The Repentance · Medinan · Juz 10 · Page 191

وَقَالَتِ ٱلْيَهُودُ عُزَيْرٌ ٱبْنُ ٱللَّهِ وَقَالَتِ ٱلنَّصَـٰرَى ٱلْمَسِيحُ ٱبْنُ ٱللَّهِ ۖ ذَٰلِكَ قَوْلُهُم بِأَفْوَٰهِهِمْ ۖ يُضَـٰهِـُٔونَ قَوْلَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن قَبْلُ ۚ قَـٰتَلَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ۚ أَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ ﴿30﴾
And the Jews say: ‘Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allâh, and the Christians say: Messiah is the son of Allâh. That is their saying with their mouths, resembling the saying of those who disbelieved aforetime. Allâh’s Curse be on them, how they are deluded away from the truth!
وَقَالَتِ waqālati And said
ٱلْيَهُودُ l-yahūdu the Jews
عُزَيْرٌ ʿuzayrun Uzair
ٱبْنُ ub'nu (is) son
ٱللَّهِ l-lahi (of) Allah
وَقَالَتِ waqālati And said
ٱلنَّصَـٰرَى l-naṣārā the Christians
ٱلْمَسِيحُ l-masīḥu Messiah
ٱبْنُ ub'nu (is) son
ٱللَّهِ ۖ l-lahi (of) Allah
ذَٰلِكَ dhālika That
قَوْلُهُم qawluhum (is) their saying
بِأَفْوَٰهِهِمْ ۖ bi-afwāhihim with their mouths
يُضَـٰهِـُٔونَ yuḍāhiūna they imitate
قَوْلَ qawla the saying
ٱلَّذِينَ alladhīna (of) those who
كَفَرُوا۟ kafarū disbelieved
مِن min before
قَبْلُ ۚ qablu before
قَـٰتَلَهُمُ qātalahumu (May) Allah destroy them
ٱللَّهُ ۚ l-lahu (May) Allah destroy them
أَنَّىٰ annā How
يُؤْفَكُونَ yu'fakūna deluded are they
