And [for] their taking of usury while they had been forbidden from it, and their consuming of the people's wealth unjustly. And We have prepared for the disbelievers among them a painful punishment.

வட்டி வாங்குவது அவர்களுக்குத் தடை செய்யப்பட்டிருந்தும், அவர்கள் அதை வாங்கி வந்ததன் (காரணமாகவும்,) தவறான முறையில் அவர்கள் மக்களின் சொத்துகளை விழுங்கிக் கொண்டிருந்ததன் (காரணமாகவும், இவ்வாறு தண்டனை வழங்கினோம்), இவர்களில் காஃபிரானோருக்கு (மறுமையில்) நோவினை செய்யும் வேதனையையும் நாம் சித்தப்படுத்தியுள்ளோம்.

තවද පොලිය තහනම් කරනු ලැබ තිබිය දී ඔවුන් එය ගත් බැවින් ද අනිසි අයුරින් ජනයාගේ වස්තුව ඔවුන් අනුභව කළ බැවින් ද වේ. තවද අපි ඔවුන් අතුරින් වූ දේවත්වය ප්‍රතික්ෂේප කළවුනට වේදනා සහගත දඬුවමක් සූදානම් කළෙමු.
