وَمِنْهُم And among them مَّن (are those) who يَسْتَمِعُ listen إِلَيْكَ ۖ to you وَجَعَلْنَا but We have placed عَلَىٰ over قُلُوبِهِمْ their hearts أَكِنَّةً coverings أَن lest يَفْقَهُوهُ they understand it وَفِىٓ and in ءَاذَانِهِمْ their ears وَقْرًۭا ۚ deafness وَإِن And if يَرَوْا۟ they see كُلَّ every ءَايَةٍۢ sign لَّا not يُؤْمِنُوا۟ will they believe بِهَا ۚ in it حَتَّىٰٓ Until إِذَا when جَآءُوكَ they come to you يُجَـٰدِلُونَكَ and argue with you يَقُولُ say ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوٓا۟ disbelieved إِنْ Not هَـٰذَآ (is) this إِلَّآ but أَسَـٰطِيرُ (the) tales ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ (of) the former (people) ٢٥

And among them are those who listen to you, but We have placed over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness. And if they should see every sign, they will not believe in it. Even when they come to you arguing with you, those who disbelieve say, "This is not but legends of the former peoples."

بَلْ Nay بَدَا became manifest لَهُم for them مَّا what كَانُوا۟ they used to يُخْفُونَ conceal مِن from قَبْلُ ۖ before وَلَوْ And if رُدُّوا۟ they were sent back لَعَادُوا۟ certainly they (would) return لِمَا to what نُهُوا۟ they were forbidden عَنْهُ from it وَإِنَّهُمْ and indeed they لَكَـٰذِبُونَ certainly are liars ٢٨

قَدْ Indeed خَسِرَ incurred loss ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَذَّبُوا۟ denied بِلِقَآءِ in (the) meeting ٱللَّهِ ۖ (with) Allah حَتَّىٰٓ until إِذَا when جَآءَتْهُمُ came to them ٱلسَّاعَةُ the Hour بَغْتَةًۭ suddenly قَالُوا۟ they said يَـٰحَسْرَتَنَا Oh! Our regret عَلَىٰ over مَا what فَرَّطْنَا we neglected فِيهَا concerning it وَهُمْ while they يَحْمِلُونَ will bear أَوْزَارَهُمْ their burdens عَلَىٰ on ظُهُورِهِمْ ۚ their backs أَلَا Unquestionably سَآءَ Evil مَا (is) what يَزِرُونَ they bear ٣١

Those will have lost who deny the meeting with Allāh, until when the Hour [of resurrection] comes upon them unexpectedly, they will say, "Oh, [how great is] our regret over what we neglected concerning it [i.e., the Hour]," while they bear their burdens [i.e., sins] on their backs. Unquestionably, evil is that which they bear.
