يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you yāayyuhā who alladhīna believe[d] āmanū (Do) not lā be takūnū like those who ka-alladhīna disbelieved kafarū and they said waqālū about their brothers li-ikh'wānihim when idhā they traveled ḍarabū in fī the earth l-arḍi or aw they were kānū fighting ghuzzan If law they had been kānū with us ʿindanā not mā they (would have) died mātū and not wamā they (would have) been killed qutilū So makes liyajʿala Allah l-lahu that dhālika a regret ḥasratan in fī their hearts qulūbihim And Allah wal-lahu gives life yuḥ'yī and causes death wayumītu and Allah wal-lahu of what bimā you do taʿmalūna (is) All-Seer baṣīrun
O you who have believed, do not be like those who disbelieved and said about their brothers when they traveled through the land or went out to fight, "If they had been with us, they would not have died or have been killed," so Allāh makes that [misconception] a regret within their hearts. And it is Allāh who gives life and causes death, and Allāh is Seeing of what you do.
وَلَئِن And if wala-in you are killed qutil'tum in fī (the) way sabīli (of) Allah l-lahi or aw die[d] muttum certainly forgiveness lamaghfiratun from mina Allah l-lahi and Mercy waraḥmatun (are) better khayrun than what mimmā they accumulate yajmaʿūna
And if you are killed in the cause of Allāh or die - then forgiveness from Allāh and mercy are better than whatever they accumulate [in this world].
وَلَئِن And if wala-in you die muttum or aw are killed qutil'tum surely to la-ilā Allah l-lahi you will be gathered tuḥ'sharūna
And whether you die or are killed, unto Allāh you will be gathered.
