These are the people who buy the life of this world at the price of the Hereafter: their penalty shall not be lightened nor shall they be helped.

They will abide therein: Their penalty will not be lightened, nor will respite be their (lot).

In that will they dwell; nor will their penalty be lightened, nor respite be (their lot);-

But those who reject our signs,- them shall punishment touch, for that they ceased not from transgressing.

They will in no wise frustrate (His design) on earth, nor have they protectors besides Allah! Their penalty will be doubled! They lost the power to hear, and they did not see!

So warn mankind of the Day when the Wrath will reach them: then will the wrong-doers say: "Our Lord! respite us (if only) for a short term: we will answer Thy call, and follow the messengers!" "What! were ye not wont to swear aforetime that ye should suffer no decline?

And that My Penalty will be indeed the most grievous Penalty.

Those before them did also plot (against Allah's Way): but Allah took their structures from their foundations, and the roof fell down on them from above; and the Wrath seized them from directions they did not perceive.

Do then those who devise evil (plots) feel secure that Allah will not cause the earth to swallow them up, or that the Wrath will not seize them from directions they little perceive?-

And there came to them a Messenger from among themselves, but they falsely rejected him; so the Wrath seized them even in the midst of their iniquities.

And what is there to keep back men from believing, now that Guidance has come to them, nor from praying for forgiveness from their Lord, but that (they ask that) the ways of the ancients be repeated with them, or the Wrath be brought to them face to face?

Seest thou not that to Allah bow down in worship all things that are in the heavens and on earth,- the sun, the moon, the stars; the hills, the trees, the animals; and a great number among mankind? But a great number are (also) such as are fit for Punishment: and such as Allah shall disgrace,- None can raise to honour: for Allah carries out all that He wills.

(But) the Penalty on the Day of Judgment will be doubled to him, and he will dwell therein in ignominy,-

But the Penalty seized them. Verily in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe.

They ask thee to hasten on the Punishment (for them): had it not been for a term (of respite) appointed, the Punishment would certainly have come to them: and it will certainly reach them,- of a sudden, while they perceive not!

On the Day that the Punishment shall cover them from above them and from below them, and (a Voice) shall say: "Taste ye (the fruits) of your deeds!"

O Consorts of the Prophet! If any of you were guilty of evident unseemly conduct, the Punishment would be doubled to her, and that is easy for Allah.

Those before them (also) rejected (revelation), and so the Punishment came to them from directions they did not perceive.

"Turn ye to our Lord (in repentance) and bow to His (Will), before the Penalty comes on you: after that ye shall not be helped.

"And follow the best of (the courses) revealed to you from your Lord, before the Penalty comes on you - of a sudden while ye perceive not!-

One Day will the Hypocrites- men and women - say to the Believers: "Wait for us! Let us borrow (a Light) from your Light!" It will be said: "Turn ye back to your rear! then seek a Light (where ye can)!" So a wall will be put up betwixt them, with a gate therein. Within it will be Mercy throughout, and without it, all alongside, will be (Wrath and) Punishment!

Such is the Punishment (in this life); but greater is the Punishment in the Hereafter,- if only they knew!

这等人，是以後世换取今世生活的，故他们所受的刑罚，不被减轻，他们也不被援助。

他们将永居火狱，不蒙减刑，不获宽限。

他们将永居火狱中，不蒙减刑，也不蒙缓刑。

否认我的迹象的人，将为犯罪而遭受刑罚。

这等人在大地上绝不能逃避天谴。除真主外，他们绝无保护者。他们将受到加倍的惩罚。他们未能听从，也未观察。

你应当警告众人，将来要有这样的一日，刑罚将来临他们，而不义者将说：“我们的主啊！求你让我们延迟到一个临近的定期，以便我们响应你的号召，顺从你的使者。”难道你们以前没有发誓说，你们绝不会灭亡吗？

我的刑罚确是痛苦的。

前人确已用计谋，但真主把他们的建筑物彻底加以摧毁，而他们的屋顶落在他们的身上。刑罚从他们料想不到的地方来临他们。

使用诡计以作恶者，难道不怕真主使他们随地面而陷落，或刑罚从他们料想不到的地方来临他们吗？

他们族中的一个使者确已来临他们，但他们否认了他。在他们不义的情况下，刑罚袭击了他们。

当正道来临众人的时候，他们不信道，也不向他们的主求饶，那只是因为他们要等待（真主将）古人的常道显现于他们，或眼见刑罚来临他们。

你难道不知道吗？在天上的和在地上的，与日月群星，山岳树木，牲畜和许多人，都服从真主，有许多人当受刑罚。真主凌辱谁，谁不受人尊敬。真主确是为所欲为的。（此处叩头！）※

复活日要受加倍的刑罚，而受辱地永居其中。

但他们还是受了惩罚。此中确有一个迹象，但他们大半是不信道的。

他们要求你早日昭示刑罚，假若没有定期，那末刑罚必已降临他们。当他们不知不觉的时候，刑罚必定忽然降临他们。

在那日，刑罚将从他们的头上和脚下降临他们。他说：“你们尝试你们的行为的果报吧！”

先知的妻子们啊！你们中谁作了明显的丑事者，将受加倍的刑罚，这事对于真主是容易的。

在他们之前的人，（曾否认众使者），故刑罚从他们意想不到的地方来临他们。

在刑罚来临你们，而你们不获援助以前，你们当归依你们的主。

在刑罚不知不觉地忽然降临你们以前，你们应当遵从你们的主降示你们的最美的训辞。”

在那日，伪信的男女，将对信道的男女说：“请你们等候我们，让我们借你们的一点光辉！”有人将要对他们说：“你们转回去寻求光辉吧！”于是，彼此之间，筑起了一堵隔壁来，隔壁上有一道门，门内有恩惠，门外有刑罚。

刑罚就是那样的。后世的刑罚确是更重大的，假如他们知道。
