فَخَلَفَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِمْ خَلْفٌ أَضَاعُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَٱتَّبَعُوا۟ ٱلشَّهَوَٰتِ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَلْقَوْنَ غَيًّا
Fakhalafa min baAAdihim khalfun a da AAoo a l ss al a ta wa i ttabaAAoo a l shshahaw a ti fasawfa yalqawna ghayy a n
Yet they were succeeded by generations [of people] who lost all [thought of] prayer and followed [but] their own lusts; and these will, in time, meet with utter disillusion.45
  - Mohammad Asad

I.e., they will realize in the hereafter the full extent of the self-deception which has led to their spiritual ruin.

But the generations who succeeded them abandoned the Salah and started following their lusts; so they will soon face the consequences of their deviation.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
But they were succeeded by generations who neglected prayer and followed their lusts and so will soon face the evil consequences.1
  - Mustafa Khattab

 The word ghai can either mean the evil consequences or a valley in Hell where they will be punished.

Now there hath succeeded them a later generation who have ruined worship and have followed lusts. But they will meet deception.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
But after them there followed a posterity who missed prayers and followed after lusts: soon then will they face Destruction 2511
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

This selfish godless posterity gains the upper hand at certain times, but even then there is always a minority who see the error of their ways, repent and believe, and live righteous lives. They are not penalised in the Hereafter because they were associated with the ungodly in time. They reap the full reward of their faith and righteousness.
