| Al Bilal Muhammad Et Al When angels take the souls of those who die harming their souls, they say, “In what condition were you in?” They will reply, “Weak and oppressed were we in the earth.” They say, “Was not the earth of God spacious enough for you to move yourselves away from wrong?” Such people will find their abode in hell, what a terrible place |

| Ali Unal As to those whose souls the angels (charged with taking the souls of people) take in the state of wronging themselves (by continuing to live in unbelief without suffering to emigrate to a land where they would be able to attain faith): They (the angels) ask them: "What situation were you in (so that you were not with the believers)?"

Such are those whose refuge is Hell: how evil a destination to arrive at |

| Literal That those the angels make them die, unjust (to) themselves, they said: "In what you were/have been?" They said: "We were weakened in the Earth/land."

| Mir Anees Original Certainly, (when) the angels will cause to die those who were unjust to themselves, they will ask, "In what (state) were you?" They will reply, "We were weak in the earth."
