إِنَّا
أَنزَلْنَا
التَّوْرَاةَ
فِيهَا
هُدًى
وَنُورٌ
يَحْكُمُ
بِهَا
النَّبِيُّونَ
الَّذِينَ
أَسْلَمُوا
لِلَّذِينَ
هَادُوا
وَالرَّبَّانِيُّونَ
وَالْأَحْبَارُ
بِمَا
اسْتُحْفِظُوا
مِن
كِتَابِ
اللَّهِ
وَكَانُوا
عَلَيْهِ
شُهَدَاءَ
فَلَا
تَخْشَوُا
النَّاسَ
وَاخْشَوْنِ
وَلَا
تَشْتَرُوا
بِآيَاتِي
ثَمَنًا
قَلِيلًا
وَمَن
لَّمْ
يَحْكُم
بِمَا
أَنزَلَ
اللَّهُ
فَأُولَئِكَ
هُمُ
الْكَافِرُونَ

It was We who revealed the law (to Moses): therein was guidance and light. By its standard have been judged the Jews, by the prophets who bowed (as in Islam) to Allah's will, by the rabbis and the doctors of law: for to them was entrusted the protection of Allah's book, and they were witnesses thereto: therefore fear not men, but fear me, and sell not my signs for a miserable price. If any do fail to judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are (no better than) Unbelievers.
— Abdullah Yusufali
We sent down the Torah containing guidance and light. The prophets, who had submitted, judged by it for the Jews, and so did the rabbis and the scribes, as they were charged to preserve the Book of Allah and were witnesses to it. So do not fear the people, but fear Me, and do not sell My signs for a paltry gain. Those who do not judge by what Allah has sent down—it is they who are the faithless.
