وَٱلَّذَانِ يَأْتِيَـٰنِهَا مِنكُمْ فَـَٔاذُوهُمَا ۖ فَإِن تَابَا وَأَصْلَحَا فَأَعْرِضُوا۟ عَنْهُمَآ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ تَوَّابًا رَّحِيمًا

EnglishSaheeh International
And the two who commit it [i.e., unlawful sexual intercourse] among you - punish [i.e., dishonor] them both. But if they repent and correct themselves, leave them alone. Indeed, Allāh is ever Accepting of Repentance and Merciful.

உங்களில் அதை (விபச்சாரத்தை) செய்துவிடக்கூடிய இருவருக்கும் தண்டனை கொடுங்கள்;. அவ்விருவரும் (தாம் செய்த குற்றத்தை நினைத்து வருந்தி) தவ்பா செய்து தங்களை திருத்திக் கொண்டால், அவர்களை விட்டு விடுங்கள் - நிச்சயமாக அல்லாஹ் மன்னிப்போனும் கிருபையுடையோனுமாக இருக்கின்றான்.

නුඹලා අතුරින් අශීලාචාර ක්‍රියාවක යෙදුනු දෙදෙනෙකුට නුඹලා දඬුවම් කරනු. පසුව ඔවුන් දෙදෙනා පශ්චාත්තාප වී හැඩ ගැසුනේ නම් එවිට නුඹලා ඔවුන් දෙදෙනා අත හැර දමනු. නියත වශයෙන් ම අල්ලාහ් අතික්ෂමාශීලී හා පරම කරුණාභරිත විය.

あなたがたの中2人で罪を犯した者は(2人とも)処罰しなさい。だが,その罪を悔いて身を修めるならば,そのままに放って置け。本当にアッラーは,度々御赦しなされる方,慈悲深い方であられる。

你们的男人,若作丑事,你们应当责备他们俩;如果他们俩悔罪自新,你们就应当原谅他们俩。真主确是至宥的,确是至慈的。

Tafsir of 4:16

The Adulteress is Confined in her House; A Command Later Abrogated At the begining of Islam, the ruling was that if a woman commits adultery as stipulated by sufficient proof, she was confined to her home, without leave, until she died.
