Among those who have become Jews there are some who alter the words from their context, and make a malicious play with their tongues and seek to revile the true faith. They say: 'We have heard and we disobey' (sami'na wa 'asayna), 'Do hear us, may you turn dumb' (isma' ghayr musma') and 'Hearken to us' (ra'ina). It would indeed have been better for them and more upright if they had said: 'We have heard and we obey' (sami'na wa ata'na) and: 'Do listen to us, and look at us (with kindness)' (wa isma' wa unzurna). But Allah has cursed them because of their disbelief. Scarcely do they believe.
از جهودان كسانى‌اند كه سخنان [خداى‌] را از جايهايش مى‌گردانند و گويند: شنيديم و نافرمانى كرديم و بشنو كه نشنوى- ناشنوا شوى، يا شنوده نشوى-، و [گويند:] «راعِنا»- كه به زبان جهودان ناسزاست و به عربى يعنى ما را مراعات كن- تا زبانشان را [از حق‌] بگردانند و در دين [اسلام‌] طعنه زنند، و اگر مى‌گفتند: شنيديم و فرمان برديم و بشنو و به ما بنگر، هر آينه براى آنها بهتر و درست‌تر بود ولى خدا آنان را به سبب كفرشان لعنت كرده است، پس ايمان نمى‌آورند مگر اندكى.
