"and consult them in the matter"; advise them on the matter
Explanation:
The first one is the classic translation from "Progressive Muslims", the second is my verse.
It was a mercy from God that you were soft towards them; had you been harsh and mean hearted, they would have dispersed from you; so pardon them and ask forgiveness for them, and consult them in the matter; but when you are convinced, then put your trust in God; God loves those who trust.

  -> Thanks, Mohsin
agree  Nervan Talaat: I agree with "consult" but I think it should be "consult on" not "consult in" according to Oxford. As for "advise", I don't think it conveys the right meaning here because consult is to seek somebody's opinion and advise is to provide somebody with yours

  -> Thank you, Nervan. HE consults them = advises. The first suggestion is as I mentioned on the net - classic translation, the second is my suggestion.
agree  Awad Balaish: Also agree with Nervan Talaat
