Translations

Pickthall — Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall

And if each soul that doeth wrong had all that is in the earth it would seek to ransom itself therewith; and they will feel remorse within them, when they see the doom. But it hath been judged between them fairly and they are not wronged.

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Every soul that hath sinned, if it possessed all that is on earth, would fain give it in ransom: They would declare (their) repentance when they see the penalty: but the judgment between them will be with justice, and no wrong will be done unto them.

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

ثم أخبر تعالى أنه إذا قامت القيامة يود الكافر لو افتدى من عذاب الله بملء الأرض ذهبا ، ( وأسروا الندامة لما رأوا العذاب وقضي بينهم بالقسط ) أي : بالحق ، ( وهم لا يظلمون ) .
