وَلَا تُطِعۡ كُلَّ حَلَّافٖ مَّهِينٍ
And do not obey every worthless habitual swearer
هَمَّازٖ مَّشَّآءِۭ بِنَمِيمٖ
[And] scorner, going about with malicious gossip -
مَّنَّاعٖ لِّلۡخَيۡرِ مُعۡتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ
A preventer of good, transgressing and sinful,
عُتُلِّۭ بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ زَنِيمٍ
Cruel, moreover, and an illegitimate pretender.
أَن كَانَ ذَا مَالٖ وَبَنِينَ
Because he is a possessor of wealth and children,
إِذَا تُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
When Our verses are recited to him, he says, "Legends of the former peoples."
سَنَسِمُهُۥ عَلَى ٱلۡخُرۡطُومِ
We will brand him upon the snout.
إِنَّا بَلَوۡنَٰهُمۡ كَمَا بَلَوۡنَآ أَصۡحَٰبَ ٱلۡجَنَّةِ إِذۡ أَقۡسَمُواْ لَيَصۡرِمُنَّهَا مُصۡبِحِينَ
Indeed, We have tried them as We tried the companions of the garden, when they swore to cut its fruit in the [early] morning
وَلَا يَسۡتَثۡنُونَ
Without making exception.
