They assign to Allah a portion out of the produce and cattle that He has created, saying out of their fancy: 'This is for Allah' - so they deem -'and this is for the associates (of Allah) whom we have contrived.' Then, the portion assigned to the beings whom they have set up as associates (of Allah) does not reach Allah, but the portion assigned to Allah reaches the beings they set up as associates (of Allah)! Indeed evil is what they decide!
و [مشركان،] براى خدا از آنچه از كِشت و دامها كه آفريده است سهمى گذاشتند، و به پندار خودشان گفتند: «اين ويژه خداست و اين ويژه بتان ما.» پس آنچه خاص بتانشان بود به خدا نمى‌رسيد، و[لى‌] آنچه خاص خدا بود به بتانشان مى‌رسيد. چه بد داورى مى‌كنند.
