P:  They swear by Allah to you (Muslims) to please you, but Allah, with His messenger, hath more right that they should please Him if they are believers.

S:  They swear to you by Allah that they might please you and, Allah, as well as His Messenger, has a greater right that they should please Him, if they are believers.

009.063 Y:  Know they not that for those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, is the Fire of Hell?- wherein they shall dwell.  That is the supreme disgrace.

P:  Know they not that whoso opposeth Allah and His messenger, his verily is fire of hell, to abide therein?  That is the extreme abasement.

S:  Do they not know that whoever acts in opposition to Allah and His Messenger, he shall surely have the fire of hell to abide in it?  That is the grievous abasement.

009.064 Y:  The Hypocrites are afraid lest a Sura should be sent down about them, showing them what is (really passing) in their hearts.  Say:  “Mock ye!  But verily Allah will bring to light all that ye fear (should be revealed).”

P:  The hypocrites fear lest a surah should be revealed concerning them, proclaiming what is in their hearts.  Say:  Scoff (your fill)!  Lo!  Allah is disclosing what ye fear.

S:  The hypocrites fear lest a Chapter should be sent down to them telling them plainly of what is in their hearts.  Say:  Go on mocking, surely Allah will bring forth what you fear.

009.065 Y:  If thou dost question them, they declare (with emphasis):  “We were only talking idly and in play.”  Say:  “Was it at Allah, and His Signs, and His Messenger, that ye were mocking?”

P:  And if thou ask them (O Muhammad) they will say:  We did but talk and jest.  Say:  Was it at Allah and His revelations and His messenger that ye did scoff?

S:  And if you should question them, they would certainly say:  We were only idly discoursing and sporting.  Say:  Was it at Allah and His communications and His Messenger that you mocked?

009.066 Y:  Make ye no excuses:  ye have rejected Faith after ye had accepted it.  If We pardon some of you, We will punish others amongst you, for that they are in sin.

P:  Make no excuse.  Ye have disbelieved after your (confession of) belief.  If We forgive a party of you, a party of you We shall punish because they have been guilty.

S:  Do not make excuses; you have denied indeed after you had believed; if We pardon a party of you, We will chastise (another) party because they are guilty.

009.067 Y:  The Hypocrites, men and women, (have an understanding) with each other:  They enjoin evil, and forbid what is just, and are close with their hands.  They have forgotten Allah; so He hath forgotten them.  Verily the Hypocrites are rebellious and perverse.

P:  The hypocrites, both men and women, proceed one from another.  They enjoin the wrong, and they forbid the right, and they withhold their hands (from spending for the cause of Allah).  They forget Allah, so He hath forgotten them.  Lo! the hypocrites, they are the transgressors.
