أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱشْتَرَوُا۟ ٱلضَّلَـٰلَةَ بِٱلْهُدَىٰ وَٱلْعَذَابَ بِٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ ۚ فَمَآ أَصْبَرَهُمْ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ

ulāika alladhīna ish'tarawū l-ḍalālata bil-hudā wal-ʿadhāba bil-maghfirati famā aṣbarahum ʿalā l-nāri

Those are the ones who have exchanged guidance for error and forgiveness for punishment. How patient they are for [i.e., in pursuit of] the Fire!

— Saheeh International

These are the ones who exchange guidance for error, and forgiveness for torment. What can make them patient in the face of the Fire?

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

Those are they who have purchased error at the price of Guidance, and torment at the price of Forgiveness. So how bold they are (for evil deeds which will push them) to the Fire.

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