Word by word

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَيَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلْمَسْجِدِ ٱلْحَرَامِ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلْنَـٰهُ لِلنَّاسِ سَوَآءً ٱلْعَـٰكِفُ فِيهِ وَٱلْبَادِ ۚ وَمَن يُرِدْ فِيهِ بِإِلْحَادٍۭ بِظُلْمٍ نُّذِقْهُ مِنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

Indeed, those who have disbelieved and avert [people] from the way of Allāh and [from] al-Masjid al-Ḥarām, which We made for the people - equal are the resident therein and one from outside - and [also] whoever intends [a deed] therein of deviation [in religion] by wrongdoing - We will make him taste of a painful punishment.

إن الذين كفروا بالله، وكذبوا بما جاءهم به محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم، ويمنعون غيرهم من الدخول في دين الله، ويصدون رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم والمؤمنين في عام «الحديبية» عن المسجد الحرام، الذي جعلناه لجميع المؤمنين، سواء المقيم فيه والقادم إليه، لهم عذاب أليم موجع، ومن يرد في المسجد الحرام الميْلَ عن الحق ظلمًا فيَعْصِ الله فيه، نُذِقْه مِن عذاب أليم موجع.
