Text Uthmani:

وَلَا تَقۡتُلُواْ ٱلنَّفۡسَ ٱلَّتِي حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَّا بِٱلۡحَقِّۗ وَمَن قُتِلَ مَظۡلُومٗا فَقَدۡ جَعَلۡنَا لِوَلِيِّهِۦ سُلۡطَٰنٗا فَلَا يُسۡرِف فِّي ٱلۡقَتۡلِۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مَنصُورٗا ٣٣

Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran:

Do not take a ˹human˺ life—made sacred by Allah—except with ˹legal˺ right.¹ If anyone is killed unjustly, We have given their heirs² the authority, but do not let them exceed limits in retaliation,³ for they are already supported ˹by law˺.

Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali & Muhammad Muhsin Khan:

And do not kill anyone whose killing Allâh has forbidden, except for a just cause. And whoever is killed wrongfully (Mazlûman intentionally with hostility and oppression and not by mistake), We have given his heir the authority [to demand Qisâs, - Law of Equality in punishment - or to forgive, or to take Diyah (blood money)]. But let him not exceed limits in the matter of taking life (i.e he should not kill except the killer). Verily, he is helped (by the Islâmic law).¹
