Those who take full measure ˹when they buy˺ from people,
...
83:3
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمۡ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمۡ يُخۡسِرُونَ
but give less when they measure or weigh for buyers.
...
83:4
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبۡعُوثُونَ

ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ
those who deny Judgment Day!

83:12
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعۡتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ
None would deny it except every evildoing transgressor.

83:13
إِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
Whenever Our revelations are recited to them, they say, “Ancient fables!”

كَلَّاۖ بَلۡۜ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُواْ يَكۡسِبُونَ
But no! In fact, their hearts have been stained by all ˹the evil˺ they used to commit!
...
83:15
كَلَّآ إِنَّهُمۡ عَن رَّبِّهِمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ لَّمَحۡجُوبُونَ

...
83:18
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارِ لَفِي عِلِّيِّينَ

...
83:19
وَمَآ أَدۡرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ
and what will make you realize what ’Illiyûn is?—
...
83:20
كِتَٰبٞ مَّرۡقُومٞ
a fate ˹already˺ sealed,
...
83:21
يَشۡهَدُهُ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ

إِنَّ ٱلۡأَبۡرَارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ
Surely the virtuous will be in bliss,
...
83:23
عَلَى ٱلۡأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
˹seated˺ on ˹canopied˺ couches, gazing around.
...
83:24
تَعۡرِفُ فِي وُجُوهِهِمۡ نَضۡرَةَ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
You will recognize on their faces the glow of delight.

...
83:26
خِتَٰمُهُۥ مِسۡكٞۚ وَفِي ذَٰلِكَ فَلۡيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلۡمُتَنَٰفِسُونَ

...
83:27
وَمِزَاجُهُۥ مِن تَسۡنِيمٍ
And this drink’s flavour will come from Tasnîm—
...
83:28
عَيۡنٗا يَشۡرَبُ بِهَا ٱلۡمُقَرَّبُونَ
a spring from which those nearest ˹to Allah˺ will drink.
...
83:29
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجۡرَمُواْ كَانُواْ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ يَضۡحَكُونَ
Indeed, the wicked used to laugh at the believers,
...
83:30
وَإِذَا مَرُّواْ بِهِمۡ يَتَغَامَزُونَ
wink to one another whenever they passed by,
...
83:31
وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓاْ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُواْ فَكِهِينَ
and muse ˹over these exploits˺ upon returning to their own people.
...
83:32
وَإِذَا رَأَوۡهُمۡ قَالُوٓاْ إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ
And when they saw the faithful, they would say, “These ˹people˺ are truly astray,”
...
83:33
وَمَآ أُرۡسِلُواْ عَلَيۡهِمۡ حَٰفِظِينَ
even though they were not sent as keepers over the believers.

فَٱلۡيَوۡمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مِنَ ٱلۡكُفَّارِ يَضۡحَكُونَ
But on that Day the believers will be laughing at the disbelievers,
...
83:35
عَلَى ٱلۡأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
as they sit on ˹canopied˺ couches, looking on.
...
83:36
هَلۡ ثُوِّبَ ٱلۡكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُواْ يَفۡعَلُونَ
˹The believers will be asked,˺ “Have the disbelievers ˹not˺ been paid back for what they used to do?”
...
