وَلَمَّا And when جَآءَهُمْ came to them كِتَـٰبٌۭ a Book مِّنْ of عِندِ from ٱللَّهِ Allah مُصَدِّقٌۭ confirming لِّمَا what (was) مَعَهُمْ with them وَكَانُوا۟ though they used to مِن from قَبْلُ before يَسْتَفْتِحُونَ (that), pray for victory عَلَى over ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieved فَلَمَّا then when جَآءَهُم came to them مَّا what عَرَفُوا۟ they recognized كَفَرُوا۟ they disbelieved بِهِۦ ۚ in it فَلَعْنَةُ So (the) curse ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah عَلَى (is) on ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ the disbelievers ٨٩

And when there came to them a Book [i.e., the Qur’ān] from Allāh confirming that which was with them - although before they used to pray for victory against those who disbelieved - but [then] when there came to them that which they recognized, they disbelieved in it; so the curse of Allāh will be upon the disbelievers.

بِئْسَمَا Evil (is) that ٱشْتَرَوْا۟ (for) which they have sold بِهِۦٓ with أَنفُسَهُمْ themselves أَن that يَكْفُرُوا۟ they disbelieve بِمَآ in what أَنزَلَ has revealed ٱللَّهُ Allah بَغْيًا grudging أَن that يُنَزِّلَ sends down ٱللَّهُ Allah مِن of فَضْلِهِۦ His Grace عَلَىٰ on مَن whom يَشَآءُ He wills مِنْ from عِبَادِهِۦ ۖ His servants فَبَآءُو So they have drawn (on themselves) بِغَضَبٍ wrath عَلَىٰ upon غَضَبٍۢ ۚ wrath وَلِلْكَـٰفِرِينَ And for the disbelievers عَذَابٌۭ (is) a punishment مُّهِينٌۭ humiliating ٩٠

How wretched is that for which they sold themselves - that they would disbelieve in what Allāh has revealed through [their] outrage that Allāh would send down His favor upon whom He wills from among His servants. So they returned having [earned] wrath upon wrath. And for the disbelievers is a humiliating punishment.

وَإِذَا And when قِيلَ it is said لَهُمْ to them ءَامِنُوا۟ Believe بِمَآ in what أَنزَلَ has revealed ٱللَّهُ Allah قَالُوا۟ they say نُؤْمِنُ We believe بِمَآ in what أُنزِلَ was revealed عَلَيْنَا to us وَيَكْفُرُونَ And they disbelieve بِمَا in what وَرَآءَهُۥ (is) besides it وَهُوَ while it ٱلْحَقُّ (is) the truth مُصَدِّقًۭا confirming لِّمَا what مَعَهُمْ ۗ (is) with them قُلْ Say فَلِمَ Then why تَقْتُلُونَ (did) you kill أَنۢبِيَآءَ (the) Prophets ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah مِن from قَبْلُ before إِن if كُنتُم you were مُّؤْمِنِينَ believers ٩١

And when it is said to them, "Believe in what Allāh has revealed," they say, "We believe [only] in what was revealed to us." And they disbelieve in what came after it, while it is the truth confirming that which is with them. Say, "Then why did you kill the prophets of Allāh before, if you are [indeed] believers?"

۞ وَلَقَدْ And indeed جَآءَكُم came to you مُّوسَىٰ Musa بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ with [the] clear signs ثُمَّ then ٱتَّخَذْتُمُ you took ٱلْعِجْلَ the calf مِنۢ from بَعْدِهِۦ after him وَأَنتُمْ and you ظَـٰلِمُونَ (were) wrongdoers ٩٢

And Moses had certainly brought you clear proofs. Then you took the calf [in worship] after that, while you were wrongdoers.

وَإِذْ And when أَخَذْنَا We took مِيثَـٰقَكُمْ your covenant وَرَفَعْنَا and We raised فَوْقَكُمُ over you ٱلطُّورَ the mount خُذُوا۟ Hold مَآ what ءَاتَيْنَـٰكُم We gave you بِقُوَّةٍۢ with firmness وَٱسْمَعُوا۟ ۖ and listen قَالُوا۟ They said سَمِعْنَا We heard وَعَصَيْنَا and we disobeyed وَأُشْرِبُوا۟ And they were made to drink فِى in قُلُوبِهِمُ their hearts ٱلْعِجْلَ (love of) the calf بِكُفْرِهِمْ ۚ because of their disbelief قُلْ Say بِئْسَمَا Evil (is) that يَأْمُرُكُم orders you (to do) it بِهِۦٓ with إِيمَـٰنُكُمْ your faith إِن if كُنتُم you are مُّؤْمِنِينَ believers ٩٣

And [recall] when We took your covenant and raised over you the mount, [saying], "Take what We have given you with determination and listen." They said [instead], "We hear and disobey." And their hearts absorbed [the worship of] the calf because of their disbelief. Say, "How wretched is that which your faith enjoins upon you, if you should be believers."
