30:57

فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا يَنفَعُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ مَعْذِرَتُهُمْ وَلَا هُمْ يُسْتَعْتَبُونَ

fayawma-idhin lā yanfaʿu alladhīna ẓalamū maʿdhiratuhum walā hum yus'taʿtabūna

So that Day, their excuse will not benefit those who wronged, nor will they be asked to appease [Allāh].

— Saheeh International

On that Day the evildoers’ excuses will be of no use to them: they will not be allowed to make amends.

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

So on that Day no excuse of theirs will avail those who did wrong (by associating partners in worship with Allâh, and by denying the Day of Resurrection), nor will they be allowed (then) to return to seek Allâh’s Pleasure (by having Islâmic Faith with righteous deeds and by giving up polytheism, sins and crimes with repentance).

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