What benefit did what they earn make for them?

What they had gained was of no use to them

and all their earnings (building homes by craving the rock) did not avail.

Then availed them not that which they had been earning

And all that they had done (for security) availed them nothing

Their earnings did not save them.

Therefore their earning did not avail them.

so all that they earned was of no use to them.

All (the wealth and power) that they acquired was of no avail to them

and what they used to earn did not avail them

So that all that they had accomplished was of no avail to them

that they earned did not avail them

Then what they were doing was of no use to them.

Whatever they had gained was of no help to them

And of no avail to them was all that they did

And not availed them what they used (to) earn

And did not provide benefit to them what they used to earn

And availed them not what they had been earning.

So (the riches) they used to earn could not repel (Allah’s punishment) from them

None of what they used to gain and gather could offer them any security or protection

and that which they had earned availed them naught

Therefore their earnings did not in the least benefit them

And all that they used to earn was of no avail to them.

Neither was what they had wrought of any advantage unto them

And that which they counted as gain availed them naught

and that which they had earned did not help them

And all that which they used to earn availed them not

and what they had been earning did not help them out.

And their labours availed them nothing

Everything they had done was of no use to them.

and whatever they had been earning proved of no avail

And what they earned availed them not

So that which they used to earn was of no use to them.

And what they earned availed them not

So what they were gaining/acquiring did not enrich/suffice them from them (was of no benefit to them)

and of no avail to them was all [the power] that they had acquired

Then in no way did whatever they used to earn avail them

And that which they were wont to count as gain availed them not

Out of what they had gained, nothing proved to be of any benefit to them

So, whatever they earned did not come to their help

Thus nothing availed them from what they used to gain.

So nothing availed them from what they used to gain.

and their wealth didn’t benefit them in any way.

and all they achieved was of no help to them.

And what they had gathered did not benefit them.

Nothing did their gains avail them

What they hoarded did not help them.

and all [the power] that they had acquired was of no use to them

So, it was not availing them, what they were earning.

And of no avail to them was all the power that they had acquired

And what they earned did not avail them

And all they had earned availed them not

And what they had (built with so much care and) done was of no use to them

and what they had been earning did not help them out.

All that they had acquired availed them not.

All they had acquired was of no avail to them.

and that which they used to earn availed them not

And what they had earned did not avail them.

So nothing availed them [from] what they used to earn

All that they had acquired was of no avail to them

And of no avail to them was all that they did (with such art and care)
