وَلَقَدْ
أَهْلَكْنَا
الْقُرُونَ
مِن
قَبْلِكُمْ
لَمَّا
ظَلَمُوا
وَجَاءَتْهُمْ
رُسُلُهُم
بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ
وَمَا
كَانُوا
لِيُؤْمِنُوا
كَذَلِكَ
نَجْزِي
الْقَوْمَ
الْمُجْرِمِينَ
wa-la-qad ʾahlaknā l-qurūna min qablikum lammā ẓalamū wa-jāʾathum rusuluhum bi-l-bayyināti wa-mā kānū li-yuʾminū ka-dhālika najzī l-qawma l-mujrimīna
Generations before you We destroyed when they did wrong: their messengers came to them with clear-signs, but they would not believe! thus do We requite those who sin!
— Abdullah Yusufali
Certainly We destroyed generations before you when they perpetrated wrongs: their apostles brought them manifest proofs, but they would not have faith. Thus do We requite the guilty lot.
