Indeed, the hypocrites [think to] deceive Allāh, but He is deceiving them. And when they stand for prayer, they stand lazily, showing [themselves to] the people and not remembering Allāh except a little,

நிச்சயமாக இந்நயவஞ்சகர்கள் அல்லாஹ்வை வஞ்சிக்க நினைக்கின்றனர். ஆனால் அவன் அவர்களை வஞ்சித்துவிடுவான். தொழுகைக்கு அவர்கள் தயாராகும் பொழுது சோம்பலுடையோராகவே நிற்கிறார்கள் - மனிதர்களுக்குத் (தங்களையும் தொழுகையாளியாக்கி) காண்பிப்பதற்காக (நிற்கிறார்கள்). இன்னும், மிகச் சொற்ப அளவேயன்றி அவர்கள் அல்லாஹ்வை நினைவு கூர்வதில்லை.

නියත වශයෙන් ම කුහකයින් අල්ලාහ්ව මුළා කරන්නට බලති. එහෙත් ඔහු ඔවුන් මුළාවෙහි හැර දමා ඇත. තවද ඔවුහු සලාතය සඳහා සිට ගත් විට ජනයාට පෙන්වමින් අලසකමින් සිට ගනිති. ඔවුහු අල්ලාහ්ව සුඵ වශයෙන් මිස මෙනෙහි නො කරති.

بے شک منافق اللہ سے چالبازیاں کر رہے ہیں اور وه انہیں اس چالبازی کا بدلہ دینے واﻻ ہے اور جب نماز کو کھڑے ہوتے ہیں تو بڑی کاہلی کی حالت میں کھڑے ہوتے ہیں صرف لوگوں کو دکھاتے ہیں، اور یاد الٰہی تو یوں ہی سی برائے نام کرتے ہیں۔

誠に偽信者は,アッラーを欺むこうとするが,かれはかえってかれらを欺むかれる。かれら が礼拝に立つ時は,物憂げに立ち,人に見せるためで,ほとんどアッラーを念じない。

伪信者,的确想欺骗真主,他将以他们的欺骗回报他们。当他们站起来去礼拜的时候,他们懒洋洋地站起来,他们沽名钓誉,他们只稍稍记念真主。

Tafsir of 4:142

The Hypocrites Try to Deceive Allah and Sway Between Believers and Disbelievers In the beginning of Surat Al-Baqarah 2, we mentioned Allah's statement, يُخَدِعُونَ اللَّهَ وَالَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا (They (think to) deceive Allah and those who believe). Here, Allah states, إِنَّ الْمُنَفِقِينَ يُخَدِعُونَ اللَّهَ وَهُوَ خَادِعُهُمْ (Verily, the hypocrites seek to deceive Allah, but it is He Who deceives them.) There is no doubt that Allah can never be deceived, for He has perfect knowledge of the secrets and what the hearts conceal.
