Yusuf Ali
Say to the Unbelievers, if (now) they desist (from Unbelief), their past would be forgiven them; but if they persist, the punishment of those before them is already (a matter of warning for them).
Sahih International
Say to those who have disbelieved [that] if they cease, what has previously occurred will be forgiven for them. But if they return [to hostility] - then the precedent of the former [rebellious] peoples has already taken place.
Shakir
Say to those who disbelieve, if they desist, that which is past shall be forgiven to them; and if they return, then what happened to the ancients has already passed.
Pickthall
Tell those who disbelieve that if they cease (from persecution of believers) that which is past will be forgiven them; but if they return (thereto) then the example of the men of old hath already gone (before them, for a warning).
محمد جالندھری
(اے پیغمبر) کفار سے کہہ دو کہ اگر وہ اپنے افعال سے باز آجائیں تو جو ہوچکا وہ انہیں معاف کردیا جائے گا۔ اور اگر پھر (وہی حرکات) کرنے لگیں گے تو اگلے لوگوں کا (جو) طریق جاری ہوچکا ہے (وہی ان کے حق میں برتا جائے گا)
