quran:40:38

And he who believed said, "O my people, follow me, I will guide you to the way of right conduct.  

And he who believed, ‘O my people! Follow me (read ittabi‘ūnī, with the ˹final long˺ yā’, or ittabi‘ūni, without); I will guide you to the way of rectitude (˹a similar statement˺ has already been mentioned ˹verse 29, above˺).
القرآن:٤٠:٣٨

وَقَالَ الَّذِي آمَنَ يَا قَوْمِ اتَّبِعُونِ أَهْدِكُمْ سَبِيلَ الرَّشَادِ  

{وقال الذي آمن يا قوم اتَّبعون} بإثبات الياء وحذفها {أهدكم سبيل الرشاد} تقدم.
quran:40:39

O my people, this worldly life is only ˹temporary˺ enjoyment, and indeed, the Hereafter - that is the home of ˹permanent˺ settlement.  

O my people! Truly this life of the world is only an ˹ephemeral˺ enjoyment, ˹containing˺ comforts which will ˹eventually˺ disappear, whereas the Hereafter truly is the enduring abode.
القرآن:٤٠:٣٩

يَا قَوْمِ إِنَّمَا هَٰذِهِ الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا مَتَاعٌ وَإِنَّ الْآخِرَةَ هِيَ دَارُ الْقَرَارِ  

{يا قوم إنما هذه الحياة الدنيا متاع} تمتع يزول {وإن الآخرة هي دار القرار}.
quran:40:40

Whoever does an evil deed will not be recompensed except by the like thereof; but whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - those will enter Paradise, being given provision therein without account.  

Whoever commits an evil deed shall not be requited except with the like of it; but whoever acts righteously, whether male or female, and is a believer — such shall be admitted into Paradise (read ˹passive˺ yudkhalūna, or the opposite ˹active yadkhulūna, ‘they shall enter’) wherein they will be provided without any reckoning, an abundant provision, ˹given to them˺ unconditionally.
القرآن:٤٠:٤٠

مَنْ عَمِلَ سَيِّئَةً فَلَا يُجْزَىٰ إِلَّا مِثْلَهَا ۖ وَمَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا مِنْ ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنْثَىٰ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَأُولَٰئِكَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ يُرْزَقُونَ فِيهَا بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ  

{من عمل سيئة فلا يُجزى إلا مثلها ومن عمل صالحا من ذكر أو أنثى وهو مؤمن فأولئك يدخلون الجنة} بضم الياء وفتح الخاء وبالعكس {يرزقون فيها بغير حساب} رزقا واسعا بلا تبعة.
quran:40:41

And O my people, how is it that I invite you to salvation while you invite me to the Fire?  

And O my people! ˹Think˺ what makes me call you to deliverance when you call me to the Fire?
القرآن:٤٠:٤١

وَيَا قَوْمِ مَا لِي أَدْعُوكُمْ إِلَى النَّجَاةِ وَتَدْعُونَنِي إِلَى النَّارِ  

{ويا قوم مالي أدعوكم إلى النجاة وتدعونني إلى النار}.
