English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice.
English - Five Volume Translation
And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice.
Commentary:
Abraham’s preparedness to sacrifice Ishmael was perpetuated in the Islamic institution of "Sacrifice" which forms an integral part of the ceremonies of Hajj. As long as Islam lasts—and it shall last till the end of time—Pilgrimage to Mecca will continue to be performed and on the tenth day of Dhul-Hijjah goats and rams will continue to be slaughtered in hundreds of thousands in Mecca and all over the Muslim world in commemoration of Ishmael’s sacrifice. It is this institution of "Sacrifice" that seems to have been referred to in this verse in the words "And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice".
The reference in the verse may also be to the abolition of human sacrifice which seemed to be in vogue in Abraham’s time and to the substitution for it of animal sacrifice.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ
اور ہم نے ایک ذبحِ عظیم کے بدلے اُسے بچا لیا۔
French
Et Nous le rançonnâmes par un grand sacrifice.
German
Und Wir lösten ihn aus durch ein großes Opfer.
Italian
E Noi lo riscattammo con un sacrificio solenne.

Y le rescatamos con un gran sacrificio.
اردو تفسیرِ صغیر
اور ہم نے اس (یعنی اسماعیل) کا فدیہ ایک بڑی قربانی کے ذریعہ سے دے دیا۔
یاد رکھنا چاہیے کہ بنو اسرائیل کہتے ہیں کہ قربانی کے لئے اسحاقؑ کو چنا گیا تھا اور وہی پلوٹھا تھا۔ مگر قرآن کریم اس کے خلاف اسماعیلؑ کا نام لیتا ہے اور وہی سچا ہے۔ کیونکہ بائبل کا اگر بغور مطالعہ کیا جائے تو وہ کہتی ہے کہ پلوٹھا یعنی سب سے بڑا بیٹا قربان ہوگا۔ اور سب سے بڑا بیٹا خود بائبل کے قول کے مطابق اسماعیلؑ تھا نہ کہ اسحاقؑ (پیدائش باب۱۶ آیت۱۵) پس جہاں جہاں بھی قربانی کے ذکر میں کسی بیٹے کا ذکر ہے وہاں مراد اسماعیلؑ ہے نہ کہ کوئی اور۔ جب حضرت اسماعیلؑ نے قربان ہونے پر آمادگی ظاہر کی تو چونکہ خواب کی اصل تعبیر یہ تھی کہ اسماعیلؑ کو ایک بے آب و گیاہ وادی میں چھوڑ
اردو ترجمہ مودودی
اور ہم نے ایک بڑی قربانی فدیے میں دے کر اس بچے کو چھڑا لیا
