ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمُ ٱتَّبَعُوا۟ مَآ أَسْخَطَ ٱللَّهَ وَكَرِهُوا۟ رِضْوَٰنَهُۥ فَأَحْبَطَ أَعْمَـٰلَهُمْ
Tha lika biannahumu ittabaAAoo m a askha t a All a ha wakarihoo ri d w a nahu faa h ba t a aAAm a lahum
This, because they were wont to pursue what God condemns, and to hate [whatever would meet with] His goodly acceptance:33 and so He has caused all their [good] deeds to come to nought.
  - Mohammad Asad

See first clause of verse {3} of this surah, which speaks of the "pursuit of falsehood". In the present instance, "that which would meet with His goodly acceptance" is the believer's readiness to sacrifice, if necessary, his life in the defence of the Faith.

That will happen because they followed the way that called for the wrath of Allah and hated to adopt the way of His pleasure, therefore He made all their deeds void.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
This is because they follow whatever displeases Allah and hate whatever pleases Him, so He has rendered their deeds void.
  - Mustafa Khattab
That will be because they followed that which angereth Allah, and hated that which pleaseth Him. Therefor He hath made their actions vain.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
This because they followed that which called forth the Wrath of Allah and they hated Allah's good pleasure; so He made their deeds of no effect.
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
