Translation
They will make excuses to you when you have returned to them. Say, "Make no excuse - never will we believe you. Allāh has already informed us of your news [i.e., affair]. And Allāh will observe your deeds, and [so will] His Messenger; then you will be taken back to the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed,1 and He will inform you of what you used to do."

Tafsir
They will make excuses to you, for having stayed behind, when you return to them, from the campaign. Say, to them: 'Do not make excuses; we will never believe you! God has already told us tidings of you, that is, He has already informed us of your [true] status. And God will see your work, and [so will] His Messenger, then you will be returned, through resurrection, to the Knower of the unseen and the visible, meaning [to] God, and He will tell you what you used to do', and requite you for it.
"Exposing the Deceitful Ways of Hypocrites
Allah tells;
يَعْتَذِرُونَ إِلَيْكُمْ إِذَا رَجَعْتُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ
They (the hypocrites) will present their excuses to you (Muslims), when you return to them.
Allah said that when the believers go back to Al-Madinah, the hypocrites will begin apologizing to them.
قُل لاَّ تَعْتَذِرُواْ لَن نُّوْمِنَ لَكُمْ
Say ""Present no excuses, we shall not believe you.""
we shall not believe what you say,
قَدْ نَبَّأَنَا اللّهُ مِنْ أَخْبَارِكُمْ
Allah has already informed us of the news concerning you.
Allah has exposed your news to us,
وَسَيَرَى اللّهُ عَمَلَكُمْ وَرَسُولُهُ
Allah and His Messenger will observe your deeds.
your actions will be made public to people in this life,
ثُمَّ تُرَدُّونَ إِلَى عَالِمِ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ فَيُنَبِّيُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
In the end you will be brought back to the All-Knower of the unseen and the seen, then He (Allah) will inform you of what you used to do.
Allah will inform you of your deeds, whether they were good or evil, and will recompense you for them.
Then Allah says;
سَيَحْلِفُونَ بِاللّهِ لَكُمْ إِذَا انقَلَبْتُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ لِتُعْرِضُواْ عَنْهُمْ فَأَعْرِضُواْ عَنْهُمْ إِنَّهُمْ رِجْسٌ وَمَأْوَاهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ
They will swear by Allah to you (Muslims) when you return to them, that you may turn away from them. So turn away from them. Surely, they are Rijs (impure), and Hell is their dwelling place --
Allah said that the hypocrites will swear to the believers in apology, so that the believers turn away from them without admonishing them. Therefore, Allah ordered disgracing them by turning away from them, for they are,
رِجْسٌ
(Rijs) meaning,
impure inwardly and in their creed.
Their destination in the end will be Jahannam,
جَزَاء بِمَا كَانُواْ يَكْسِبُونَ
a recompense for that which they used to earn.
of sins and evil deeds
يَحْلِفُونَ لَكُمْ لِتَرْضَوْاْ عَنْهُمْ فَإِن تَرْضَوْاْ عَنْهُمْ
They (the hypocrites) swear to you (Muslims) that you may be pleased with them, but if you are pleased with them,
Allah said that if the believers forgive the hypocrites when they swear to them,
فَإِنَّ اللّهَ لَا يَرْضَى عَنِ الْقَوْمِ الْفَاسِقِينَ
certainly Allah is not pleased with the people who are Fasiqin.
who rebel against the obedience of Allah and His Messenger.
Fisq, means, `deviation'."
