تَٱللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أُمَمٍ مِّن قَبْلِكَ فَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ فَهُوَ وَلِيُّهُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

EnglishSaheeh International
By Allāh, We did certainly send [messengers] to nations before you, but Satan made their deeds attractive to them. And he is their [i.e., the disbelievers] ally today [as well], and they will have a painful punishment.

அல்லாஹ்வின் மீது சத்தியமாக, உமக்கு முன்னிருந்த வகுப்பார்களுக்கும் நாம் (தூதர்களை) அனுப்பிவைத்தோம் - ஆனால் ஷைத்தான் அவர்களுக்கு அவர்களுடைய (தீய) செயல்களையே அழகாக்கி வைத்தான் - ஆகவே இன்றைய தினம் அவர்களுக்கும் அவனே உற்ற தோழனாக இருக்கின்றான் - இதனால் அவர்களுக்கு நோவினை செய்யும் வேதனையுண்டு.

අල්ලාහ් මත දිවුරමින්. නුඹට පෙර සිටම, සැබැවින් ම අපි සමූහයන් වෙත ධර්ම දූතයින් එව්වෙමු. එහෙත් ෂෙයිතාන් ඔවුන්ගේ ක්‍රියාවන් ඔවුන්ට අලංකාරවත් කළේ ය. එහෙයින් අද දින ඔවුන්ගේ භාරකරු ඔහු ය. තවද ඔවුනට වේදනීය දඬුවමක් ඇත.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
واللہ! ہم نے تجھ سے پہلے کی امتوں کی طرف بھی اپنے رسول بھیجے لیکن شیطان نے ان کے اعمال بد ان کی نگاہوں میں آراستہ کر دیئے ، وه شیطان آج بھی ان کا رفیق بنا ہوا ہے اور ان کے لیے درد ناک عذاب ہے.

誓って言うが,われはあなた以前にも,諸民族に(使徒たちを)遣わした。だが悪魔が(不義を教え)かれらの行いを正しいと思わせ,それで今日も,かれ(悪魔)がかれらの保護者である。かれらは痛ましい懲罰を受けるであろう。

指真主发誓,在你之前,我确已派遣许多使者去教化各民族;但恶魔以他们的行为迷惑他们,所以今天他是他们的保护者,他们将受痛苦的刑罚。

Tafsir of 16:63

Finding Consolation in the Reminder of Those Who came before Allah says, `He sent Messengers to the nations of the past, and they were rejected. You, O Muhammad, have an example in your brothers among the Messengers, so do not be distressed by your people's rejection.
