وَأَنِيبُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمْ وَأَسْلِمُوا۟ لَهُۥ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ ثُمَّ لَا تُنصَرُونَ
Waaneeboo il a rabbikum waaslimoo lahu min qabli an yatiyakumu alAAa tha bu thumma l a tun s aroon a
Hence, turn towards your Sustainer [alone] and surrender yourselves unto Him ere the suffering [of death and resurrection] comes upon you, for then you will not be succoured.59
  - Mohammad Asad

Cf. 4:18 - "repentance shall not be accepted from those who do evil deeds until their dying hour, and then say, 'Behold, I now repent'; nor from those who die as deniers of the truth".

Turn in repentance to your Rabb, and submit to Him before there comes to you the scourge: for then, there shall be none to help you.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Turn to your Lord 'in repentance', and 'fully' submit to Him before the punishment reaches you, 'for' then you will not be helped.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Turn unto Him repentant, and surrender unto Him, before there come unto you the doom, when ye cannot be helped.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
"Turn ye to your Lord (in repentance) and bow to His (Will) before the Penalty comes on you: after that ye shall not be helped. 4325
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

The exhortation in brief is: 'Repent and work righteousness, before it becomes too late'. No help will come to you when the Judgment is actually established and you stand before Allah.
