إِنَّمَا Only innamā the acceptance of repentance l-tawbatu by ʿalā Allah l-lahi (is) for those who lilladhīna do yaʿmalūna the evil l-sūa in ignorance bijahālatin then thumma they repent yatūbūna from min soon after qarībin Then those fa-ulāika will have forgiveness yatūbu (from) Allah l-lahu upon them ʿalayhim and is wakāna Allah l-lahu All-Knowing ʿalīman All-Wise ḥakīman
Dios solo perdona a quienes cometen el mal por ignorancia y se arrepienten antes de morir. A éstos Dios los absuelve porque es Sabio y todo lo sabe.
وَلَيْسَتِ And not walaysati (is) the acceptance of repentance l-tawbatu for those who lilladhīna do yaʿmalūna the evil deeds l-sayiāti until ḥattā when idhā approaches ḥaḍara one of them aḥadahumu [the] death l-mawtu he says qāla Indeed I innī repent tub'tu now l-āna and not walā those who alladhīna die yamūtūna while they wahum (are) disbelievers kuffārun Those ulāika We have prepared aʿtadnā for them lahum a punishment ʿadhāban painful alīman
Mas no serán perdonados quienes sigan obrando mal [por rebeldía contra Dios] hasta que les sorprenda la muerte y solo entonces digan: “Ahora me arrepiento”. Ni tampoco quienes mueran negando la verdad; a éstos les tenemos reservado un castigo doloroso.
