9:34 O you who have believed, indeed many of the scholars and the monks devour the wealth of people unjustly and avert [them] from the way of Allah. And those who hoard gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah - give them tidings of a painful punishment.
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishThose who believe in Allah and His Messenger, acting in obedience to the sacred law, are told that many of the Jewish rabbis and the Christian monks unjustly take the wealth of people, through things such as taking bribes, and prevent people from entering the path of Allah; they also collect gold and silver without purifying it by giving charity.
The Messenger is told to inform them of the painful punishment that they will be given on the Day of Judgement.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
O you who believe! Verily, there are many of the (Jewish) rabbis and the (Christian) monks who devour the wealth of mankind in falsehood, and hinder (them) from the Way of Allah (i.e. Allah's Religion of Islamic Monotheism). And those who hoard up gold and silver [Al-Kanz: the money, the Zakat of which has not been paid], and spend it not in the Way of Allah, -announce unto them a painful torment.

Those who treasure up gold and silver and do not spend of it in divine service were born to be losers; announce to them O Muhammad the anticipation of a grievous punishment
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(9:34) O Believers, indeed most of the scholars and monks of the people of the Book devour the wealth of others by evil means, and debar them from the Way of Allah. *33 Give them the good news of a painful torment, who hoard up gold and silver and expend not these in the Way of Allah.
O you who have believed, indeed many of the scholars and the meaning
*33) These religious leaders are guilty of two sins. First, they devour the wealth of the common people by selling false decrees, and by taking bribes, gifts and presents on different pretexts. They invent religious regulations and rituals as tempt people to buy their salvations and fortunes in life from them and make deaths and marriages dependent on the payment of due `price' to these "monopolists" of Paradise. To add to this another sin, they debar the people from the Way of Allah by involving them into different sorts of deviations and by obstructing the way of every Righteous Mission with the obstacles of `learned' doubts and `pious' suspicions.
O you who have believed, indeed many of the scholars and the meaning in Urdu
اے ایمان لانے والو، اِن اہل کتاب کے اکثر علماء اور درویشوں کا حال یہ ہے کہ وہ لوگوں کے مال باطل طریقوں سے کھاتے ہیں اور انہیں اللہ کی راہ سے روکتے ہیں دردناک سزا کی خوش خبری دو ان کو جو سونے اور چاندی جمع کر کے رکھتے ہیں اور انہیں خدا کی راہ میں خرچ نہیں کرتے
