وَمَا But what لَهُمْ (is) for them أَلَّا that not يُعَذِّبَهُمُ (should) punish them ٱللَّهُ Allah وَهُمْ while they يَصُدُّونَ hinder (people) عَنِ from ٱلْمَسْجِدِ Al-Masjid ٱلْحَرَامِ Al-Haraam وَمَا while not كَانُوٓا۟ they are أَوْلِيَآءَهُۥٓ ۚ its guardians إِنْ Not (can be) أَوْلِيَآؤُهُۥٓ its guardians إِلَّا except ٱلْمُتَّقُونَ the ones who fear Allah وَلَـٰكِنَّ but أَكْثَرَهُمْ most of them لَا (do) not يَعْلَمُونَ know ٣٤

But why should Allāh not punish them while they obstruct [people] from al-Masjid al-Ḥarām and they were not [fit to be] its guardians? Its [true] guardians are not but the righteous, but most of them do not know.

إِنَّ Indeed ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieve يُنفِقُونَ they spend أَمْوَٰلَهُمْ their wealth لِيَصُدُّوا۟ to hinder (people) عَن from سَبِيلِ (the) way ٱللَّهِ ۚ (of) Allah فَسَيُنفِقُونَهَا So they will spend it ثُمَّ then تَكُونُ it will be عَلَيْهِمْ for them حَسْرَةًۭ a regret ثُمَّ then يُغْلَبُونَ ۗ they will be overcome وَٱلَّذِينَ And those who كَفَرُوٓا۟ disbelieve إِلَىٰ to جَهَنَّمَ Hell يُحْشَرُونَ they will be gathered ٣٦

Indeed, those who disbelieve spend their wealth to avert [people] from the way of Allāh. So they will spend it; then it will be for them a [source of] regret; then they will be overcome. And those who have disbelieved - unto Hell they will be gathered.

لِيَمِيزَ That may distinguish ٱللَّهُ Allah ٱلْخَبِيثَ the wicked مِنَ from ٱلطَّيِّبِ the good وَيَجْعَلَ and place ٱلْخَبِيثَ the wicked بَعْضَهُۥ some of them عَلَىٰ on بَعْضٍۢ others فَيَرْكُمَهُۥ and heap them جَمِيعًۭا all together فَيَجْعَلَهُۥ and put them فِى in جَهَنَّمَ ۚ Hell أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ Those هُمُ they ٱلْخَـٰسِرُونَ (are) the losers ٣٧

قُل Say لِّلَّذِينَ to those who كَفَرُوٓا۟ disbelieve إِن if يَنتَهُوا۟ they cease يُغْفَرْ will be forgiven لَهُم for them مَّا what قَدْ [verily] سَلَفَ (is) past وَإِن But if يَعُودُوا۟ they return فَقَدْ then verily مَضَتْ preceded سُنَّتُ (the) practice ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ (of) the former (people) ٣٨

Say to those who have disbelieved [that] if they cease, what has previously occurred will be forgiven for them. But if they return [to hostility] - then the precedent of the former [rebellious] peoples has already taken place.
