ከዘንባባ ( ከተምር ዛፍ ) ማንኛዋም የቆረጣችኋት ወይም በግንዶቿ ላይ የቆመች ኾና የተዋችኋት በአላህ ፈቃድ ነው ፡ ፡ አመጸኞቸንም ያዋርድ ዘንድ ( በመቁረጥ ፈቀደ ) ፡ ፡
Whether ye cut down ( O ye Muslim ! ) The tender palm-trees , or ye left them standing on their roots , it was by leave of Allah , and in order that He might cover with shame the rebellious transgresses .
