እናንተ ያመናችሁ ሆይ ! ጠላቶቼንና ጠላቶቻችሁን ወዳጆች አድርገችሁ አትያዙ ፡ ፡ ከእውነቱ የመጣላችሁን ሃይማኖት በእርግጥ የካዱ ሲኾኑ ውዴታን ወደእነርሱ ታደርሳላችሁ ፡ ፡ መልክተኛውንና እናንተን በአላህ በጌታችሁ ስላመናችሁ ( ከመካ ) ያወጣሉ ፡ ፡ በመንገዴ ለመታገልና ውዴታዬን ለመፈለግ የወጣችሁ እንደኾናችሁ ( ወዳጆች አድርጋችሁ አትያዙዋቸው ) ፡ ፡ እኔ የምትደብቁትንና የምትገልጹትን ሁሉ የማውቅ ስኾን ወደእነርሱ በፍቅር ትመሳጠራላችሁ ፡ ፡ ከእናንተም ( ይህንን ) የሚሠራ ሰው ቀጥተኛውን መንገድ በእርግጥ ተሳሳተ ፡ ፡
Take not My enemies and your enemies ( i.e. disbelievers and polytheists , etc . ) as friends , showing affection towards them , while they have disbelieved in what has come to you of the truth ( i.e. Islamic Monotheism , this Quran , and Muhammad SAW ) , and have driven out the Messenger ( Muhammad SAW ) and yourselves ( from your homeland ) because you believe in Allah your Lord ! If you have come forth to strive in My Cause and to seek My Good Pleasure , ( then take not these disbelievers and polytheists , etc . , as your friends ) .
