Leave those alone who have made a sport and frolic of their faith, and have been seduced by the life of this world. Remind them hereby lest a man is doomed for what he has done. He will have none to help him, or intercede for him, other than God; and even if he offer all the ransoms they will not be accepted from him. They are those who will be destroyed by their own acts. There will be scalding water to drink for them and painful punishment, for they had disbelieved.
و كسانى را كه دين خود را به بازى و سرگرمى گرفتند و زندگى دنيا آنان را فريفته است، رها كن؛ و [مردم را] به وسيله اين [قرآن‌] اندرز ده؛ مبادا كسى به [كيفر] آنچه كسب كرده به هلاكت افتد، در حالى كه براى او در برابر خدا يارى و شفاعتگرى نباشد؛ و اگر [براى رهايى خود] هر گونه فديه‌اى دهد، از او پذيرفته نگردد. اينانند كه به [سزاى‌] آنچه كسب كرده‌اند به هلاكت افتاده‌اند، و به [كيفر] آنكه كفر مى‌ورزيدند، شرابى از آب جوشان و عذابى پر درد خواهند داشت.
