ዛሬ መልካሞች ሁሉ ለናንተ ተፈቀዱ ፡ ፡ የእነዚያም መጽሐፍን የተሰጡት ሰዎች ምግብ ( ያረዱት ) ለእናንተ የተፈቀደ ነው ፡ ፡ ምግባችሁም ለነሱ የተፈቀደ ነው ፡ ፡ ከምእመናት ጥብቆቹም ከእነዚያ ከእናንተ በፊት መጽሐፍን ከተሰጡት ሴቶች ጥብቆቹም ፤ ዘማዊዎችና ( ዝሙተኞች ) የምስጢር ወዳጅ ያዢዎች ሳትኾኑ ጥብቆች ኾናችሁ መህሮቻቸውን በሰጣችኋቸው ጊዜ ( ልታገቡዋቸው የተፈቀዱ ናቸው ) ፡ ፡ ከእምነትም የሚመለስ ሰው በእርግጥ ሥራው ተበላሸ ፡ ፡ በመጨረሻም ቀን እርሱ ከከሳሪዎቹ ነው ፡ ፡
The food of the People of the Book is lawful unto you and yours is lawful unto them . ( Lawful unto you in marriage ) are ( not only ) chaste women who are believers , but chaste women among the People of the Book , revealed before your time , - when ye give them their due dowers , and desire chastity , not lewdness , nor secret intrigues if any one rejects faith , fruitless is his work , and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost ( all spiritual good ) .
