Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)

any way [to prevail] over the faithful.
142 The hypocrites indeed seek to deceive Allah,
but it is He who outwits them.
When they stand up for prayer,
they stand up lazily, showing off to the people
and not remembering Allah except a little,
143 wavering in between:
neither with these nor with those.
And whomever Allah leads astray,
you will never find any way for him.
144 O you who have faith!
Do not take the faithless for friends
instead of the faithful.
Do you wish to give Allah
a clear sanction against yourselves?
145 Indeed the hypocrites will be
in the lowest reach of the Fire,
and you will never find any helper for them,
146 except for those who repent and reform,
and hold fast to Allah
and dedicate their religion [exclusively] to Allah.
Those are with the faithful,
and soon Allah will give the faithful
a great reward.
147 Why should Allah punish you
if you give thanks and be faithful?
And Allah is appreciative, all-knowing.

148 Allah does not like
the disclosure of [anyone’s] evil [conduct]
