From a fully vowelled text
وَسَأَلَهُ جُنْدِيُّونَ أَيْضًا قَائِلِينَ: «وَمَاذَا نَفْعَلُ نَحْنُ؟» فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: «لاَ تَظْلِمُوا أَحَدًا، وَلاَ تَشُوا بِأَحَدٍ، وَاكْتَفُوا بِعَلاَئِفِكُمْ».And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.Luke 3:14, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
