إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ وَمَاتُواْ وَهُمۡ كُفَّارٞ فَلَن يُقۡبَلَ مِنۡ أَحَدِهِم مِّلۡءُ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ذَهَبٗا وَلَوِ ٱفۡتَدَىٰ بِهِۦٓۗ أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ وَمَا لَهُم مِّن نَّـٰصِرِينَ
Innal lazeena kafaroo wa maatoo wa hum kuffaarun falany yuqbala min ahadihim mil’ul ardi zahabanw wa lawiftadaa bih; ulaaa ‘ika lahum ‘azaabun aleemunw wa maa lahum min naasireen (section 9) (End Juz 3)

English Translation

Here you can read various translations of verse 91

Sahih International
Indeed, those who disbelieve and die while they are disbelievers – never would the [whole] capacity of the earth in gold be accepted from one of them if he would [seek to] ransom himself with it. For those there will be a painful punishment, and they will have no helpers.

Yusuf Ali
As to those who reject Faith, and die rejecting,- never would be accepted from any such as much gold as the earth contains, though they should offer it for ransom. For such is (in store) a penalty grievous, and they will find no helpers.

Abul Ala Maududi
Truly those who disbelieved and died as unbelievers, not even an earth full of gold will be accepted from them as ransom. For such people there is painful chastisement; and none shall come to their help.

Muhsin Khan
Verily, those who disbelieved, and died while they were disbelievers, the (whole) earth full of gold will not be accepted from anyone of them even if they offered it as a ransom. For them is a painful torment and they will have no helpers.

Pickthall
Lo! those who disbelieve, and die in disbelief, the (whole) earth full of gold would not be accepted from such an one if it were offered as a ransom (for his soul). Theirs will be a painful doom and they will have no helpers.

Dr. Ghali
Surely the ones who have disbelieved and died (when) they are steadfast disbelievers, then (there) will never be accepted from any one of them the (whole) earth full of gold, even if he would ransom himself thereby. Those will have a painful torment, and in no way will they have any vindicators.

Abdel Haleem
those who disbelieve and die disbelievers will not be saved even if they offer enough gold to fill the entire earth. Agonizing torment is in store for them, and there will be no one to help them.

Muhammad Junagarhi
ہاں جو لوگ کفر کریں اور مرتے دم تک کافر رہیں ان میں سے کوئی اگر زمین بھر سونا دے، گو فدیئے میں ہی ہو تو بھی ہرگز قبول نہ کیا جائے گا۔ یہی لوگ ہیں جن کے لئے تکلیف دینے واﻻ عذاب ہے اور جن کا کوئی مددگار نہیں
