لَوْلَا
يَنْهَاهُمُ
الرَّبَّانِيُّونَ
وَالْأَحْبَارُ
عَن
قَوْلِهِمُ
الْإِثْمَ
وَأَكْلِهِمُ
السُّحْتَ
لَبِئْسَ
مَا
كَانُوا
يَصْنَعُونَ
law-lā yanhāhumu r-rabbāniyyūna wa-l-ʾaḥbāru ʿan qawlihimu l-ʾithma wa-ʾaklihimu s-suḥta la-biʾsa mā kānū yaṣnaʿūna
Why do not the rabbis and the doctors of Law forbid them from their (habit of) uttering sinful words and eating things forbidden? Evil indeed are their works.
— Abdullah Yusufali
Why do not the rabbis and the scribes forbid them from sinful speech and consuming illicit gains? Surely, evil is what they have been working.
