فَلَا So (let) not تُعْجِبْكَ impress you أَمْوَٰلُهُمْ their wealth وَلَآ and not أَوْلَـٰدُهُمْ ۚ their children إِنَّمَا Only يُرِيدُ Allah intends ٱللَّهُ Allah intends لِيُعَذِّبَهُم to punish them بِهَا with it فِى in ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ the life ٱلدُّنْيَا (of) the world وَتَزْهَقَ and should depart أَنفُسُهُمْ their souls وَهُمْ while they كَـٰفِرُونَ (are) disbelievers ٥٥

So let not their wealth or their children impress you. Allāh only intends to punish them through them in worldly life and that their souls should depart [at death] while they are disbelievers.

وَلَوْ And if أَنَّهُمْ [that] they رَضُوا۟ (were) satisfied مَآ (with) what ءَاتَىٰهُمُ Allah gave them ٱللَّهُ Allah gave them وَرَسُولُهُۥ and His Messenger وَقَالُوا۟ and said حَسْبُنَا Sufficient for us ٱللَّهُ (is) Allah سَيُؤْتِينَا Allah will give us ٱللَّهُ Allah will give us مِن of فَضْلِهِۦ His Bounty وَرَسُولُهُۥٓ and His Messenger إِنَّآ Indeed, we إِلَى to ٱللَّهِ Allah رَٰغِبُونَ turn our hopes ٥٩

If only they had been satisfied with what Allāh and His Messenger gave them and said, "Sufficient for us is Allāh; Allāh will give us of His bounty, and [so will] His Messenger; indeed, we are desirous toward Allāh," [it would have been better for them].
