وَيۡلٞ لِّلۡمُطَفِّفِينَ
Woe to those who give less [than due],[1]
1- i.e., those who cheat people by giving them less than what they paid for when weighing or measuring - an amount so little as to hardly be noticed.
Tarayya :
ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكۡتَالُواْ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسۡتَوۡفُونَ
Who, when they take a measure from people, take in full.
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمۡ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمۡ يُخۡسِرُونَ
But if they give by measure or by weight to them, they cause loss.
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبۡعُوثُونَ
Do they not think that they will be resurrected
لِيَوۡمٍ عَظِيمٖ
For a tremendous Day -
يَوۡمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
The Day when mankind will stand before the Lord of the worlds?
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلۡفُجَّارِ لَفِي سِجِّينٖ
No! Indeed, the record of the wicked is in sijjeen.
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّينٞ
And what can make you know what is sijjeen?
كِتَٰبٞ مَّرۡقُومٞ
It is [their destination[1] recorded in] a register inscribed.
1- The lowest depths of Hell.
وَيۡلٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لِّلۡمُكَذِّبِينَ
Woe, that Day, to the deniers,
ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ
Who deny the Day of Recompense.
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعۡتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ
And none deny it except every sinful transgressor.
إِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples."
كَلَّاۖ بَلۡۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ
No! Rather, the stain has covered their hearts of that which they were earning.[1]

1- i.e., they will not be able to see Him.
ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمۡ لَصَالُواْ ٱلۡجَحِيمِ
Then indeed, they will [enter and] burn in Hellfire.
ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِي كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ
Then it will be said [to them], "This is what you used to deny."
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارِ لَفِي عِلِّيِّينَ
No! Indeed, the record of the righteous is in Ôilliyy´n.
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ
And what can make you know what is Ôilliyy´n?
It is [their destination[1] recorded in] a register inscribed

يَشۡهَدُهُ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ
Which is witnessed by those brought near [to AllŒh].
إِنَّ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ
Indeed, the righteous will be in pleasure
عَلَى ٱلۡأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
On adorned couches, observing.
تَعۡرِفُ فِي وُجُوهِهِمۡ نَضۡرَةَ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
You will recognize in their faces the radiance of pleasure.
يُسۡقَوۡنَ مِن رَّحِيقٖ مَّخۡتُومٍ

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجۡرَمُواْ كَانُواْ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ يَضۡحَكُونَ
Indeed, those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed.
وَإِذَا مَرُّواْ بِهِمۡ يَتَغَامَزُونَ
And when they passed by them, they would exchange derisive glances.
