فَٱتَّخَذْتُمُوهُمْ سِخْرِيًّا حَتَّىٰٓ أَنسَوْكُمْ ذِكْرِى وَكُنتُم مِّنْهُمْ تَضْحَكُونَ
Fa i ttakha th tumoohum sikhriyyan h att a ansawkum th ikree wakuntum minhum ta dh akoon a
- but you made them a target of your derision to the point where it made you forget65 all remembrance of Me; and you went on and on laughing at them.
  - Mohammad Asad

Lit., "until they made you forget":i.e.,"your scoffing at them became the cause of your forgetting".

But you ridiculed them so much, that you even forgot My very existence, and went on laughing at them.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
but you were 'so busy' making fun of them that it made you forget My remembrance. And you used to laugh at them.
  - Mustafa Khattab
But ye chose them from a laughingstock until they caused you to forget remembrance of Me, while ye laughed at them.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
"But ye treated them with ridicule so much so that (ridicule of) them made you forget My Message while ye were laughing at them! 2947
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Literally, 'they made you forget My Message'. The ungodly were so occupied in the backbiting and ridicule of the godly that the godly themselves became the unconscious cause of the ungodly forgetting the warnings declared by Allah against those who do not treat His Signs seriously. Thus evil often brings about its own ruin through the instrumentality of those whom it would make its victims.
