وَقَالُوا۟ And they will say لِجُلُودِهِمْ to their skins لِمَ Why do شَهِدتُّمْ you testify عَلَيْنَا ۖ against us قَالُوٓا۟ They will say أَنطَقَنَا Allah made us speak ٱللَّهُ Allah made us speak ٱلَّذِىٓ the One Who أَنطَقَ makes speak كُلَّ every شَىْءٍۢ thing وَهُوَ and He خَلَقَكُمْ created you أَوَّلَ (the) first مَرَّةٍۢ time وَإِلَيْهِ and to Him تُرْجَعُونَ you will be returned ٢١

وَمَا And not كُنتُمْ you were تَسْتَتِرُونَ covering yourselves أَن lest يَشْهَدَ testify عَلَيْكُمْ against you سَمْعُكُمْ your hearing وَلَآ and not أَبْصَـٰرُكُمْ your sight وَلَا and not جُلُودُكُمْ your skins وَلَـٰكِن but ظَنَنتُمْ you assumed أَنَّ that ٱللَّهَ Allah لَا (does) not يَعْلَمُ know كَثِيرًۭا much مِّمَّا of what تَعْمَلُونَ you do ٢٢

And you were not covering [i.e., protecting] yourselves, lest your hearing testify against you or your sight or your skins, but you assumed that Allāh does not know much of what you do.

فَإِن Then if يَصْبِرُوا۟ they endure فَٱلنَّارُ the Fire مَثْوًۭى (is) an abode لَّهُمْ ۖ for them وَإِن and if يَسْتَعْتِبُوا۟ they ask for favor فَمَا then not هُم they مِّنَ (will be) of ٱلْمُعْتَبِينَ those who receive favor ٢٤

So [even] if they are patient, the Fire is a residence for them; and if they ask to appease [Allāh], they will not be of those who are allowed to appease.

۞ وَقَيَّضْنَا And We have destined لَهُمْ for them قُرَنَآءَ companions فَزَيَّنُوا۟ (who) made fair-seeming لَهُم to them مَّا what بَيْنَ (was) before them أَيْدِيهِمْ (was) before them وَمَا and what خَلْفَهُمْ (was) behind them وَحَقَّ and (is) justified عَلَيْهِمُ against them ٱلْقَوْلُ the Word فِىٓ among أُمَمٍۢ nations قَدْ (that have) passed away خَلَتْ (that have) passed away مِن before them قَبْلِهِم before them مِّنَ of ٱلْجِنِّ the jinn وَٱلْإِنسِ ۖ and the men إِنَّهُمْ Indeed, they كَانُوا۟ were خَـٰسِرِينَ losers ٢٥

And We appointed for them companions who made attractive to them what was before them and what was behind them [of sin], and the word [i.e., decree] has come into effect upon them among nations which had passed on before them of jinn and men. Indeed, they [all] were losers.
