وَدُّوا۟ لَوْ تُدْهِنُ فَيُدْهِنُونَ
Waddoo law tudhinu fayudhinoon a
they would like thee to be soft [with them], so that they might be soft [with thee].5
  - Mohammad Asad

I.e., "they would like thee to be conciliatory in the matter of ethical principles and moral valuations, whereupon they would reciprocate and desist from actively opposing thee".

They desire you to compromise a little, so they too would compromise.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
They wish you would compromise so they would yield 'to you'.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Who would have had thee compromise, that they may compromise.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Their desire is that thou shouldst be pliant; so would thy be pliant.
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
