أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَعَنَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ فَأَصَمَّهُمْ وَأَعْمَىٰٓ أَبْصَـٰرَهُمْ
Ol a ika alla th eena laAAanahumu All a hu faa s ammahum waaAAm a ab sa rahum
It is such as these whom God rejects, and whom He makes deaf [to the voice of truth], and whose eyes He blinds [to its sight]!29
  - Mohammad Asad

Cf. the reference to God's "sealing" the hearts of stubborn wrongdoers in 2:7 .

Such are those whom Allah has cursed and made them deaf and blinded their sight.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
These are the ones who Allah has condemned, deafening them and blinding their eyes.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Such are they whom Allah curseth so that he deafeneth them and maketh blind their eyes.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Such are the men whom Allah has cursed for He has made them deaf and blinded their sight. 4848
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Cursed: i.e., deprived of His Grace: left them straying, because they deliberately rejected His guidance. The result is that what they hear is as if they had not heard, and what they see is as if they had not seen. They have no desire to understand Allah's Will or Allah's Revelation;-or is it that they have themselves locked and bolted their hearts and minds, so that nothing can penetrate them?
