۞ أَتَأْمُرُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ بِٱلْبِرِّ وَتَنسَوْنَ أَنفُسَكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ تَتْلُونَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ ۚ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ
atamurūna l-nāsa bil-biri watansawna anfusakum wa-antum tatlūna l-kitāba afalā taʿqilūna
Do you order righteousness of the people and forget yourselves while you recite the Scripture? Then will you not reason?
— Saheeh International
How can you tell people to do what is right and forget to do it yourselves, even though you recite the Scripture? Have you no sense?
— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem
Enjoin you Al-Birr (piety and righteousness and each and every act of obedience to Allâh) on the people and you forget (to practise it) yourselves, while you recite the Scripture [the Taurât (Torah)]! Have you then no sense?
— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
