Marmaduke Pickthall
Is he, the evil of whose deeds is made fairseeming unto him so that he deemeth it good, (other than Satan's dupe)? Allah verily sendeth whom He will astray, and guideth whom He will; so let not thy soul expire in sighings for them. Lo! Allah is Aware of what they do!

Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Is he, then, to whom the evil of his conduct is made alluring, so that he looks upon it as good, (equal to one who is rightly guided)? For Allah leaves to stray whom He wills, and guides whom He wills. So let not thy soul go out in (vainly) sighing after them: for Allah knows well all that they do!

Maka apakah orang yang dijadikan (syaitan) menganggap baik pekerjaannya yang buruk lalu dia meyakini pekerjaan itu baik, (sama dengan orang yang tidak ditipu oleh syaitan)? Maka sesungguhnya Allah menyesatkan siapa yang dikehendaki-Nya dan menunjuki siapa yang dikehendaki-Nya; maka janganlah dirimu binasa karena kesedihan terhadap mereka. Sesungguhnya Allah Maha Mengetahui apa yang mereka perbuat.
