The example of those who were entrusted with the Torah and then did not take it
on is like that of a donkey who carries volumes [of books]. Wretched is the
example of the people who deny the signs of Allah . And Allah does not guide the
wrongdoing people.
Muhsin Khan Quran Translation
The likeness of those who were entrusted with the (obligation of the) Taurat
(Torah) (i.e. to obey its commandments and to practise its legal laws), but who
subsequently failed in those (obligations), is as the likeness of a donkey who
carries huge burdens of books (but understands nothing from them). How bad is
the example (or the likeness) of people who deny the Ayat (proofs, evidences,
verses, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah. And Allah guides not the people who
are Zalimun (polytheists, wrong-doers, disbelievers, etc.).
Pickthall Quran Translation
The likeness of those who are entrusted with the Law of Moses, yet apply it not,

The similitude of those who were charged with the (obligations of the) Mosaic
Law, but who subsequently failed in those (obligations), is that of a donkey

The likeness of the ones who have been made to carry the Tawrah, (The Book
revealed to Muaa (Moses), of which the extant Torah is a corruption then
afterwards they have not carried it, is as the likeness of an ass carrying
tomes. Miserable is the likeness of the people who have cried lies to the signs
of Allah; and Allah does not guide the unjust people.
