وَلَقَدْ
جَاءَهُمْ
رَسُولٌ
مِّنْهُمْ
فَكَذَّبُوهُ
فَأَخَذَهُمُ
الْعَذَابُ
وَهُمْ
ظَالِمُونَ
wa-la-qad jāʾahum rasūlun minhum fa-kadhdhabūhu fa-ʾakhadhahumu l-ʿadhābu wa-hum ẓālimūna
And there came to them a Messenger from among themselves, but they falsely rejected him; so the Wrath seized them even in the midst of their iniquities.
— Abdullah Yusufali
Certainly there had come to them an apostle from among themselves, but they impugned him. So the punishment seized them while they were doing wrong.
