EnglishSaheeh International
And you will never be able to be equal [in feeling] between wives, even if you should strive [to do so]. So do not incline completely [toward one] and leave another hanging. And if you amend [your affairs] and fear Allāh - then indeed, Allāh is ever Forgiving and Merciful.

(முஃமின்களே!) நீங்கள் எவ்வளவுதான் விரும்பினாலும், மனைவியரிடையே நீங்கள் நீதம் செலுத்த சாத்தியமாகாது. ஆனால் (ஒரே மனைவியின் பக்கம்) முற்றிலும் சாய்ந்து மற்றவளை அந்தரத்தில் தொங்க விடப்பட்டவள் போன்று ஆக்கிவிடாதீர்கள்;. நீங்கள் (அல்லாஹ்வுக்குப்) பயந்து சமாதானமாக நடந்து கொள்வீர்களானால், நிச்சயமாக அல்லாஹ் மிகவும் மன்னிப்பவனாகவும், மிக்க கருணையுடையவனாகவும் இருக்கின்றான்.

තවද නුඹලා ආශා කළ ද බිරියන් අතර සාධාරණව කටයුතු කිරීමට නුඹලා ශක්තිය නො දරන්නෙහු ම ය. එබැවින් (එක් බිරියක් වෙත පමණක්) පූර්ණ නැඹුරුවකින් නැඹුරු වී (අනෙක් බිරිය වන) ඇයව (වැන්දඹුවක් ද අඹුවක් ද යන සැකයෙන්) එල්ලෙන්නියක් මෙන් අත හැර නො දමනු. නුඹලා සමතයට පත් වී බිය බැතිමත් වූයේ නම් එවිට සැබැවින් ම අල්ලාහ් අතික්ෂමාශීලී ය; අසමසම කරුණාන්විත ය.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
تم سے یہ تو کبھی نہ ہو سکے گا کہ اپنی تمام بیویوں میں ہر طرح عدل کرو، گو تم اس کی کتنی ہی خواہش وکوشش کر لو، اس لئے بالکل ہی ایک کی طرف مائل ہو کر دوسری کو ادھڑ لٹکتی ہوئی نہ چھوڑو اور اگر تم اصلاح کرو اور تقویٰ اختیار کرو تو، بے شک اللہ تعالیٰ بڑی مغفرت اور رحمت واﻻ ہے۔

あなたがたは妻たちに対して公平にしようとしても,到底出来ないであろう。あなたがたは(そう)望んでも。偏愛に傾き,妻の一人をあいまいに放って置いてはならない。あなたがたが融和し,主を畏れるのならば。誠にアッラーは,度々赦される御方,慈悲深い御方であられる。
ChineseMa Jian
即使你们贪爱公平,你们也绝不能公平地待遇众妻; 但你们不要完全偏向所爱的,而使被疏远的,如悬空中。如果你们加以和解,而且防备虐待,那末,真主确是至赦的,确是至慈的。

Tafsir of 4:129

The Ruling Concerning Desertion on the Part of the Husband Allah states, and thus legislates accordingly, that sometimes, the man inclines away from his wife, sometimes towards her and sometimes he parts with her. In the first case, when the wife fears that her husband is steering away from her or deserting her, she is allowed to forfeit all or part of her rights, such as provisions, clothing, dwelling, and so forth, and the husband is allowed to accept such concessions from her. Hence, there is no harm if she offers such concessions, and if her husband accepts them. This is why Allah said, فَلاَ جُنَاْحَ عَلَيْهِمَآ أَن يُصْلِحَا بَيْنَهُمَا صُلْحاً (there is no sin on them both if they make terms of peace between themselves;) He then said, وَالصُّلْحُ خَيْرٌ (and making peace is better) than divorce. Allah's statement, وَأُحْضِرَتِ الأنفُسُ الشُّحَّ (And human souls are swayed by greed.) means, coming to peaceful terms, even when it involves forfeiting some rights, is better than parting.…
