وَٱلَّذِينَ يَنقُضُونَ عَهْدَ ٱللَّهِ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مِيثَـٰقِهِۦ وَيَقْطَعُونَ مَآ أَمَرَ ٱللَّهُ بِهِۦٓ أَن يُوصَلَ وَيُفْسِدُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۙ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمُ ٱللَّعْنَةُ وَلَهُمْ سُوٓءُ ٱلدَّارِ
Wallazeena yanqudoona 'Ahdal laahi mim ba'di meesaaqihee wa yaqta'oona maaa amaral laahu biheee ai yoosala wa yufsidoona fil ardi ulaaa'ika lahumul la'natu wa lahum sooo'ud daar
A tych, którzy naruszają przymierze Boga po zawarciu paktu wierności; i tych, którzy rozcinają węzły, jakie nakazał utrzymać Bóg; i tych, którzy szerzą zgorszenie na ziemi - spotka przekleństwo i czeka ich nieszczęsna siedziba!
But those who break their covenant with God after sealing it, who sever what God has commanded to be joined, and who spread corruption in the land — upon them is the curse, and theirs is the wretched home.
Five verses earlier the same two acts stand in their positive form, the covenant kept and the bond maintained rather than cut. This verse reverses both, one at a time and in the same order, then adds corruption in the land as a third charge. Each half of the passage closes on the same noun for a dwelling, so reward and curse are alike described as places a person arrives at.
