وَإِذَا And when نَادَيْتُمْ you make a call إِلَى for ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ the prayer ٱتَّخَذُوهَا they take it هُزُوًۭا (in) ridicule وَلَعِبًۭا ۚ and fun ذَٰلِكَ That بِأَنَّهُمْ (is) because they قَوْمٌۭ (are) a people لَّا (who do) not يَعْقِلُونَ understand ٥٨

And when you call to prayer, they take it in ridicule and amusement. That is because they are a people who do not use reason.

قُلْ Say يَـٰٓأَهْلَ O People ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ (of) the Book هَلْ Do تَنقِمُونَ you resent مِنَّآ [of] us إِلَّآ except أَنْ that ءَامَنَّا we believe بِٱللَّهِ in Allah وَمَآ and what أُنزِلَ has been revealed إِلَيْنَا to us وَمَآ and what أُنزِلَ was revealed مِن from قَبْلُ before وَأَنَّ and that أَكْثَرَكُمْ most of you فَـٰسِقُونَ (are) defiantly disobedient ٥٩

Say, "O People of the Scripture, do you resent us except [for the fact] that we have believed in Allāh and what was revealed to us and what was revealed before and because most of you are defiantly disobedient?"

قُلْ Say هَلْ Shall أُنَبِّئُكُم I inform you بِشَرٍّۢ (of) worse مِّن than ذَٰلِكَ that مَثُوبَةً (as) recompense عِندَ from ٱللَّهِ ۚ Allah مَن Whom لَّعَنَهُ has (been) cursed ٱللَّهُ (by) Allah وَغَضِبَ and He became angry عَلَيْهِ with him وَجَعَلَ and made مِنْهُمُ of them ٱلْقِرَدَةَ [the] apes وَٱلْخَنَازِيرَ and [the] swines وَعَبَدَ and (who) worshipped ٱلطَّـٰغُوتَ ۚ the false deities أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ Those شَرٌّۭ (are) worse مَّكَانًۭا (in) position وَأَضَلُّ and farthest astray عَن from سَوَآءِ (the) even ٱلسَّبِيلِ way ٦٠

Say, "Shall I inform you of [what is] worse than that as penalty from Allāh? [It is that of] those whom Allāh has cursed and with whom He became angry and made of them apes and pigs and slaves of ṭāghūt. Those are worse in position and further astray from the sound way."

وَإِذَا And when جَآءُوكُمْ they come to you قَالُوٓا۟ they say ءَامَنَّا We believe وَقَد But certainly دَّخَلُوا۟ they entered بِٱلْكُفْرِ with disbelief وَهُمْ and they قَدْ certainly خَرَجُوا۟ went out بِهِۦ ۚ with it وَٱللَّهُ And Allah أَعْلَمُ knows best بِمَا [of] what كَانُوا۟ they were يَكْتُمُونَ hiding ٦١

And when they come to you, they say, "We believe." But they have entered with disbelief [in their hearts], and they have certainly left with it. And Allāh is most knowing of what they were concealing.

لَوْلَا Why (do) not يَنْهَىٰهُمُ forbid them ٱلرَّبَّـٰنِيُّونَ the Rabbis وَٱلْأَحْبَارُ and the religious scholars عَن from قَوْلِهِمُ their saying ٱلْإِثْمَ the sinful وَأَكْلِهِمُ and their eating ٱلسُّحْتَ ۚ (of) the forbidden لَبِئْسَ Surely, evil مَا (is) what كَانُوا۟ they used to يَصْنَعُونَ do ٦٣

Why do the rabbis and religious scholars not forbid them from saying what is sinful and devouring what is unlawful? How wretched is what they have been practicing.

وَقَالَتِ And said ٱلْيَهُودُ the Jews يَدُ The Hand ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah مَغْلُولَةٌ ۚ (is) chained غُلَّتْ Are chained أَيْدِيهِمْ their hands وَلُعِنُوا۟ and they have been cursed بِمَا for what قَالُوا۟ ۘ they said بَلْ Nay يَدَاهُ His Hands مَبْسُوطَتَانِ (are) stretched out يُنفِقُ He spends كَيْفَ how يَشَآءُ ۚ He wills وَلَيَزِيدَنَّ And surely increase كَثِيرًۭا many مِّنْهُم of them مَّآ what أُنزِلَ has been revealed إِلَيْكَ to you مِن from رَّبِّكَ your Lord طُغْيَـٰنًۭا (in) rebellion وَكُفْرًۭا ۚ and disbelief وَأَلْقَيْنَا And We have cast بَيْنَهُمُ among them ٱلْعَدَٰوَةَ [the] enmity وَٱلْبَغْضَآءَ and [the] hatred إِلَىٰ till يَوْمِ (the) Day ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ ۚ (of) the Resurrection كُلَّمَآ Every time أَوْقَدُوا۟ they kindled نَارًۭا (the) fire لِّلْحَرْبِ of [the] war أَطْفَأَهَا it (was) extinguished ٱللَّهُ ۚ (by) Allah وَيَسْعَوْنَ And they strive فِى in ٱلْأَرْضِ the earth فَسَادًۭا ۚ spreading corruption وَٱللَّهُ And Allah لَا (does) not يُحِبُّ love ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ the corrupters ٦٤

And the Jews say, "The hand of Allāh is chained." Chained are their hands, and cursed are they for what they say. Rather, both His hands are extended; He spends however He wills. And that which has been revealed to you from your Lord will surely increase many of them in transgression and disbelief. And We have cast among them animosity and hatred until the Day of Resurrection. Every time they kindled the fire of war [against you], Allāh extinguished it. And they strive throughout the land [causing] corruption, and Allāh does not like corrupters.
