English Translation
Here you can read various translations of verse 48
They had already desired dissension before and had upset matters for you until the truth came and the ordinance of Allah appeared, while they were averse.
Indeed they had plotted sedition before, and upset matters for thee, until,- the Truth arrived, and the Decree of Allah became manifest much to their disgust.
Surely they sought even earlier to stir up sedition, and turned things upside down to frustrate you until the Truth came and the decree of Allah appeared, however hateful this may have been to them.
Verily, they had plotted sedition before, and had upset matters for you, – until the truth (victory) came and the Decree of Allah (His Religion, Islam) became manifest though they hated it.
Aforetime they sought to cause sedition and raised difficulties for thee till the Truth came and the decree of Allah was made manifest, though they were loth.
Indeed they inequitably sought (to stir up) sedition already earlier and turned the commands about for you, until the Truth came, and the Command of Allah became topmost, and they are hating (that).
Indeed, they had tried before that to stir up discord: they devised plots against you [Prophet] until the truth was exposed and God’s will triumphed, much to their disgust.
یہ تو اس سے پہلے بھی فتنے کی تلاش کرتے رہے ہیں اور تیرے لئے کاموں کو الٹ پلٹ کرتے رہے ہیں، یہاں تک کہ حق آپہنچا اور اللہ کا حکم غالب آگیا باوجودیکہ وه ناخوشی میں ہی رہے

Ibn-Kathir
48. Verily, they had plotted sedition before, and had upset matters for you, until the truth (victory) came and the decree of Allah became manifest though they hated it.
(Verily, they had plotted sedition before, and had upset matters for you,) `For a long time,’ Allah says, hypocrites thought and plotted against you and your Companions, as well as, failing and attempting to extinguish your religion.’ This occurred soon after the Prophet migrated to Al-Madinah, when pagan Arabs joined force and the Jews and hypocrites of Al-Madinah waged war against the Messenger . When Allah gave victory to the Prophet in Badr and raised high his word, `Abdullah bin Ubayy and his fellows said, “This (Islam) is a matter that has prevailed.” They embraced Islam outwardly, and whenever Allah elevated Islam and its people in might, hypocrites increased in rage and disappointment,
(until the truth (victory) came and the decree of Allah became manifest though they hated it.)
