EnglishSaheeh International
And the retribution for an evil act is an evil one like it, but whoever pardons and makes reconciliation - his reward is [due] from Allāh. Indeed, He does not like wrongdoers.

இன்னும் தீமைக்கும் கூலி அதைப் போன்ற தீமையே யாகும்; ஆனால், எவர் (அதனை) மன்னித்துச் சமாதானம் செய்கிறாரோ அவருக்குரிய நற்கூலி அல்லாஹ்விடம் இருக்கிறது - நிச்சயமாக அவன் அநியாயம் செய்பவர்களை நேசிக்க மாட்டான்.

තවද නපුරට ප්‍රතිවිපාකය ඒ හා සමාන නපුරකි. එහෙයින් කවරෙකු සමාව දී සමාදානව කටයුතු කළේ ද එවිට ඔහුගේ ප්‍රතිඵලය අල්ලාහ් මත ය. නියත වශයෙන් ම ඔහු අපරාධකරුවන් ප්‍රිය නො කරයි.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
اور برائی کا بدلہ اسی جیسی برائی ہے ، اور جو معاف کر دے اور اصلاح کرلے اس کا اجر اللہ کے ذمے ہے، (فی الواقع) اللہ تعالیٰ ﻇالموں سے محبت نہیں کرتا.
JapaneseRyoichi Mita
悪に対する報いは,それと同様の悪である。だが寛容して和解する者に対して,アッラーは報酬を下さる。本当にかれは悪い行いの者を御好みになられない。
ChineseMa Jian
恶行应得同样的恶报。谁愿恕饶而且和解,真主必报酬谁。真主确是不喜爱不义者的。

Tafsir of 42:40

Forgiving or exacting Revenge on Wrongdoers وَجَزَآءُ سَيِّئَةٍ سَيِّئَةٌ مِّثْلُهَا (The recompense for an evil is an evil like thereof). This is like the Ayat: فَمَنِ اعْتَدَى عَلَيْكُمْ فَاعْتَدُواْ عَلَيْهِ بِمِثْلِ مَا اعْتَدَى عَلَيْكُمْ (Then whoever transgresses the prohibition against you, you transgress likewise against him) (2:194), and وَإِنْ عَاقَبْتُمْ فَعَاقِبُواْ بِمِثْلِ مَا عُوقِبْتُمْ بِهِ (And if you punish, then punish them with the like of that with which you were afflicted) (16:126). Justice, has been prescribed, in the form of the prescribed laws of equality in punishment (Al-Qisas), but the better way, which means forgiving, is recommended, as Allah says: وَالْجُرُوحَ قِصَاصٌ فَمَن تَصَدَّقَ بِهِ فَهُوَ كَفَّارَةٌ لَّهُ (and wounds equal for equal. But if anyone remits the retaliation by way of charity, it shall be for him an expiation) (5:45). Allah says here: فَمَنْ عَفَا وَأَصْلَحَ فَأَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ (but whoever forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward is with Allah. ) means, that will not be wasted with Allah.…
