Let these hypocrites, who failed to strive in Allah’s path, laugh a little in their temporary life of the world and let them cry much in their everlasting life of the Afterlife in return for the disbelief and sins they committed in the world.
Let them laugh a little and weep a lot as a recompense for what they used to do.
So let them laugh a little and (they will) cry much as a recompense of what they used to earn (by committing sins).
Then let them laugh a little: they will weep much, as the reward of what they used to earn.
Let them laugh a little: much will they weep: a recompense for the (evil) that they do.
Therefore they shall laugh little and weep much as a recompense for what they earned.
So, let them laugh a little and weep much in recompense for what they have been earning..
وَنَادَوْا۟ يَٰمَٰلِكُ لِيَقْضِ عَلَيْنَا رَبُّكَ قَالَ إِنَّكُم مَّٰكِثُونَ
And they will call, "O Mālik, let your Lord put an end to us!" He will say, "Indeed, you will remain."
They share a sequence of words with this verse: useful for telling them apart when memorising.
جَزَآءًۢ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ
As reward for what they used to do.
سَيَحْلِفُونَ بِٱللَّهِ لَكُمْ إِذَا ٱنقَلَبْتُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ لِتُعْرِضُوا۟ عَنْهُمْ فَأَعْرِضُوا۟ عَنْهُمْ إِنَّهُمْ رِجْسٌ وَمَأْوَىٰهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ جَزَآءًۢ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ
They will swear by Allāh to you when you return to them that you would leave them alone. So leave them alone; indeed they are evil; and their refuge is Hell as recompense for what they had been earning.
