وَإِذا بَطَشتُم بَطَشتُم جَبّارينَ

And when you strike, you strike as tyrants.

فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطيعونِ

So fear Allah and obey me.

وَاتَّقُوا الَّذي أَمَدَّكُم بِما تَعلَمونَ

And fear He who provided you with that which you know,

أَمَدَّكُم بِأَنعامٍ وَبَنينَ

Provided you with grazing livestock and children

وَجَنّاتٍ وَعُيونٍ

And gardens and springs.

قالوا سَواءٌ عَلَينا أَوَعَظتَ أَم لَم تَكُن مِنَ الواعِظينَ

They said, "It is all the same to us whether you advise or are not of the advisors.

إِن هـٰذا إِلّا خُلُقُ الأَوَّلينَ

This is not but the custom of the former peoples,

وَما نَحنُ بِمُعَذَّبينَ

And we are not to be punished."

فَكَذَّبوهُ فَأَهلَكناهُم ۗ إِنَّ في ذٰلِكَ لَآيَةً ۖ وَما كانَ أَكثَرُهُم مُؤمِنينَ

And they denied him, so We destroyed them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ العَزيزُ الرَّحيمُ

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
