In context
Quranic text · Tanzil Uthmani 1.1How translators rendered it
Translation · 5 editionsThese translations render verse 5:63 — the whole verse this word appears in — not this word alone. The correspondence is verse-level: no word-level alignment of translations exists for these editions, so we do not claim which English word renders this Arabic word. Compare the editions →
Why do the rabbis and the priests not prevent them from speaking sinfully and from consuming forbidden wealth? Evil is what they have been doingWhy do not the rabbis and the priests forbid their evil-speaking and their devouring of illicit gain? Verily evil is their handiworkHad not their doctors and teachers forbidden their uttering wickedness, and their eating unlawful food, bad indeed would have been their doingsThe masters and their doctors prohibit them from speaking sin and eating unlawful things, - evil is what they have performedwhy not he prohibits them the devoted to the Lords and the rabbis from their word the guilt and their devouring the unlawful gain wretched is what they were they fashionGenerated from a table of word-by-word decisions, not written as prose. Arabic word order is preserved, so it reads stiffly and is not a substitute for a translation written by a person. Every verse is rendered, but the whole remains under review: words marked as judgement rest on weaker evidence than the rest and are flagged in place. No tafsir, hadith or existing translation was consulted.
