 The meanings of verses 2:275-276 of the Noble Quran:
Verse 2:275 says:
Allah then mentioned the punishment of consuming usury, saying:
Those who swallow usury) declaring it to be lawful (cannot rise up) from their graves on the Day of Judgment save as they arise) in the life of this world (whom the Devil has prostrated, confounded by his touch of insanity.
In other word, those who devour, that is, those who seize by way of, usury, which is an excess [levied] in transactions of money or foodstuffs either on their value or on credit, shall not rise again, from their graves, except, rising, as one whom Satan has made prostrate, demented, from touch, [through] madness; that, which befalls them, is because, of the fact that, they say, ‘Trade is like usury’, and ‘usury is like trade’
Increase at the end of selling, once the term is due, is like the increase at the beginning of a transaction when the sale is deferred; whereas Allah permitted trading and forbade usury.
God responds to them saying that: God has permitted trade, and forbidden usury. Whoever receives an admonition from his Lord and desists, from devouring it, he shall have his past gains, those made before the prohibition and which cannot be reclaimed from him, and his affair, with regard to pardoning him, is committed to God; but whoever reverts, to devouring it, treating it like trade in terms of lawfulness — those are the inhabitants of the Fire, abiding therein.
As for him who returned to usury, after usury has been made forbidden and says trade is just like usury, they certainly are the dwellers of Hell, they will abide therein.
Verse 2:276 says:
Allah effaces usury, diminishing it and eliminating any blessing in it,
i.e., He has wiped it out and removed its blessedness in the life of this world and in the Hereafter
But He augments voluntary almsgivings with interest, increasing them, making them grow and multiplying their reward many times at the Day of Judgment.
Allah does not love the impious and guilty, that is to say, He will requite, any guilty, profligate devouring it, ingrate, who deems usury licit and denies the unlawfulness of usury and consumes it.

Verses 2:275-276 in different translations
Verse 2:275
QARIB:
Those who consume usury shall not rise up (from their tomb) except as he who rises in madness that Satan has touched. That is because they say: 'selling is like usury. 'Allah has permitted trading and forbidden usury. To whomsoever an exhortation comes from his lord then he desists, he shall have his past gains, and his matter is with Allah. But whoever reverts shall be among the people of the fire and shall remain in it for ever.
SHAKIR:
Those who swallow down usury cannot arise except as one whom Satan has prostrated by (his) touch does rise. That is because they say, trading is only like usury; and Allah has allowed trading and forbidden usury. to whomsoever then the admonition has come from his lord, then he desists, he shall have what has already passed, and his affair is in the hands of Allah; and whoever returns (to it)-- these arc the inmates of the fire; they shall abide in it.
PICKTHAL:
Those who swallow usury cannot rise up save as he ariseth whom the devil hath prostrated by (his) touch. That is because they say: trade is just like usury; whereas Allah permitteth trading and forbiddeth usury. He unto whom an admonition from his lord cometh, and (he) refraineth (in obedience thereto), he shall keep (the profits of) that which is past, and his affair (henceforth) is with Allah. as for him who returneth (to usury) - such are rightful owners of the fire. They will abide therein.
YUSUFALI:
Those who devour usury will not stand except as stand one whom the evil one by his touch hath driven to madness. That is because they say: "trade is like usury," but Allah hath permitted trade and forbidden usury. Those who after receiving direction from their lord, desist, shall be pardoned for the past; their case is for Allah (to judge); but those who repeat (the offence) are companions of the fire: they will abide therein (for ever).
