EnglishSaheeh International
And [mention, O Muḥammad], when Allāh took a covenant from those who were given the Scripture, [saying], "You must make it clear [i.e., explain it] to the people and not conceal it." But they threw it away behind their backs and exchanged it for a small price. And wretched is that which they purchased.

தவிர வேதம் கொடுக்கப்பட்டோரிடம் அவர்கள் அதை மக்களுக்குத் தெளிவாக எடுத்துரைக்க வேண்டும், அதை மறைக்கக் கூடாது என்று அல்லாஹ் உறுதி மொழி வாங்கியதை (அம்மக்களுக்கு நபியே! நீர் நினைவுபடுத்துவீராக). அப்பால், அவர்கள் அதைத் தங்கள் முதுகுகளுக்குப் பின்னால் எறிந்து விட்டு; அதற்குப் (பதிலாகச்) சொற்ப கிரயத்தைப் பெற்றுக் கொண்டார்கள் - அவர்கள் (இவ்வாறு) வாங்கிக் கொண்டது மிகக் கெட்டதாகும்.

වේද ග්‍රන්ථය දෙනු ලැබූවන්ගෙන් "නුඹලා ජනයාට එ(ම වේද ග්‍රන්ථ)ය පැහැදිලි කරනු. තවද නුඹලා එය වසන් නොකරනු" යැයි අල්ලාහ් ප්‍රතිඥා ගත් අවස්ථාව සිහිපත් කරනු. නමුත් ඔවුහු එය ඔවුන්ගේ පිට පෙදෙසින් පිටුපසට විසි කළෝය. ඒ (ප්‍රතිඥාව) වෙනුවට අල්ප මිලක් ලබා ගත්තෝය. ඔවුන් මිලට ගන්නා දෑ ඉතා නපුරු විය.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
اور اللہ تعالیٰ نے جب اہل کتاب سے عہد لیا کہ تم اسے سب لوگوں سے ضرور بیان کرو گے اور اسے چھپاؤ گے نہیں، تو پھر بھی ان لوگوں نے اس عہد کو اپنی پیٹھ پیچھے ڈال دیا اور اسے بہت کم قیمت پر بیچ ڈاﻻ۔ ان کا یہ بیوپار بہت برا ہے.

アッラーが,且つて啓典の民と約束された時のことを思い起せ。「あなたがたはこれを人びとに説明して,隠してはならない。」だがかれらはこれを背後に捨て,僅かな代償でこれを売った。かれらの取引は何と災いであることよ。

当时,真主与曾受天经的人缔约,说:你们必为世人阐明天经,你们不可隐讳它。但他们把它抛在背后,并以它换取些微的代价。他们所换取的真恶劣!

Tafsir of 3:187

Chastising the People of the Scriptures for Breaking the Covenant and Hiding the Truth In this Ayah, Allah chastises the People of the Scriptures, from whom Allah took the covenant by the words of their Prophets, that they would believe in Muhammad ﷺ and describe him to the people, so that they would recognize and follow him when Allah sent him. However, they hid this truth and preferred the the small amounts and the material gains instead of the rewards of this life and the Hereafter that they were promised. This is a losing deal and a failing trade, indeed. These Ayat also contain a warning for the scholars not to imitate their behavior, so that they do not suffer the same fate and become like them. Therefore, the scholars are required to spread the beneficial knowledge that they have, encouraging the various righteous good deeds. They are also warned against hiding any part of their knowledge.…
