وَلِيَعْلَمَ And that He (might) make evident ٱلَّذِينَ those who نَافَقُوا۟ ۚ (are) hypocrites وَقِيلَ And it was said لَهُمْ to them تَعَالَوْا۟ Come قَـٰتِلُوا۟ fight فِى in سَبِيلِ (the) way ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah أَوِ or ٱدْفَعُوا۟ ۖ defend قَالُوا۟ They said لَوْ If نَعْلَمُ we knew قِتَالًۭا fighting لَّٱتَّبَعْنَـٰكُمْ ۗ certainly we (would have) followed you هُمْ They لِلْكُفْرِ to disbelief يَوْمَئِذٍ that day أَقْرَبُ (were) nearer مِنْهُمْ than [them] لِلْإِيمَـٰنِ ۚ to the faith يَقُولُونَ saying بِأَفْوَٰهِهِم with their mouths مَّا what لَيْسَ was not فِى in قُلُوبِهِمْ ۗ their hearts وَٱللَّهُ And Allah أَعْلَمُ (is) Most Knowing بِمَا of what يَكْتُمُونَ they conceal ١٦٧

And Allāh is most knowing of what they conceal -
