أَوَلَا يَرَوْنَ أَنَّهُمْ يُفْتَنُونَ فِى كُلِّ عَامٍ مَّرَّةً أَوْ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ لَا يَتُوبُونَ وَلَا هُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ Qur’an Al-Tawba (9:126)
Awal a yarawna annahum yuftanoona fee kulli AA a min marratan aw marratayni thumma l a yatooboona wal a hum ya thth akkaroon a
Are they, then, not aware that they are being tested year-in, year-out?167 And yet, they do not repent and do not bethink themselves [of God];
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad

Lit., "every year once or twice" - a figure of speech denoting continuity (Manar XI, 83 f.). The "test" consists in the fact that man has been endowed with reason and, therefore, with the ability to choose between right and wrong.

Do they not see that they are tested every year once or twice? Yet they neither repent nor learn a lesson from this.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Do they not see that they are tried once or twice every year?1 Yet they neither repent nor do they learn a lesson.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Mustafa Khattab

 Their hypocrisy is exposed over and over again.

See they not that they are tested once or twice in every year? Still they turn not in repentance, neither pay they heed.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Marmaduke Pickthall
See they not that they are tried every year once or twice? Yet they turn not in repentance and they take no heed. 1377
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Yet, in spite of their infidelity, one or two chances are given them every year. The door is not closed to them. Yet they deliberately turn away, and take no heed of all the warnings which their own nature and the teaching and example of good men should give them.
