Glossary entry (derived from question below)
Persian (Farsi) term or phrase:
به منظور بد گرفتن
English translation:
misunderstand
Persian (Farsi) term
به منظور بد گرفتن
It's from the Iran Centre textbook, which teaches a rather literary Persian, though perhaps this particular sentence is more colloquial:
امیدوارم که شما هم حرفهایم را به منظور بد نگرفته باشید
One thing: the dot under the ب in the word بد is obscured, so it is possible that the letter is not ب. However, if it isn't, I really can't think what it might be.
Best wishes,
Simon

To take something the other way
Proposed translation: I hope you have not taken it (my words) the other way.
But believe me the sentence does not look like pure Persian particularly the phrase به منظور بد because in Persian we often use terms like برداشت بد از حرف, سو تفاهم به خاطر حرف as in
امیدوارم از حرف هایم بد برداشت نکرده باشید
امیدوارم حرف هایم باعث ایجاد سو تفاهم نشده باشد
امیدوارم از حرف هایم بد برداشت نکرده باشید
I hope you have not taken it (my words) the other way.

The other suggestions are OK, too.
