너희가 고아들에게 공정하지 못할까 두렵다면, 너희 마음에 드는 여인들과 둘, 셋, 또는 넷까지 혼인하라. 그러나 [그들 사이에] 공평하지 못할까 두렵다면 한 명과만, 또는 너희 오른손이 소유한 이들과 [혼인하라]. 그것이 너희가 불의에 빠지지 않기에 더 가깝다.
If you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphans, then marry such women as seem good to you, two, three or four. But if you fear that you will not be fair [among them], then [marry only] one, or those whom your right hands possess. That is more likely to keep you from injustice.

- Overline = long vowel (madd): hold it about two beats. Length matters most in recitation.
- Tiny = no vowel in the Arabic here — just the consonant, short.
- Small Latin letter = a sound Korean lacks, on the next syllable: f upper teeth on lower lip · θ/ð tongue tip between the teeth · r rolled tongue tip (a bare ㄹ is l).
