إِنَّهُۥ مَن يَأْتِ رَبَّهُۥ مُجْرِمًا فَإِنَّ لَهُۥ جَهَنَّمَ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ Qur’an Ta-Ha (20:74)
Innahu man yati rabbahu mujriman fainna lahu jahannama l a yamootu feeh a wal a ya h y a
VERILY, as for him who shall appear before his Sustainer [on Judgment Day] lost in sin-his [portion], behold, shall be hell: he will neither die therein nor live;58
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad

I.e., he will neither be reborn spiritually nor find peace through extinction (Baghawi, Baydawi). As is apparent from the juxtaposition, in the next verse, of the term mujrim (rendered by me as "one who is lost in sin") with that of mu'min ("believer"), the former term is here applied to one who, in his lifetime, has consciously and persistently denied God (Baydawi).

Surely he who will come to his Rabb as a sinner shall be consigned to Hell - wherein he shall neither die nor live.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Whoever comes to their Lord as an evildoer will certainly have Hell, where they can neither live nor die.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Mustafa Khattab
Lo! whoso cometh guilty unto his Lord, verily for him is hell. There he will neither die nor live.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Marmaduke Pickthall
Verily he who comes to his Lord as a sinner (at judgment) for him is Hell: therein shall he neither die nor live. 2597
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

The verses xx. 74-76 are best construed as comments on the story of the converted Egyptians who had "purified themselves (from evil)". But some construe them as a continuation of their speech.
