Their descendants who inherited the Book gained (by bribery only) worthless things from the worldly life saying, "We shall be forgiven (for what we have done). They would have even doubled such gains if they could have received more. Did they not make a covenant (with God) in the Book not to speak any thing other than the Truth about God and to study its contents well? The life hereafter is much better for the pious ones. Will you not then think?
بعد از اينان گروهى به جايشان نشستند و وارث آن كتاب شدند كه به متاع دنيوى دل بستند و گفتند كه به زودى آمرزيده مى‌شويم. و اگر همانند آن باز هم متاعى بيابند برگيرند. آيا از ايشان پيمان نگرفته‌اند كه درباره خدا جز به راستى سخن نگويند، حال آنكه آنچه در آن كتاب آمده بود خوانده بودند؟ سراى آخرت براى كسانى كه مى‌پرهيزند بهتر است. آيا تعقل نمى‌كنيد؟
