ثُمَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَـٰمَةِ يُخْزِيهِمْ وَيَقُولُ أَيْنَ شُرَكَآءِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ كُنتُمْ تُشَـٰٓقُّونَ فِيهِمْ ۚ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْعِلْمَ إِنَّ ٱلْخِزْىَ ٱلْيَوْمَ وَٱلسُّوٓءَ عَلَى ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ
Thumma yawma alqiy a mati yukhzeehim wayaqoolu ayna shurak a iya alla th eena kuntum tush a qqoona feehim q a la alla th eena ootoo alAAilma inna alkhizya alyawma wa al ssooa AAal a alk a fireen a
And then, on Resurrection Day, He will cover them [all] with ignominy,22 and will say: "Where, now, are those beings to whom you ascribed a share in My divinity,23 [and] for whose sake you cut yourselves off [from My guidance]?"24 [Whereupon] those who [in their lifetime] were endowed with knowledge25 will say: "Verily, ignominy and misery [have fallen] this day upon those who have been denying the truth -
  - Mohammad Asad

I.e., finally and utterly - for, "only on the Day of Resurrection will you be requited in full for whatever you have done" ( 3:185 ). Since the pronoun "them" refers not only to the earlier sinners mentioned parenthetically in the preceding verse but also to those spoken of in verses {22-25}, I have interpolated the word "all".

Lit., "those [alleged] partners of Mine". Regarding the Qur'anic use of the term sharik (pl. shuraka') in connection with religious beliefs, see surah {6}, note [15].

Or: "you were wont to contend [against My guidance]". See in this connection surah {8}, note [16].

I.e., those who had availed themselves of the knowledge of good and evil which God offers to mankind through His prophets.

Then on the Day of Judgment He will humiliate them and say: "Where are those deities you associated with Me concerning whom you used to dispute with the true believers?" Those who have been given knowledge will say: "Today there will be shame and sorrow for the unbelievers,"
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Then on the Day of Judgment He will humiliate them and say, 'Where are My 'so-called' associate-gods for whose sake you used to oppose 'the believers'?' Those gifted with knowledge will say, 'Surely disgrace and misery today are upon the disbelievers.'
  - Mustafa Khattab
Then on the Day of Resurrection He will disgrace them and will say: Where are My partners, for whose sake ye opposed (My Guidance)? Those who have been given knowledge will say: Disgrace this day and evil are upon the disbelievers,
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Then on the Day of Judgment He will cover them with shame and say: "Where are My `partners' concerning whom ye used to dispute (with the godly)?" Those endued with knowledge will say: "This Day indeed are the Unbelievers covered with Shame and Misery 2050
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

The worshippers of false gods (ungodly, the Unbelievers) will be unable to reply when brought before the Judgment Seat. The comment of those "endued with knowledge"-the Prophets and Teachers whom they had rejected-will be by way of indictment and explanation of the position of those before the Judgment Seat.
