If it transpires they have concealed the truth, two of those who are immediately concerned should take their place and swear by God Our testimony is truer than theirs. We have stated no more (than the truth), or else we shall be unjust

Then if it is later known that both of them committed sin, two others may take their place, from those who were caused the most harm by the false testimony, and they must swear by Allah that, Our testimony is more accurate than the testimony of these two, and we have not exceeded the limits if we do, then surely we shall be of the unjust.

But if it be discovered that both of them have merited the accusation of any sin, then two others shall stand in their place, these being the nearest of those most concerned, and they shall swear by God, 'Our testimony is truer than their testimony, and we have not transgressed, for then we would assuredly be among the evildoers.'

If then it be lit upon that the twain had been guilty of a sin, then two othershall take their place from among those who were sinned against, the two nearest of kin, and they shall swear by Allah affirming our testimony is worthier of credit than their testimony and we have not trespassed, for then verily we shall be of the wrong doers.

If then it gets known that these two had been guilty of sin, let two others stand forth in their places, nearest in kin from among those who claim a lawful right. Let them swear by Allah (saying) We affirm that our testimony is truer than that of both of them, and that we have not trespassed (the truth), for then indeed we should be of the wrong doers.

If it is discovered that they are guilty of perjury let two others take their place, two from among those responsible for the claim, and have them swear by God, Our testimony is more truthful than their testimony, and we will not be biased, for then we would be wrongdoers.

Then if it is discovered later that the two are guilty of such sin, then two others shall stand in their place from among those against whom the two had sinfully deposed, and swear by Allah 'Our testimony is truer than the testimony of the other two, and we have not transgressed in our statement for then indeed we would become wrong doers.'

But then, if it is afterwards ascertained that both of them merit (the suspicion of) sin, let two others take their place of those nearly concerned, and let them swear by Allah, (saying) Verily our testimony is truer than their testimony and we have not transgressed (the bounds of duty), for them indeed we should be of the evil doers.

But if it is found that both of them were guilty of a sin, then two others shall stand up in their place from among those nearest in kinship to the claimants and swear by Allah Our testimony is surely truer than their testimony, and we have not transgressed, for then we would indeed be among the wrongdoers.

But if it is discovered that both of them have been subject to sinning, then two others shall stand in their place, these being the nearest of those most concerned, and they shall swear by Allah 'Our testimony is truer than their testimony, and we have not transgressed, because then we would surely be among the harmdoers'

But if it is found that those two were guilty of perjury, let two others stand in their place who are foremost in claim from those who have a lawful right. And let them swear by Allah, Our testimony is truer than their testimony, and we have not transgressed. Indeed, we would then be of the wrongdoers.

If their honesty is challenged, two others from the relatives of the deceased should swear in the same way and testify to the bequest saying, We swear by God that our testimony is the true one. We do not transgress in the matter lest we become unjust ones.

Then if it becomes known that they both have been guilty of a sin, two others shall stand up in their place from among those who have a claim against them, the two nearest in kin so they two should swear by Allah Certainly our testimony is truer than the testimony of those two, and we have not exceeded the limit, for then most surely we should be of the unjust.

If it turns out that both prove dishonest, two others should take their place from amongst those whose rights have been usurped and let them swear by God, saying, Our testimony is indeed truer than the testimony of these two. And we have not been guilty of any misstatement for then indeed we would be transgressors.

But if it gets known that these two were guilty of the sin (of perjury), let two others stand forth in their places, nearest in kin from among those who claim a lawful right let them swear by Allah We affirm that our witness is truer than that of those two, and that we have not trespassed (beyond the truth) if we did, behold! the wrong be upon us!
