(And remember) when Allah took a covenant from those who were given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) to make it (the news of the coming of Prophet Muhammad SAW and the religious knowledge) known and clear to mankind, and not to hide it, but they threw it away behind their backs, and purchased with it some miserable gain! And indeed worst is that which they bought.
و چون خدا از آنان که کتاب به آنها داده شد پیمان گرفت که حقایق کتاب آسمانی را برای مردم بیان کنید و کتمان مکنید، پس آنها عهد خدا را پشت سر انداخته و آیات الهی را به بهایی اندک فروختند، پس بد معامله‌ای کردند.
