Innal lazeena kafaroo sawaaa'un 'alaihim 'a-anzar tahum am lam tunzirhum laa yu'minoon

BEHOLD, as for those who are bent on denying the truth - it is all one to them whether thou warnest them or dost not warn them: they will not believe.

Khatamal laahu 'alaa quloobihim wa 'alaa sam'i-him wa 'alaaa absaarihim ghishaa watunw wa lahum 'azaabun 'azeem

God; has sealed their hearts and their hearing, and over their eyes is a veil; and awesome suffering awaits them.

Wa minan naasi mai yaqoolu aamannaa billaahi wa bil yawmil aakhiri wa maa hum bimu'mineen

And there are people who say, "We do believe in God and the Last Day," the while they do not [really] believe.

Yukhaadi'oonal laaha wallazeena aamanoo wa maa yakhda'oona illaaa anfusahum wa maa yash'uroon

They would deceive God and those who have attained to faith-the while they deceive none but themselves, and perceive it not.

Fee quloobihim mara dun fazzdahumul laahu maradan wa lahum 'azaabun aleemum bimaa kaanoo yakziboon

In their hearts is disease, and so God lets their disease increase; and grievous suffering awaits them because of their persistent lying.

Wa izaa qeela lahum laa tufsidoo fil ardi qaalo innamaa nahnu muslihoon

And when they are told, "Do not spread corruption on earth," they answer, "We are but improving things!"

Alaaa innahum humul mufsidoona wa laakil laa yash'uroon

Oh, verily, it is they, they who are spreading corruption but they perceive it not?

Wa izaa qeela lahum aaminoo kamaaa aamanan naasu qaalooo anu'minu kamaaa aamanas sufahaaa'; alaaa innahum humus sufahaaa'u wa laakil laa ya'lamoon

And when they are told, "Believe as other people believe," they answer, "Shall we believe as the weak-minded believe?" Oh, verily, it is they, they who are weak-minded -but they know it not!

Wa izaa laqul lazeena aamanoo qaalooo aamannaa wa izaa khalw ilaa shayaateenihim qaalooo innaa ma'akum innamaa nahnu mustahzi'oon

And when they meet those who have attained to faith, they assert, "We believe [as you believe]"; but when they find themselves alone with their- evil impulses, they say, "Verily, we are with you; we were only mocking!"

Allahu yastahzi'u bihim wa yamudduhum fee tughyaanihim ya'mahoon

God will requite them for their mockery, and will leave them for a while in their overweening arrogance, blindly stumbling to and fro:

Ulaaa'ikal lazeenash tara wud dalaalata bilhudaa famaa rabihat tijaaratuhum wa maa kaanoo muhtadeen

[for] it is they who have taken error in exchange for guidance; and neither has their bargain brought them gain, nor have they found guidance [elsewhere].
