Translation

Then you turned away after that. And if not for the favor of Allah upon you and His mercy, you would have been among the losers.

Verse interpretation (Tafsir)

Yet after making a firm promise, you broke the contract and rebelled. If it had not been for Allah’s favour in His tolerance towards you, and His mercy, accepting when you asked for forgiveness, then you would be among the losers because of your turning away and rebellion.
