EnglishSaheeh International
But repentance is not [accepted] of those who [continue to] do evil deeds up until, when death comes to one of them, he says, "Indeed, I have repented now," or of those who die while they are disbelievers. For them We have prepared a painful punishment.

இன்னும் எவர்கள் தீவினைகளைத் (தொடர்ந்து) செய்து கொண்டேயிருந்து, முடிவில் அவர்களை மரணம் நெருங்கிய போது, "நிச்சயமாக இப்பொழுது நான் (பாவங்களுக்காக வருந்தி) மன்னிப்புத் தேடுகிறேன்" என்று கூறுகின்றார்களோ, அவர்களுக்கும், எவர் காஃபிர்களாகவே மரிக்கிறார்களோ அவர்களுக்கும் பாவமன்னிப்பு இல்லை, இத்தகையோருக்குத் துன்பம் கொடுக்கும் வேதனையையே நாம் சித்தப்படுத்தி வைத்துள்ளோம்.

ඔවුන්ගෙන් කෙනෙකු වෙත මරණය පැමිණෙන තෙක් ඔවුන් නපුරුකම් කර “දැන් මම පාපක්ෂමාව අයැදිමි” යැයි පවසන්නන්ට පාපක්ෂමාව නොමැත. එමෙන් ම ප්‍රතික්ෂේපකයින් ලෙස සිටිය දී මරණයට පත්වන්නන්ට ද (පාපක්ෂමාව) නොමැත. අපි වේදනා සහගත දඬුවමක් ඔවුන්ට සූදානම් කර ඇත්තෙමු.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
ان کی توبہ نہیں جو برائیاں کرتے چلے جائیں یہاں تک کہ جب ان میں سے کسی کے پاس موت آجائے تو کہہ دے کہ میں نے اب توبہ کی ، اور ان کی توبہ بھی قبول نہیں جو کفر پر ہی مر جائیں، یہی لوگ ہیں جن کے لئے ہم نے المناک عذاب تیار کر رکھا ہے۔

だが,死に臨むまで悪行を続け,その時になって「今悔い改めます。」と言う者,また不信心のまま死ぬ者の悔悟は御赦しになられない。かれらのために,われは痛苦の懲罰を準備してある。

终身作恶,临死才说:现在我确已悔罪的人,不蒙赦宥;临死还不信道的人,也不蒙赦宥。这等人,我已为他们预备了痛苦的刑罚。

Repentance is Accepted Until one Faces death Allah states that He accepts repentance of the servant who commits an error in ignorance and then repents, even just before he sees the angel who captures the soul, before his soul reaches his throat. Mujahid and others said, "Every person who disobeys Allah by mistake, or intentionally is ignorant, until he refrains from the sin."
