Translation

And they were followed in this [world] with a curse and on the Day of Resurrection. And wretched is the gift which is given.

Verse interpretation (Tafsir)

Together with the destruction and drowning that afflicted them, Allah followed that with a curse and with their being driven away and distanced from His mercy in this world and on the Day of Judgement. What an evil thing happened to them in that they became the subject of two curses and punishment in the world and the Afterlife!
