4:141

Those whoare waitingfor youThen ifwasfor youa victoryfromAllahthey sayWere notwewith youBut if(there) wasfor the disbelieversa chancethey saidDid notwe have advantageover youand we protected youfromﱘﱙthe believersAnd Allahwill judgebetween you(on the) Dayﱞﱟ(of) the Resurrectionand neverwill makeAllahfor the disbelieversoverthe believersa way(141)

˹The hypocrites are˺ those who wait to see what happens to you. So if Allah grants you victory, they say ˹to you˺, “Were we not on your side?” But if the disbelievers have a share ˹of victory˺, they say ˹to them˺, “Did we not have the advantage over you, yet we protected you from the believers?” Allah will judge between ˹all of˺ you on the Day of Judgment. And Allah will never grant the disbelievers a way over the believers.

4:142

Surely the hypocrites seek to deceive Allah, but He outwits them. When they stand up for prayer, they do it half-heartedly only to be seen by people—hardly remembering Allah at all.

4:143

Waveringbetweenthatﱿnottotheseand nottoﲄﲅthoseAnd whoeverhas been lead astray(by) Allah then neveryou will findfor hima way(143)

Torn between belief and disbelief—belonging neither to these ˹believers˺ nor those ˹disbelievers˺. And whoever Allah leaves to stray, you will never find for them a way.

4:144

O youwhobelieve[d](Do) nottakethe disbelievers(as) alliesfrominstead ofﲗﲘthe believersDo you wishthatyou makefor Allahagainst youan evidenceclear(144)

O believers! Do not take disbelievers as allies instead of the believers. Would you like to give Allah solid proof against yourselves?

4:145

Indeedthe hypocrites(will be) inthe depthsthe lowestofthe Fireand neveryou will findfor themany helper(145)

Surely the hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the Fire—and you will never find for them any helper—

4:146

Exceptthose whorepentand correct (themselves)and hold fastto Allahand are sincere(in) their religionfor Allahthen those (will be)withﲸﲹthe believersAnd soonwill be given(by) Allahthe believersa rewardﲿgreat(146)

except those who repent, mend their ways, hold fast to Allah, and are sincere in their devotion to Allah; they will be with the believers. And Allah will grant the believers a great reward.

4:147

Whatwould doAllahby punishing youifyou are gratefulﳇﳈand you believeAnd isAllahAll-AppreciativeAll-Knowing(147)

Why should Allah punish you if you are grateful and faithful? Allah is ever Appreciative, All-Knowing.
