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

But what they concealed before has [now] appeared to them. And even if they were returned, they would return to that which they were forbidden; and indeed, they are liars.

وَقَالُوٓا۟ And they said إِنْ Not هِىَ it (is) إِلَّا except حَيَاتُنَا our life ٱلدُّنْيَا (of) the world وَمَا and not نَحْنُ we بِمَبْعُوثِينَ (will be) resurrected ٢٩

وَلَوْ And if تَرَىٰٓ you (could) see إِذْ when وُقِفُوا۟ they will be made to stand عَلَىٰ before رَبِّهِمْ ۚ their Lord قَالَ He (will) say أَلَيْسَ Is not هَـٰذَا this بِٱلْحَقِّ ۚ the truth قَالُوا۟ They will say بَلَىٰ Yes وَرَبِّنَا ۚ by our Lord قَالَ He (will) say فَذُوقُوا۟ So taste ٱلْعَذَابَ the punishment بِمَا because كُنتُمْ you used to تَكْفُرُونَ disbelieve ٣٠

If you could but see when they will be made to stand before their Lord. He will say, "Is this not the truth?" They will say, "Yes, by our Lord." He will [then] say, "So taste the punishment for what you used to deny."

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.

And the worldly life is not but amusement and diversion; but the home of the Hereafter is best for those who fear Allāh, so will you not reason?

قَدْ Indeed نَعْلَمُ We know إِنَّهُۥ that it لَيَحْزُنُكَ grieves you ٱلَّذِى what يَقُولُونَ ۖ they say فَإِنَّهُمْ And indeed, they لَا (do) not يُكَذِّبُونَكَ deny you وَلَـٰكِنَّ but ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ the wrongdoers بِـَٔايَـٰتِ the Verses ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah يَجْحَدُونَ they reject ٣٣

وَلَقَدْ And surely كُذِّبَتْ were rejected رُسُلٌۭ Messengers مِّن from قَبْلِكَ before you فَصَبَرُوا۟ but they were patient عَلَىٰ over مَا what كُذِّبُوا۟ they were rejected وَأُوذُوا۟ and they were harmed حَتَّىٰٓ until أَتَىٰهُمْ came to them نَصْرُنَا ۚ Our help وَلَا And no مُبَدِّلَ one (can) alter لِكَلِمَـٰتِ (the) words ٱللَّهِ ۚ (of) Allah وَلَقَدْ and surely جَآءَكَ has come to you مِن of نَّبَإِى۟ (the) news ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ (of) the Messengers ٣٤

And certainly were messengers denied before you, but they were patient over the denial, and they were harmed until Our victory came to them. And none can alter the words [i.e., decrees] of Allāh. And there has certainly come to you some information about the [previous] messengers.

وَإِن And if كَانَ is كَبُرَ difficult عَلَيْكَ for you إِعْرَاضُهُمْ their aversion فَإِنِ then if ٱسْتَطَعْتَ you are able أَن to تَبْتَغِىَ seek نَفَقًۭا a tunnel فِى in ٱلْأَرْضِ the earth أَوْ or سُلَّمًۭا a ladder فِى into ٱلسَّمَآءِ the sky فَتَأْتِيَهُم so that you bring to them بِـَٔايَةٍۢ ۚ a Sign وَلَوْ But if شَآءَ (had) willed ٱللَّهُ Allah لَجَمَعَهُمْ surely He (would) have gathered them عَلَى on ٱلْهُدَىٰ ۚ the guidance فَلَا So (do) not تَكُونَنَّ be مِنَ of ٱلْجَـٰهِلِينَ the ignorant ٣٥

And if their evasion is difficult for you, then if you are able to seek a tunnel into the earth or a stairway into the sky to bring them a sign, [then do so]. But if Allāh had willed, He would have united them upon guidance. So never be of the ignorant.
