وَقَالَتِ ٱلْيَهُودُ عُزَيْرٌ ٱبْنُ ٱللَّهِ وَقَالَتِ ٱلنَّصَـٰرَى ٱلْمَسِيحُ ٱبْنُ ٱللَّهِ ۖ ذَٰلِكَ قَوْلُهُم بِأَفْوَٰهِهِمْ ۖ يُضَـٰهِـُٔونَ قَوْلَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن قَبْلُ ۚ قَـٰتَلَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ۚ أَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ

Yahudiler, "Üzeyr Allah'ın oğludur" dediler; Hıristiyanlar, "Mesih Allah'ın oğludur" dediler. Bu, daha önce inkar edenlerin sözlerine benzeterek ağızlarında geveledikleri sözdür. Allah onları yok etsin, nasıl da uyduruyorlar!
The Jews say, 'Uzayr is the son of God,' and the Christians say, 'The Messiah is the son of God.' That is what they say with their mouths, echoing the words of those who denied before them. May God confound them — how are they so deluded?
Arabic marks this saying as something carried by the mouth alone, with nothing received standing behind it, and that is the argument the whole passage is making about where religious authority comes from. Early commentators reported the claim about Uzayr of a particular group rather than of a whole community, and read the imprecation that follows as an Arabic idiom of rebuke closer to an exclamation than a curse.
