2 Those who when they take the measure from mankind demand it full,

2 Those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, demand full measure,

2 Who, when they take a measure from people, take in full.

3 But if they measure unto them or weight for them, they cause them loss.

3 And when they have to give by measure or weight to (other) men, give less than due.

26 Whose seal is musk - for this let (all) those strive who strive for bliss -

26 The last thereof (that wine) will be the smell of Musk, and for this let (all) those strive who want to strive (i.e. hasten earnestly to the obedience of Allah).

26 The last of it is musk. So for this let the competitors compete.

27 And mixed with water of Tasnim,

27 It (that wine) will be mixed with Tasnim:

27 And its mixture is of Tasneem,

28 A spring whence those brought near (to Allah) drink.

28 A spring whereof drink those nearest to Allah.

28 A spring from which those near [to Allah] drink.

29 Lo! the guilty used to laugh at those who believed,

29 Verily, (during the worldly life) those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed.

29 Indeed, those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed.

30 And wink one to another when they passed them;

30 And, whenever they passed by them, used to wink one to another (in mockery).

30 And when they passed by them, they would exchange derisive glances.

31 And when they returned to their own folk, they returned jesting;

31 And when they returned to their own people, they would return jesting;

31 And when they returned to their people, they would return jesting.

32 And when they saw them they said: Lo! these have gone astray.

32 And when they saw them, they said: "Verily these have indeed gone astray!"

32 And when they saw them, they would say, "Indeed, those are truly lost."

33 Yet they were not sent as guardians over them.

33 But they (disbelievers, sinners) had not been sent as watchers over them (the believers).

33 But they had not been sent as guardians over them.

34 This day it is those who believe who have the laugh of disbelievers,

34 But this Day (the Day of Resurrection) those who believe will laugh at the disbelievers

34 So Today those who believed are laughing at the disbelievers,

35 On high couches, gazing.

35 On (high) thrones, looking (at all things).

35 On adorned couches, observing.

36 Are not the disbelievers paid for what they used to do ?

36 Are not the disbelievers paid (fully) for what they used to do?

36 Have the disbelievers [not] been rewarded [this Day] for what they used to do?
