Hilali/KhanThose who disbelieve will be addressed (at the time of entering into the Fire): "Allahs aversion was greater towards you (in the worldly life when you used to reject the Faith) than your aversion towards one another (now in the Fire of Hell, as you are now enemies to one another), when you were called to the Faith but you used to refuse."

Asad[But,] behold, as for those who are bent on denying the truth - [on that same Day] a voice will call out unto them: [Lit., "they will be called" or "summoned".] "Indeed, greater than your [present] loathing of yourselves [I.e., "on realizing, belatedly, your past sinfulness".] was God's loathing of you [at the time] when you were called unto faith but went on denying the truth!" [Since it is impossible to attribute to God a purely human emotion, "God's loathing" of those sinners is obviously a metonym for His rejection of them (Razi), similar to the metonymic use of the expression "God's wrath (ghadab)" in the sense of His condemnation (see first sentence of note on 1:7).]
