طَاعَةٌ وَقَوْلٌ مَّعْرُوفٌ  ۚ فَإِذَا عَزَمَ ٱلْأَمْرُ فَلَوْ صَدَقُواْ ٱللَّهَ لَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَّهُمْ

Obedience and upright speech.... So when the matter has been resolved upon [concerning going to war], if they remain true to Allah that will surely be better for them.

فَهَلْ عَسَيْتُمْ إِن تَوَلَّيْتُمْ أَن تُفْسِدُواْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَتُقَطِّعُوٓاْ أَرْحَامَكُمْ

фəhəль 'əсəйтум иŋŋ-тəвəльлəйтум əŋŋ-туфсидуу фииль-əрды вəтуќōтты'уу əрhəəмəкум

May it not be that if you were to wield authority you would cause corruption in the land and ill-treat your blood relations?

أُوْلَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَعَنَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ فَأَصَمَّهُمْ وَأَعْمَىٰٓ أَبْصَٰرَهُمْ

уулəə`икəль-лəз̃иинə лə'əнəhумул-лаhу фə`əсōммəhум вə`ə'мəə əбсōōрōhум

They are the ones whom Allah has cursed, so He made them deaf, and blinded their sight.

أَفَلَا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ أَمْ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبٍ أَقْفَالُهَآ

əфəлəə йəтəдəббəруунəль-ќур`əəнə əм 'əлəə ќулююбин əќфəəлюhəə

Do they not contemplate the Quran, or are there locks on the hearts?

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱرْتَدُّواْ عَلَىٰٓ أَدْبَٰرِهِم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلْهُدَى ۙ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ سَوَّلَ لَهُمْ وَأَمْلَىٰ لَهُمْ

Indeed those who turned their backs after the guidance had become clear to them, it was Satan who had seduced them, and he had given them [far-flung] hopes.

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَالُواْ لِلَّذِينَ كَرِهُواْ مَا نَزَّلَ ٱللَّهُ سَنُطِيعُكُمْ فِى بَعْضِ ٱلْأَمْرِ  ۖ وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ إِسْرَارَهُمْ

That is because they said to those who loathed what Allah had sent down: ‘We shall obey you in some matters,’ and Allah knows their secret dealings.

فَكَيْفَ إِذَا تَوَفَّتْهُمُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ يَضْرِبُونَ وُجُوهَهُمْ وَأَدْبَٰرَهُمْ

фəкəйфə из̃əə тəвəффəтhумуль-мəлəə`икəту йəдрибуунə вуджууhəhум вə`əдбəəрōhум

But how will it be [with them] when the angels take them away, striking their faces and their backs?!

ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمُ ٱتَّبَعُواْ مَآ أَسْخَطَ ٱللَّهَ وَكَرِهُواْ رِضْوَٰنَهُۥ فَأَحْبَطَ أَعْمَٰلَهُمْ

That, because they pursued what displeased Allah, and loathed His pleasure. So He has made their works fail.

أَمْ حَسِبَ ٱلَّذِينَ فِى قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ أَن لَّن يُخْرِجَ ٱللَّهُ أَضْغَٰنَهُمْ

əм həсибəль-лəз̃иинə фии ќулююбиhим-мəрōдун əль-лэй-йухриджəл-лаhу əдґōōнəhум

Do those in whose hearts is a sickness suppose that Allah will not expose their spite?

وَلَوْ نَشَآءُ لَأَرَيْنَٰكَهُمْ فَلَعَرَفْتَهُم بِسِيمَٰهُمْ  ۚ وَلَتَعْرِفَنَّهُمْ فِى لَحْنِ ٱلْقَوْلِ  ۚ وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ أَعْمَٰلَكُمْ

If We wish, We will show them to you so that you recognize them by their mark. Yet you will recognize them by their tone of speech, and Allah knows your deeds.
