أُولَاهُمَاūlāhumā
(for) the first of the two,

(of) the homes,
وَكَانَwakāna
and (it) was
وَعْدًاwaʿdan
a promise
مَفْعُولًاmafʿūlan
fulfilled.
When the first of these warnings was fulfilled, We sent against you servants of Ours with great force, and they ravaged your homes. That warning was fulfilled,

ثُمَّthumma
Then
رَدَدْنَاradadnā
We gave back
لَكُمُlakumu
to you
الْكَرَّةَl-karata
the return victory
عَلَيْهِمْʿalayhim
over them.
وَأَمْدَدْنَاكُمْwa-amdadnākum
And We reinforced you
بِأَمْوَالٍbi-amwālin

and sons
وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْwajaʿalnākum
and made you
أَكْثَرَakthara
more
نَفِيرًاnafīran

إِنْin
If
أَحْسَنْتُمْaḥsantum
you do good,
أَحْسَنْتُمْaḥsantum
you do good
لِأَنْفُسِكُمْli-anfusikum
for yourselves;
وَإِنْwa-in
and if
أَسَأْتُمْasatum
you do evil,
فَلَهَاfalahā
then it is for it.
فَإِذَاfa-idhā
So when
جَاءَjāa
came
وَعْدُwaʿdu
promise
الْءَاخِرَةِl-ākhirati
the last,
لِيَسُوءُواliyasūū
to sadden
وُجُوهَكُمْwujūhakum
your faces
وَلِيَدْخُلُواwaliyadkhulū
and to enter
الْمَسْجِدَl-masjida
the Masjid
كَمَاkamā
just as
دَخَلُوهُdakhalūhu
they (had) entered it
أَوَّلَawwala
first
مَرَّةٍmarratin
time,
وَلِيُتَبِّرُواwaliyutabbirū
and to destroy
مَاmā
what
عَلَوْاʿalaw
they had conquered
تَتْبِيرًاtatbīran
(with) destruction.
whether you do good or evil it is to your own souls––and when the second warning was fulfilled [We sent them] to shame your faces and enter the place of worship as they did the first time, and utterly destroy whatever fell into their power.

عَسَىʿasā
"(It) may be
رَبُّكُمْrabbukum
that your Lord

وَإِنْwa-in
But if
عُدْتُمْʿudttum
you return,
عُدْنَاʿud'nā
We will return.
وَجَعَلْنَاwajaʿalnā
And We have made
جَهَنَّمَjahannama
Hell,
لِلْكَافِرِينَlil'kāfirīna
for the disbelievers,
حَصِيرًاḥaṣīran
a prison-bed."
Your Lord may yet have mercy on you, but if you do the same again, so shall We: We have made Hell a prison for those who defy [Our warning].
