Translation
O King, because Rukmī envied the Lord, he forbade his family members to give his sister to Kṛṣṇa, although they wanted to. Instead, Rukmī decided to give Rukmiṇī to Śiśupāla.
Purport
Rukmī abused his position as elder brother and acted with impure motives. He would only suffer for his decision.
