يُونُس : ٢٣

  • فَلَمَّآ But when
  • أَنجَىٰهُمۡ He saved them
  • إِذَا behold
  • هُمۡ They
  • يَبۡغُونَ rebel
  • فِي in
  • ٱلۡأَرۡضِ the earth
  • بِغَيۡرِ without
  • ٱلۡحَقِّۗ [the] right
  • يَٰٓأَيُّهَا O mankind
  • ٱلنَّاسُ O mankind
  • إِنَّمَا Only
  • بَغۡيُكُمۡ your rebellion
  • عَلَىٰٓ (is) against
  • أَنفُسِكُمۖ yourselves
  • مَّتَٰعَ (the) enjoyment
  • ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ (of) the life
  • ٱلدُّنۡيَاۖ (of) the world
  • ثُمَّ Then
  • إِلَيۡنَا to Us
  • مَرۡجِعُكُمۡ (is) your return
  • فَنُنَبِّئُكُم and We will inform you
  • بِمَا of what
  • كُنتُمۡ you used (to)
  • تَعۡمَلُونَ do
But when He saves them, at once they commit injustice1 upon the earth without right. O mankind, your injustice is only against yourselves, [being merely] the enjoyment of worldly life. Then to Us is your return, and We will inform you of what you used to do.
Footnotes
1 By oppression and disobedience or by invoking others besides Allāh.
Yet when He has delivered them, behold! they are insolent in the earth wrongfully, by associating others with God. O mankind, your insolence, wrongdoing, is only against yourselves, since the sin thereof shall fall against them; it is [but], the enjoyment of the life of this world, which you will enjoy for a short while, then to Us is your return, after death, and We shall inform you of what you used to do, and then requite you for it (a variant reading [for nominative mataa'u] has accusative mataa'a, 'an enjoyment', in other words [read as with an omitted verb such as] tatamatta'oona, '[one which] you shall enjoy').
