فَإِمَّا تَثْقَفَنَّهُمْ فِى ٱلْحَرْبِ فَشَرِّدْ بِهِم مَّنْ خَلْفَهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ
Faimm a tathqafannahum fee al h arbi fasharrid bihim man khalfahum laAAallahum ya thth akkaroon a
if thou find them at war [with you], make of them a fearsome example for those who follow them,60 so that they might take it to heart;
  - Mohammad Asad

Lit., "put to flight, by means of them, those who come after them"; or "terrify through them those who follow them": i.e., "fight against them and inflict an exemplary punishment on them".

If you encounter them in combat, make them a fearsome example for others who would follow them so that they all may learn a lesson.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
If you ever encounter them in battle, make a fearsome example of them, so perhaps those who would follow them may be deterred.
  - Mustafa Khattab
If thou comest on them in the war, deal with them so as to strike fear in those who are behind them, that haply they may remember.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
If ye gain the mastery over them in war disperse with them those who follow them that they may remember.
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
