3:187
واذ اخذ الله ميثاق الذين اوتوا الكتاب لتبيننه للناس ولا تكتمونه فنبذوه وراء ظهورهم واشتروا به ثمنا قليلا فبيس ما يشترون ١٨٧
وَإِذْ أَخَذَ ٱللَّهُ مِيثَـٰقَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ لَتُبَيِّنُنَّهُۥ لِلنَّاسِ وَلَا تَكْتُمُونَهُۥ فَنَبَذُوهُ وَرَآءَ ظُهُورِهِمْ وَٱشْتَرَوْا۟ بِهِۦ ثَمَنًۭا قَلِيلًۭا ۖ فَبِئْسَ مَا يَشْتَرُونَ ١٨٧
وَإِذۡ
أَخَذَ
ٱللَّهُ
مِيثَٰقَ
ٱلَّذِينَ
أُوتُواْ
ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ
لَتُبَيِّنُنَّهُۥ
لِلنَّاسِ
وَلَا
تَكۡتُمُونَهُۥ
فَنَبَذُوهُ
وَرَآءَ
ظُهُورِهِمۡ
وَٱشۡتَرَوۡاْ
بِهِۦ
ثَمَنٗا
قَلِيلٗاۖ
فَبِئۡسَ
مَا
يَشۡتَرُونَ
١٨٧
˹Remember, O  Prophet,˺ when Allah took the covenant of those who were given the Scripture to make it known to people and not hide it, yet they cast it behind their backs and traded it for a fleeting gain. What a miserable profit!

لَتُبَيِّنُنَّّهُ لِلنَّاسِ وَلَا تَكْتُمُونَهُ
la-tubayyinunnahū … wa-lā taktumūnahū
“God took a pledge from those who were given the Scripture: ‘Make it known to people and do not conceal it’”
لَيُبَيِّنُنَّّهُ لِلنَّاسِ وَلَا يَكْتُمُونَهُ
la-yubayyinunnahū … wa-lā yaktumūnahū
“God took a pledge from those who were given the Scripture that they must make it known to people and not conceal it”

Explanation

These readings convey the same meaning: the first with a quote of the pledge taken, and the second relating it in the third person.

He has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ the Book in truth, confirming what came before it, as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel
