So the odious (deeds) that they did afflicted them, and that which they used to mock (Or: they were mocking) redounded on them.
فأصابهم سيئات ما عملوا وحاق بهم ما كانوا به يستهزئون
-
So Allah protected him against the odious (things) of their scheming, and an odious torment redounded on the house of Firaawn: (Pharaoh).
فوقاه الله سيئات ما مكروا وحاق بآل فرعون سوء العذاب
-
And the odious deeds that they have done will appear to them, and that which they used to mock will redound on them.
وبدا لهم سيئات ما عملوا وحاق بهم ما كانوا به يستهزئون
-
So, as soon as their Messengers came to them with the supreme evidence (s), they exulted with what knowledge was in their presence, and what they used to mock at redounded on them.
فلما جاءتهم رسلهم بالبينات فرحوا بما عندهم من العلم وحاق بهم ما كانوا به يستهزئون
-
And indeed in case We defer the torment from them till an (already) fixed round, (Literally: already numbered nation) indeed they will definitely say, "What is detaining it?" Verily, the day it will come up to them, it will not be turned about from them, and whatever they used to mock at will redound on them.
ولئن أخرنا عنهم العذاب إلى أمة معدودة ليقولن ما يحبسه ألا يوم يأتيهم ليس مصروفا عنهم وحاق بهم ما كانوا به يستهزئون
-
And indeed We already established them in that wherein We have not established you; (Or: in case We have firmly established you, (you might be like them) and We made for them hearing, and beholdings, (i.e., eyesight (s) and heart-sights; yet in no way did their hearing, and their beholdings and their heart-sights avail them anything whatever, as they used to repudiate the signs of Allah; and whatever they used to mock at redounded on them.
ولقد مكناهم فيما إن مكناكم فيه وجعلنا لهم سمعا وأبصارا وأفئدة فما أغنى عنهم سمعهم ولا أبصارهم ولا أفئدتهم من شيء إذ كانوا يجحدون بآيات الله وحاق بهم ما كانوا به يستهزئون
-
And indeed Messengers were already mocked at even before you; then what they were scoffing at redounded upon the ones who mocked at them.
ولقد استهزئ برسل من قبلك فحاق بالذين سخروا منهم ما كانوا به يستهزئون
-
For this Council to fail them when such appeals are made will surely erode faith in the system; it will redound to no one's benefit.
أما أن يخذلهم هذا المجلس عندما يتوجهون إليه بمثل هذه النداءات فإن ذلك سيؤدي بالتأكيد إلى إضعاف الإيمان بالنظام؛ ولن يكون ذلك في مصلحة أحد.
-
And Messengers even before you were indeed already mocked at, then whatever (the disbelievers) mocked at redounded upon the ones (i.e., the disbelievers) who scoffed at them. (The Messengers)
ولقد استهزئ برسل من قبلك فحاق بالذين سخروا منهم ما كانوا به يستهزئون
