Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)

So whoever transgresses after that,
there is a painful punishment for him.
95 O you who have faith!
Do not kill any game when you are in pilgrim sanctity.
Should any of you kill it intentionally,
its atonement,
the counterpart from cattle of what he has killed,
as judged by two fair men among you,
will be an offering brought to the Ka‘bah,
or an atonement by feeding needy persons,
or its equivalent in fasting,
that he may taste
the untoward consequences of his conduct.
Allah has excused what is already past;
but should anyone resume,
Allah shall take vengeance on him,
for Allah is all-mighty, avenger.
96 You are permitted the game of the sea and its food,
a provision for you and for the caravans,
but you are forbidden the game of the land
so long as you remain in pilgrim sanctity,
and be wary of Allah
toward whom you will be gathered.
97 Allah has made the Ka‘bah, the Sacred House,
a [means of] sustentation for mankind,
and [also] the sacred month, the offering
and the garlands,
so that you may know
that Allah knows whatever there is in the heavens
and whatever there is in the earth,
