Muhammad Asad
And then those followers shall say: "Would that we had a second chance [in life], so that we could disown them as they have disowned us!" Thus will God show them their works [in a manner that will cause them] batter regrets; but they will not come out of the fire
Arthur John Arberry
and those that followed say, 'O if only we might return again and disown them, as they have disowned us!' Even so God shall show them their works. O bitter regrets for them! Never shall they issue from the Fire
Yusuf Ali (Saudi Rev. 1985)
And those who followed would say: "If only We had one more chance, We would clear ourselves of them, as they have cleared themselves of us." Thus will Allah show them (The fruits of) their deeds as (nothing but) regrets. Nor will there be a way for them out of the Fire
Arabic
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِینَ ٱتَّبَعُوا۟ لَوۡ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةࣰ فَنَتَبَرَّأَ مِنۡهُمۡ كَمَا تَبَرَّءُوا۟ مِنَّاۗ كَذَ ٰلِكَ یُرِیهِمُ ٱللَّهُ أَعۡمَـٰلَهُمۡ حَسَرَ ٰتٍ عَلَیۡهِمۡۖ وَمَا هُم بِخَـٰرِجِینَ مِنَ ٱلنَّارِ ١٦٧
