« እናንተ የመጽሐፉ ባለቤቶች ሆይ ! በሃይማኖታችሁ ከእውነት ሌላ የኾነን ( ማለፍ ) ወሰንን አትለፉ ፡ ፡ በፊትም በእርግጥ የተሳሳቱትንና ከቀጥተኛው መንገድም ( አሁን ) የተሳሳቱን ሕዝቦች ከንቱ ዝንባሌዎች አትከተሉ » በላቸው ፡ ፡
Say thou : O people of the Book ! exceed not the just bounds in your religion except with truth , and follow not the vain desires of a people who have strayed aforetime and have led many astray and have strayed from the level way .
