Translation

EN

But their professing the Faith when they (actually) saw Our Punishment was not going to profit them. (Such has been) Allah's Way of dealing with His Servants (from the most ancient times). And even thus did the Rejecters of Allah perish (utterly)!

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

but believing after seeing Our punishment did not benefit them at all- this has always been God’s way of dealing with His creatures- there and then the disbelievers were lost.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleemall-rights-reserved

But their faith could not avail them when they saw Our doom. This is Allah's law which hath ever taken course for His bondmen. And then the disbelievers will be ruined.

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

But never did their faith benefit them once they saw Our punishment. [It is] the established way of Allāh which has preceded among His servants. And the disbelievers thereupon lost [all].

Ama, Bizim şiddetli azabımızı görüp de öyle inanmaları kendilerine fayda vermedi. Bu, Allah'ın kulları hakkında, öteden beri yürürlükte olan yasasıdır. İşte inkarcılar o zaman hüsranda kaldılar.

Diyanet İşleriall-rights-reserved

Ama hışmımızı gördükleri zamanki imanları kendilerine fayda verecek değildi. Allah'ın, kulları hakkındaki geçe gelen kanunu budur. İşte kâfirler bu noktada hüsrana düştüler.

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain

Allah’ın kulları hakkında süregelen kanunu olarak azabımızı gördükleri zaman (o anki) imanları, kendilerine yarar sağlamamış (olacak)tır. Kâfirler, orada kaybedeceklerdir.

AR

فلم يك ينفعهم إيمانهم هذا حين رأوا عذابنا؛ وذلك لأنه إيمان قد اضطروا إليه، لا إيمان اختيار ورغبة، سنة الله وطريقته التي سنَّها في الأمم كلها أن لا ينفعها الإيمان إذا رأوا العذاب، وهلك عند مجيء بأس الله الكافرون بربهم، الجاحدون توحيده وطاعته.
