They took their [false] oaths as a cover, so they averted [people] from the way of Allāh, and for them is a humiliating punishment.

— Saheeh International

They have used their oaths to cover up [their false deeds], and barred others from the path of God. A humiliating torment awaits them-

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

They have made their oaths a screen (for their evil actions). Thus they hinder (men) from the Path of Allâh: so they shall have a humiliating torment.
