ለሰዎች ከተገለጸች ሕዝብ ሁሉ በላጭ ኾናችሁ በጽድቅ ነገር ታዛላችሁ ፤ ከመጥፎም ነገር ታዛላችሁ ፤ በአላህም ( አንድነት ) ታምናላችሁ ፡ ፡ የመጽሐፉም ሰዎች ባመኑ ኖሮ ለነርሱ የተሻለ በኾነ ነበር ፡ ፡ ከነርሱ አማኞች አሉ ፡ ፡ አብዛኞቻቸው ግን አመጸኞች ናቸው ፡ ፡
Ye are the best of peoples , evolved for mankind , enjoining what is right , forbidding what is wrong , and believing in Allah . If only the People of the Book had faith , it were best for them : among them are some who have faith , but most of them are perverted transgressors .
