« እናንተ የመጽሐፉ ባለቤቶች ሆይ ! በሃይማኖታችሁ ከእውነት ሌላ የኾነን ( ማለፍ ) ወሰንን አትለፉ ፡ ፡ በፊትም በእርግጥ የተሳሳቱትንና ከቀጥተኛው መንገድም ( አሁን ) የተሳሳቱን ሕዝቦች ከንቱ ዝንባሌዎች አትከተሉ » በላቸው ፡ ፡
Say : " O people of the Book ! exceed not in your religion the bounds ( of what is proper ) , trespassing beyond the truth , nor follow the vain desires of people who went wrong in times gone by , - who misled many , and strayed ( themselves ) from the even way .
