Do not marry women that your fathers married- with the exception of what is past- this is indeed a shameful thing to do, loathsome and leading to evil.

Babalarınızın evlendikleri kadınlarla evlenmeyin, geçmişte olanlar artık geçmiştir çünkü bu bir fuhuş ve igrenç bir şeydi, ne kötü yoldu!

Diyanet İşleriall-rights-reserved

Cahiliye devrinde geçenler müstesna, babalarınızın nikahladığı kadınlarla evlenmeyiniz. Şüphe yok ki o, pek çirkindi, iğrenç idi, o ne fena bir âdetti.

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain

Geçmişte olanlar hariç, (bundan sonra) babalarınızın evlendiği kadınlarla evlenmeyin! Şüphesiz ki bu bir çirkinliktir; öfke (sebebi)dir ve çok kötü bir yoldur.

ولا تتزوجوا مَن تزوجه آباؤكم من النساء إلا ما قد سلف منكم ومضى في الجاهلية فلا مؤاخذة فيه. إن زواج الأبناء من زوجات آبائهم أمر قبيح يفحش ويعظم قبحه، وبغيض يمقت الله فاعله، وبئس طريقًا ومنهجًا ما كنتم تفعلونه في جاهليتكم.
