The mutual rivalry for piling up (the good things of this world) diverts you (from the more serious things),
Saheeh International
Competition in [worldly] increase diverts you

Until ye visit the graves.
Saheeh International
Until you visit the graveyards.

Until ye come to the graves.

But nay, ye soon shall know (the reality).
Saheeh International
No! You are going to know.
Pickthall
Nay, but ye will come to know!
Yusuf Ali
Again, ye soon shall know!
Saheeh International
Then no! You are going to know.
Pickthall
Nay, but ye will come to know!
Yusuf Ali
Nay, were ye to know with certainty of mind, (ye would beware!)
Saheeh International
No! If you only knew with knowledge of certainty...
Pickthall
Nay, would that ye knew (now) with a sure knowledge!
Yusuf Ali
Ye shall certainly see Hell - Fire!
Saheeh International
You will surely see the Hellfire.

For ye will behold hell - fire.

Again, ye shall see it with certainty of sight!

Then you will surely see it with the eye of certainty.

Aye, ye will behold it with sure vision.
Yusuf Ali
Then, shall ye be questioned that Day about the joy (ye indulged in!).
Saheeh International
Then you will surely be asked that Day about pleasure.
Pickthall
Then, on that day, ye will be asked concerning pleasure.
