وَلَوْ And if walaw Allah (had) willed shāa Allah (had) willed l-lahu surely He (could) have made you lajaʿalakum a nation ummatan one wāḥidatan but walākin He lets go astray yuḍillu whom man He wills yashāu and guides wayahdī whom man He wills yashāu And surely you will be questioned walatus'alunna about what ʿammā you used (to) kuntum do taʿmalūna
And if Allāh had willed, He could have made you [of] one religion, but He sends astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And you will surely be questioned about what you used to do.
وَلَا And (do) not walā take tattakhidhū your oaths aymānakum (as) a deception dakhalan between you baynakum lest, should slip fatazilla a foot qadamun after baʿda it is firmly planted thubūtihā and you would taste watadhūqū the evil l-sūa for what bimā you hindered ṣadadttum from ʿan (the) way sabīli (of) Allah l-lahi and for you walakum (is) a punishment ʿadhābun great ʿaẓīmun
And do not take your oaths as [means of] deceit between you, lest a foot slip after it was [once] firm, and you would taste evil [in this world] for what [people] you diverted from the way of Allāh, and you would have [in the Hereafter] a great punishment.
وَلَا And (do) not walā exchange tashtarū the covenant biʿahdi (of) Allah l-lahi (for) a price thamanan little qalīlan Indeed, what innamā (is) with ʿinda Allah l-lahi it huwa (is) better khayrun for you lakum if in you were (to) kuntum know taʿlamūna
And do not exchange the covenant of Allāh for a small price. Indeed, what is with Allāh is best for you, if only you could know.
مَا Whatever mā (is) with you ʿindakum will be exhausted yanfadu and whatever wamā (is) with ʿinda Allah l-lahi (will) be remaining bāqin And surely We will pay walanajziyanna those who alladhīna (are) patient ṣabarū their reward ajrahum to (the) best bi-aḥsani (of) what mā they used (to) kānū do yaʿmalūna
Whatever you have will end, but what Allāh has is lasting. And We will surely give those who were patient their reward according to the best of what they used to do.
