If both of you women (-aishah and Hafsah) turn to Allah repentant, (He will accept your repentance,) for your hearts are already inclined (to God).

If you both turn to Allah in repentance, (that is better for you) because the hearts of both of you have inclined (towards the same), but if you help one another in this matter (that may annoy the Holy Prophet [blessings and peace be upon him]).

If you two (wives of the Prophet SAW, namely Aishah and Hafsah ) turn in repentance to Allah, (it will be better for you), your hearts are indeed so inclined (to oppose what the Prophet SAW likes), but if you help one another against him (Muhammad SAW), then verily, Allah is his Maula (Lord, or Master, or Protector, etc.), and Jibrael (Gabriel), and the righteous among the believers, and furthermore, the angels are his helpers

New and/or Partial Translations, and works in progress
If both of you would turn in repentance to Him, then let your hearts be so inclined. If you encourage each other against (the Prophet), truly Allah is his protector. Gabriel is also [his protector] as well as the righteous believers. In addition, the angels will support him.
If you both (Aisha [r.a.] and Hafsa [r.a.]) repent to Allah (it is best), or your hearts will have deviated (from the Truth)... But if you cooperate against him, indeed Allah is his protector, and Gabriel, and the righteous among the believers (Aisha’s father Abu Bakr [r.a.], Hafsa’s father Omar [r.a.]) and the angels are also his helpers.
Al-muntakhab fi tafsir al-Qur'an al-Karim
"If both of you change your minds with regard to past action and conduct and feel contrition and keep Allah in mind, then you have indeed opened your hearts' ears". " And if you challenge him and his wisdom then you must know that Allah, is his tutelary protector and so are the Spirit Gibril (Gabriel) and the pious among the believers, and moreover the angels support him and form his back"
If both of you turn to Allah (in repentance), then indeed your hearts are inclined, and if you help each other against him, then certainly Allah is his Guardian and Jibreel and the righteous believers and besides that, the angels (are there for his) help.
