they closely follow nothing except surmise and what (prejudices) the selves
yearn to; and indeed the guidance has already come to them from their Lord.

Sahih International
Those who avoid the major sins and immoralities, only [committing] slight ones.
Indeed, your Lord is vast in forgiveness. He was most knowing of you when He
produced you from the earth and when you were fetuses in the wombs of your
mothers. So do not claim yourselves to be pure; He is most knowing of who fears
Him.
Muhsin Khan
Those who avoid great sins (see the Quran, Verses: 6:152,153) and Al-Fawahish
(illegal sexual intercourse, etc.) except the small faults, verily, your Lord is
of vast forgiveness. He knows you well when He created you from the earth
(Adam), and when you were fetuses in your mothers' wombs. So ascribe not purity
to yourselves. He knows best him who fears Allah and keep his duty to Him [i.e.
those who are Al-Muttaqun (pious - see V.2:2)].
Pickthall
Those who avoid enormities of sin and abominations, save the unwilled offences -
(for them) lo! thy Lord is of vast mercy. He is Best Aware of you (from the
time) when He created you from the earth, and when ye were hidden in the bellies
of your mothers. Therefor ascribe not purity unto yourselves. He is Best Aware
of him who wardeth off (evil).
Yusuf Ali
Those who avoid great sins and shameful deeds, only (falling into) small
faults,- verily thy Lord is ample in forgiveness. He knows you well when He
brings you out of the earth, And when ye are hidden in your mothers' wombs.
Therefore justify not yourselves: He knows best who it is that guards against
evil.
Shakir
Those who keep aloof from the great sins and the indecencies but the passing
idea; surely your Lord is liberal in forgiving. He knows you best when He brings
you forth from the earth and when you are embryos in the wombs of your mothers;
therefore do not attribute purity to your souls; He knows him best who guards
(against evil).
Dr. Ghali
The ones who avoid the great (kinds) of vice and obscenities, except lesser
offences; surely your Lord is Ever-Embracing in (His) forgiveness. He knows you
best, as He brought you into being from the earth, and as you were embryos in
your mothers' bellies; so do not (consider) yourselves cleansed; (only) He knows
best him who is pious.
