مَا نُنَزِّلُ ٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةَ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَمَا كَانُوٓا۟ إِذًا مُّنظَرِينَ

mā nunazzilu l-malāikata illā bil-ḥaqi wamā kānū idhan munẓarīna

We do not send down the angels except with truth; and they [i.e., the disbelievers] would not then be reprieved.

— Saheeh International

But We send down the angels only to bring justice and then these people will not be reprieved.

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

We send not the angels down except with the truth (i.e. for torment), and in that case, they (the disbelievers) would have no respite!

— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
