [only] to Allah; you are all [on a] similar [footing]. So marry them with their masters’ permission, and give them their dowries in an honourable manner—[such of them] as are chaste women, not licentious ones or those who take paramours. But should they commit an indecent act on marrying, there shall be for them [only] half the punishment for free women. This is for those of you who fear falling into fornication; but it is better that you be continent, and Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful.
Marmaduke Pickthall
And whoso is not able to afford to marry free, believing women, let them marry from the believing maids whom your right hands possess. Allah knoweth best (concerning) your faith. Ye (proceed) one from another; so wed them by permission of their folk, and give unto them their portions in kindness, they being honest, not debauched nor of loose conduct. And if when they are honourably married they commit lewdness they shall incur the half of the punishment (prescribed) for free women (in that case). This is for him among you who feareth to commit sin. But to have patience would be better for you. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
Abdullah Yusuf Ali
If any of you have not the means wherewith to wed free believing women, they may wed believing girls from among those whom your right hands possess: And Allah hath full knowledge about your faith. Ye are one from another: Wed them with the leave of their owners, and give them their dowers, according to what is reasonable: They should be chaste, not lustful, nor taking paramours: when they are taken in wedlock, if they fall into shame, their punishment is half that for free women. This (permission) is for those among you who fear sin; but it is better for you that ye practise self-restraint. And Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
A. J. Arberry
Any one of you who has not the affluence to be able to marry believing freewomen in wedlock, let him take believing handmaids that your right hands own; God knows very well your faith; the one of you is as the other. So marry them, with their people's leave, and give them their wages honourably as women in wedlock, not as in licence or taking lovers. But when they are in wedlock, if they commit indecency, they shall be liable to half the chastisement of freewomen. That provision is for those of you who fear fornication; yet it is better for you to be patient. God is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.

انصاریان (Ansarian)
و از شما کسی که به سبب تنگدستی نتواند با زنان آزاد مؤمن ازدواج کند، با کنیزان جوان با ایمانتان [ازدواج کنید و اظهار ایمان از سوی کنیزان در جواز ازدواج با آنان کافی است]. و خدا به ایمان شما [که کدام ظاهری و کدام حقیقی و واقعی است] داناتر است. [آزاد و کنیز در اصل و نسب و در رابطه ایمانی] از یکدیگر، [و اعضای یک پیکرید]، پس با کنیزان با اجازه صاحبانشان ازدواج کنید، و مهریه آنان را به طور شایسته و پسندیده به خودشان بپردازید. [جواز این ازدواج مشروط به آن است که کنیزان] پاکدامن باشند نه زناکار و نه گیرندگان دوست پنهانی. پس هنگامی که به ازدواج درآمدند، اگر مرتکب کار زشت شوند، بر آنان نصف مجازاتی است که بر زنان آزاد است. این [جواز ازدواج با کنیز] برای کسی از شماست که از مشقت [غریزه جنسی و دچار شدن به زنا] بترسد، و شکیبایی کردن برای شما بهتر است؛ و خدا بسیار آمرزنده و مهربان است.
فولادوند (Fooladvand)
و هر کس از شما، از نظر مالی نمیتواند زنان [آزاد] پاکدامن با ایمان را به همسری [خود] درآورد، پس با دختران جوانسال با ایمان شما که مالک آنان هستید [ازدواج کند]؛ و خدا به ایمان شما داناتر است. [همه] از یکدیگرید. پس آنان را با اجازه خانوادهشان به همسری [خود] درآورید و مَهرشان را به طور پسندیده به آنان بدهید [به شرط آنکه] پاکدامن باشند نه زناکار، و دوستگیران پنهانی نباشند. پس چون به ازدواج [شما] درآمدند، اگر مرتکب فحشا شدند، پس بر آنان نیمی از عذاب [=مجازات] زنان آزاد است. این [پیشنهاد زناشویی با کنیزان] برای کسی از شماست که از آلایش گناه بیم دارد؛ و صبر کردن، برای شما بهتر است، و خداوند آمرزنده مهربان است.

Sizden, hür mümin kadınlarla evlenmeye güç yetiremiyen kimse, ellerinizdeki mümin cariyelerinizden alsın. Allah sizin imanınızı çok iyi bilir. Birbirinizdensiniz, aynı soydansınız. Onlarla, zinadan kaçınmaları, iffetli olmaları ve gizli dost tutmamış olmaları halinde, velilerinin izniyle evlenin ve örfe uygun bir şekilde mehirlerini verin. Evlendiklerinde zina edecek olurlarsa, onlara, hür kadınlara edilen azabın yarısı edilir. Cariye ile evlenmedeki bu izin içinizden, günaha girme korkusu olanlaradır. Sabretmeniz sizin için daha hayırlıdır. Allah bağışlar ve merhamet eder.

Kementerian Agama
Dan barangsiapa diantara kamu (orang merdeka) yang tidak cukup perbelanjaannya untuk mengawini wanita merdeka lagi beriman, ia boleh mengawini wanita yang beriman, dari budak-budak yang kamu miliki. Allah mengetahui keimananmu; sebahagian kamu adalah dari sebahagian yang lain, karena itu kawinilah mereka dengan seizin tuan mereka, dan berilah maskawin mereka menurut yang patut, sedang merekapun wanita-wanita yang memelihara diri, bukan pezina dan bukan (pula) wanita yang mengambil laki-laki lain sebagai piaraannya; dan apabila mereka telah menjaga diri dengan kawin, kemudian mereka melakukan perbuatan yang keji (zina), maka atas mereka separo hukuman dari hukuman wanita-wanita merdeka yang bersuami. (Kebolehan mengawini budak) itu, adalah bagi orang-orang yang takut kepada kemasyakatan menjaga diri (dari perbuatan zina) di antara kamu, dan kesabaran itu lebih baik bagimu. Dan Allah Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Penyayang.

علامہ جوادی (Jawadi)
اور جس کے پاس اس قدر مالی وسعت نہیں ہے کہ مومن آزاد عورتوں سے نکاح کرے تو وہ مومنہ کنیز عورت سے عقد کرلے- خدا تمہارے ایمان سے باخبر ہے تم سب ایک دوسرے سے ہو- ان کنیزوں سے ان کے اہل کی اجازت سے عقد کرو اور انہیں ان کی مناسب اجرت(مہر) دے دو- ان کنیزوں سے عقد کرو جو عفیفہ اور پاک دامن ہوں نہ کہ کھّلم کھلاّ زنا کار ہوں اور نہ چوری چھاَپے دوستی کرنے والی ہوں پھر جب عقد میں آگئیں تو اگر زنا کرائیں تو ان کے لئے آزاد عورتوں کے نصف کے برابر سزا ہے- یہ کنیزوں سے عقد ان کے لئے ہے جو بے صبری کا خطرہ رکھتے ہوں ورنہ صبر کرو تو تمہارے حق میں بہتر ہے اور اللہ غفور و رحیم ہے

মুহিউদ্দীন খান (Muhiuddin Khan)
আর তোমাদের মধ্যে যে ব্যক্তি স্বাধীন মুসলমান নারীকে বিয়ে করার সামর্থ্য রাখে না, সে তোমাদের অধিকারভুক্ত মুসলিম ক্রীতদাসীদেরকে বিয়ে করবে। আল্লাহ তোমাদের ঈমান সম্পর্কে ভালোভাবে জ্ঞাত রয়েছেন। তোমরা পরস্পর এক, অতএব, তাদেরকে তাদের মালিকের অনুমতিক্রমে বিয়ে কর এবং নিয়ম অনুযায়ী তাদেরকে মোহরানা প্রদান কর এমতাবস্থায় যে, তারা বিবাহ বন্ধনে আবদ্ধ হবে-ব্যভিচারিণী কিংবা উপ-পতি গ্রহণকারিণী হবে না। অতঃপর যখন তারা বিবাহ বন্ধনে এসে যায়, তখন যদি কোন অশ্লীল কাজ করে, তবে তাদেরকে স্বাধীন নারীদের অর্ধেক শাস্তি ভোগ করতে হবে। এ ব্যবস্থা তাদের জন্যে, তোমাদের মধ্যে যারা ব্যভিচারে লিপ্ত হওয়ার ব্যাপারে ভয় করে। আর যদি সবর কর, তবে তা তোমাদের জন্যে উত্তম। আল্লাহ ক্ষমাশীল, করুণাময়।
