Say, "O People of the Scripture, why do you avert from the way of Allāh those who believe, seeking to make it [seem] deviant, while you are witnesses [to the truth]? And Allāh is not unaware of what you do."

"வேதத்தையுடையோரே! நம்பிக்கை கொண்டவர்களை அல்லாஹ்வின் பாதையிலிருந்து ஏன் தடுக்கிறீர்கள்? (அல்லாஹ்வின் ஒப்பந்தத்திற்கு) நீங்களே சாட்சியாக இருந்து கொண்டு அதைக் கோணலாக்க எண்ணுகிறீர்களா? இன்னும் அல்லாஹ் நீங்கள் செய்பவை பற்றிப் பராமுகமாக இல்லை" என்றும் (நபியே!) நீர் கூறுவீராக.

ان اہل کتاب سے کہو کہ تم اللہ تعالیٰ کی راه سے لوگوں کو کیوں روکتے ہو؟ اور اس میں عیب ٹٹولتے ہو، حاﻻنکہ تم خود شاہد ہو ، اللہ تعالیٰ تمہارے اعمال سے بے خبر نہیں.

言ってやるがいい。「啓典の民よ,あなたがたは何故アッラーの道から信仰する者たちを拒否し,曲げさせようとするのか。あなたがたは(アッラーの御導きを)立証した者ではないか。アッラーはあなたがたの行うことを見逃されない。」
ChineseMa Jian
你说:信奉天经的人啊!你们既是见证,为什么你们要阻止信道的人入真主的大道,并想暗示它是邪道呢?真主决不忽视你们的行为。

Tafsir of 3:99

Chastising the People of the Book for Their Disbelief and Blocking the Path of Allah In this Ayah Allah criticizes the disbelieving People of the Book for refusing the truth, rejecting Allah's Ayat and hindering those who seek to believe from His path, although they know that what the Messenger was sent with is the truth from Allah. They learned this from the previous Prophets and honorable Messengers, may Allah's peace and blessings be on them all. They all brought the glad tidings and the good news of the coming of the unlettered, Arab, Hashimi Prophet from Makkah, the master of the Children of Adam, the Final Prophet and the Messenger of the Lord of heavens and earth. Allah has warned the People of the Book against this behavior, stating that He is Witness over what they do, indicating their defiance of the knowledge conveyed to them by the Prophets. They rejected, denied and refused the very Messenger whom they were ordered to convey the glad tidings about his coming. Allah states that He is never unaware of what they do, and He will hold them responsible for their actions, R يَوْمَ لاَ يَنفَعُ مَالٌ وَلاَ بَنُونَ (The Day whereon neither wealth nor sons will avail) 26:88.
