(And those who break the covenant of Allah) those who refrain from the obligations of Allah (after ratifying it) after making it sacred, more firm and confirmed, (and sever that which Allah hath commanded should be joined) of ties with one's kinsfolk as well as of belief in Muhammad (pbuh) and in the Qur'an, (and make mischief in the earth) through disbelief, idolatry, and calling to the worship of other than Allah: (theirs) the reward of those who are thus described (is the curse) Allah's wrath in the life of this world (and theirs the ill abode) i.e. the Fire in the Hereafter.
