لَا تَحْسَبَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَفْرَحُونَ بِمَآ أَتَوا۟ وَّيُحِبُّونَ أَن يُحْمَدُوا۟ بِمَا لَمْ يَفْعَلُوا۟ فَلَا تَحْسَبَنَّهُم بِمَفَازَةٍ مِّنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ۖ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

EnglishSaheeh International
And never think that those who rejoice in what they have perpetrated and like to be praised for what they did not do - never think them [to be] in safety from the punishment, and for them is a painful punishment.

எவர் தாம் செய்த (சொற்பமான)தைப்பற்றி மகிழ்ச்சி கொண்டும்; தாம் செய்யாததை (செய்ததாகக் காட்டிக்) கொண்டு புகழ்படவேண்டும் என்று விருப்புகிறார்களோ, அவர்கள் வேதனையிலிருந்து வெற்றியடைந்து விட்டார்கள் என்று (நபியே!) நீர் ஒரு போதும் எண்ணாதீர் - அவர்களுக்கு நோவினை தரும் வேதனையுண்டு.

(නබිවරය!) තමන් ගෙන ආ දෑ පිළිබඳ සතුටු වන අය ගැන හා තමන් නො කළ දෑ පිළිබඳව ප්‍රශංසා කරනු ලැබීම ප්‍රිය කරනවුන් ගැන නුඹ නො සිතනු. එමෙන් ම දඬුවමින් (මිදී) ජයග්‍රහණය ඔවුනට තිබේ යැයි නුඹ නො සිතනු. තවද ඔවුනට වේදනීය දඬුවමක් ද ඇත.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
وه لوگ جو اپنے کرتوتوں پر خوش ہیں اور چاہتے ہیں کہ جو انہوں نے نہیں کیا اس پر بھی ان کی تعریفیں کی جائیں آپ انہیں عذاب سے چھٹکارا میں نہ سمجھئے ان کے لئے تو دردناک عذاب ہے.

自分の行ったことを誇る者,また行わないのに,称讃されるのを好む者のことなど考えてはならない。これらの者が,懲罰を免れると考えてはならない。かれらは厳しい懲罰を受けるであ ろう。
ChineseMa Jian
有些人对于自己做过的事,洋洋得意;对于自己未曾做过的事,爱受赞颂,你绝不要认为他们将脱离刑罚,其实,他们将受痛苦的刑罚。

Tafsir of 3:188

Chastising the People of the Scriptures for Breaking the Covenant and Hiding the Truth In this Ayah, Allah chastises the People of the Scriptures, from whom Allah took the covenant by the words of their Prophets, that they would believe in Muhammad ﷺ and describe him to the people, so that they would recognize and follow him when Allah sent him.

This is a losing deal and a failing trade, indeed. These Ayat also contain a warning for the scholars not to imitate their behavior, so that they do not suffer the same fate and become like them.

They are also warned against hiding any part of their knowledge.…
