Fa akhazat humur rajfatu fa asbahoo fee daarihim jaasimeen
So the earthquake seized them, and they became within their home [corpses] fallen prone.
Allazeena kazzaboo Shu'aiban ka al alm yaghnaw feehaa; allazeena kazzaboo Shu'aiban kaanoo humul khaasireen
Those who denied Shuaib – it was as though they had never resided there. Those who denied Shuaib – it was they who were the losers.
Fatawalla 'anhum wa qaala yaa qawmi laqad ablaghtukum Risaalaati Rabbee wa nasahtu lakum fakaifa aasaa'alaa qawmin kaafireen
And he [i.e., Shuaib] turned away from them and said, "O my people, I had certainly conveyed to you the messages of my Lord and advised you, so how could I grieve for a disbelieving people?"
Wa maaa arsalnaa fee qaryatim min Nabiyyin illaaa akhaznaaa ahlahaa bil baasaaa'i waddarraaa'i la'allahum yaddarra'oon
And We sent to no city a prophet [who was denied] except that We seized its people with poverty and hardship that they might humble themselves [to Allah].
Summa baddalnaa makaa nas saiyi'atil hasanata hattaa 'afaw wa qaaloo qad massa aabaa'anad darraaa'u wassarraaa'u fa akhaznaahum baghtatanw wa hum laa yash'uroon
Then We exchanged in place of the bad [condition], good, until they increased [and prospered] and said, "Our fathers [also] were touched with hardship and ease." So We seized them suddenly while they did not perceive.
Wa law anna ahlal quraaa aamanoo wattaqaw lafatahnaa 'alaihim barakaatim minas samaaa'i wal ardi wa laakin kazzaboo fa akhaznaahum bimaa kaanoo yaksiboon
And if only the people of the cities had believed and feared Allah, We would have opened [i.e., bestowed] upon them blessings from the heaven and the earth; but they denied [the messengers], so We seized them for what they were earning.
Afa amina ahlul quraaa ai yaatiyahum baasunaa bayaatanw wa hum naaa'imoon
Then, did the people of the cities feel secure from Our punishment coming to them at night while they were asleep?
Awa amina ahlul quraaa ai yaatiyahum baasunaa duhanw wa hum yal'aboon
Or did the people of the cities feel secure from Our punishment coming to them in the morning while they were at play?
Afa aminoo makral laah; falaa yaamanu makral laahi illal qawmul khaasiroon
Then, did they feel secure from the plan of Allah? But no one feels secure from the plan of Allah except the losing people.
Awa lam yahdi lillazeena yarisoonal arda mim ba'di ahlihaaa al law nashaaa'u asabnaahum bizunoobihim; wa natba'u 'alaa quloobihim fahum laa yasma'oon
Has it not become clear to those who inherited the earth after its [previous] people that if We willed, We could afflict them for their sins? But We seal over their hearts so they do not hear.
