ولما أقام الحجة وبين الحجة إرتهن كل نفس بكسبها وآخذها بذنبها
And when the proof was established and made clear, every soul is held accountable for its deeds and taken for its sins.
وَلَمَّا — And when. The wa- opens the sentence, and it is fused to the particle that means 'when' for past events, the kind that pairs with a following answer-clause. It sets a circumstance in the past, telling the reader that once the next action happened, a result followed.
