EnglishSaheeh International
Do they [i.e., the disbelievers] await except that the angels should come to them or there comes the command of your Lord? Thus did those do before them. And Allāh wronged them not, but they had been wronging themselves.

(ஆனால் அக்கிரமக்காரர்களோ) தங்களிடம் (உயிர்களைக் கைப்பற்றுவதற்காக) மலக்குகள் வருவதையோ, அல்லது உம் இறைவனுடைய (வேதனை தரும்) கட்டளை வருவதையோ தவிர வேறு எதை அவர்கள் எதிர் பார்க்கின்றனர்? இவர்களுக்கு முன்னிருந்தோரும் இவ்வாறே (அநியாயம்) செய்தார்கள்; இவர்களுக்கு அல்லாஹ் அநியாயம் எதுவும் செய்யவில்லை ஆனால் அவர்கள் தமக்குத் தாமே அநியாயம் செய்து கொண்டார்கள்.

ඔවුන් වෙත මලක්වරුන් පැමිණීම හෝ නුඹගේ පරමාධිපතිගේ නියෝගය පැමිණීම හෝ හැර වෙනෙකක් ඔවුහු බලාපොරොත්තු වන්නෝ ද? ඔවුනට පෙර සිටියවුන් සිදු කළේ ද මෙලෙස ම ය. අල්ලාහ් ඔවුනට අපරාධ නො කළේ ය. එනමුත් ඔවුහු ඔවුන්ට ම අපරාධ කර ගත්තෝ ය.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
کیا یہ اسی بات کا انتظار کر رہے ہیں کہ ان کے پاس فرشتے آجائیں یا تیرے رب کا حکم آجائے ؟ ایسا ہی ان لوگوں نے بھی کیا تھا جو ان سے پہلے تھے۔ ان پر اللہ تعالیٰ نے کوئی ﻇلم نہیں کیا بلکہ وه خود اپنی جانوں پر ﻇلم کرتے رہے.

かれら(不信者)は,天使たちがやって来て(かれらの魂を引き抜き),主の(処罰の)命令が下るまで待つ外はないのではないか。かれら以前にもそのような者もいた。しかしアッラーはかれらを不当に扱ったわけではない。だがかれらは自分自身を(不信心によって)害しただけである。
ChineseMa Jian
(不信道者)只能等待天神们来临他们,或等待你的主的命令降临。在他们之前的人就是这样做的。真主没有亏枉他们,但他们却亏枉了自己。

Tafsir of 16:33

The Disbelievers' Refrain from Faith means that They were simply awaiting Punishment Threatening the idolators for their persistence in falsehood and their conceited delusions about this world, Allah says: Are these people waiting only for the angels to come and take their souls Qatadah said: أَوْ يَأْتِىَ أَمْرُ رَبِّكَ (Or there comes the command of your Lord) means the Day of Resurrection and the terror that they will go through." كَذَلِكَ فَعَلَ الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ (Thus did those before them.) means, thus did their predecessors and those who were like them among the idolators persist in their Shirk, until they tasted the wrath of Allah and experienced the punishment and torment that they suffered. وَمَا ظَلَمَهُمُ اللَّهُ (And Allah did not wrong them.) because by sending His Messengers and revealing His Books He gave them enough warning and clearly demonstrated His proofs to them. وَلَكِن كَانُواْ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ (but they were wronging themselves.) meaning, by opposing the Messengers and denying what they brought. For this reason Allah's punishment tormented them. وَحَاقَ بِهِم (they were surrounded) meaning, they were overwhelmed by the painful torment.…
