(3:165) Why [is it that] when a [single] disaster struck you [on the day of Uhud], although you had struck [the enemy in the battle of Badr] with one twice as great, you said, “From where is this?” Say, “It is from yourselves.” Indeed, Allah is over all things competent.
Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali and Muhammad Muhsin Khan,
(3:165) (What is the matter with you?) When a single disaster smites you, although you smote (your enemies) with one twice as great, you say: “From where does this come to us?” Say (to them), “It is from yourselves (because of your evil deeds).” And Allah has power over all things.

(3:165) And was it so, when a disaster smote you, though ye had smitten (them with a disaster) twice (as great), that ye said: How is this? Say (unto them, O Muhammad): It is from yourselves. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Ali Unal
(3:165) And do you, now that a disaster has befallen you, though you inflicted the double (of that on your foes at Badr), say: “Whence is this?” Say (to them, O Messenger): “It is from your own selves.” Surely God has full power over everything.
