So woe to those who write the "scripture" with their own hands, then say, "This is from Allāh," in order to exchange it for a small price. Woe to them for what their hands have written and woe to them for what they earn.

அற்பக் கிரயத்தைப் பெறுவதற்காகத் தம் கரங்களாலே நூலை எழுதிவைத்துக் கொண்டு பின்னர் அது அல்லாஹ்விடமிருந்து வந்தது என்று கூறுகிறார்களே, அவர்களுக்கு கேடுதான்! அவர்களுடைய கைகள் இவ்வாறு எழுதியதற்காகவும் அவர்களுக்குக் கேடுதான்; அதிலிருந்து அவர்கள் ஈட்டும் சம்பாத்தியத்திற்காகவும் அவர்களுக்குக் கேடுதான்!

එබැවින් තම දෑත්වලින් ග්‍රන්ථය ලියා පසුව එය සුළු මිලකට විකුණනු පිණිස, "මෙය අල්ලාහ් වෙතින්" යැයි පවසන අයට විනාශය අත් වේවා! එබැවින් ඔවුන්ගේ දෑත් ලියූ දැයින් ඔවුනට විනාශය අත් වේවා! තවද ඔවුන් උපයන දැයින් ද ඔවුනට විනාශය අත් වේවා!

ان لوگوں کے لئے “ویل” ہے جو اپنے ہاتھوں کی لکھی ہوئی کتاب کو اللہ تعالیٰ کی طرف کی کہتے ہیں اور اس طرح دنیا کماتے ہیں، ان کے ہاتھوں کی لکھائی کو اور ان کی کمائی کو ویل (ہلاکت) اور افسوس ہے۔

災いあれ,自分の手で啓典を書き,僅かな代償を得るために,「これはアッラーから下ったものだ。」と言う者に。かれらに災いあれ,その手が記したもののために。かれらに災いあれ,それによって利益を得たために。

哀哉!他们亲手写经,然後说:这是真主所降示的。他们欲借此换取些微的代价。哀哉!他们亲手所写的。哀哉!他们自己所营谋的。

Tafsir of 2:79
