But is
ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ the man أَكْثَرَ (in) most شَىْءٍ things جَدَلًا quarrelsome. وَمَا And nothing مَنَعَ prevents ٱلنَّاسَ men أَن that يُؤْمِنُوٓا۟ they believe
إِذْ when جَآءَهُمُ has come to them ٱلْهُدَىٰ the guidance وَيَسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ and they ask forgiveness رَبَّهُمْ (of) their Lord, إِلَّآ except أَن that تَأْتِيَهُمْ comes to them سُنَّةُ (the) way
ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ (of) the former (people) أَوْ or يَأْتِيَهُمُ comes to them ٱلْعَذَابُ the punishment قُبُلًا before (them)? وَمَا And not نُرْسِلُ We send ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ the Messengers
إِلَّا except مُبَشِّرِينَ (as) bearers of glad tidings وَمُنذِرِينَ and (as) warners. وَيُجَٰدِلُ And dispute ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieve بِٱلْبَٰطِلِ with falsehood,
لِيُدْحِضُوا۟ to refute بِهِ thereby ٱلْحَقَّ the truth. وَٱتَّخَذُوٓا۟ And they take ءَايَٰتِى My Verses وَمَآ and what أُنذِرُوا۟ they are warned هُزُوًا (in) ridicule.
وَمَنْ And who أَظْلَمُ (is) more wrong مِمَّن than (he) who ذُكِّرَ is reminded بِـَٔايَٰتِ of the Verses رَبِّهِۦ (of) his Lord, فَأَعْرَضَ but turns away عَنْهَا from them, وَنَسِىَ and forgets
مَا what قَدَّمَتْ have sent forth يَدَاهُ his hands? إِنَّا Indeed, We جَعَلْنَا [We] have placed عَلَىٰ over قُلُوبِهِمْ their hearts أَكِنَّةً coverings, أَن lest يَفْقَهُوهُ they understand it
وَفِىٓ and in ءَاذَانِهِمْ their ears وَقْرًا (is) deafness. وَإِن And if تَدْعُهُمْ you call them إِلَى to ٱلْهُدَىٰ the guidance, فَلَن then never يَهْتَدُوٓا۟ they will be guided إِذًا then
أَبَدًا ever. وَرَبُّكَ And your Lord ٱلْغَفُورُ (is) the Most Forgiving, ذُو Owner ٱلرَّحْمَةِ (of) the Mercy. لَوْ If يُؤَاخِذُهُم He were to seize them بِمَا for what كَسَبُوا۟ they have earned,
لَعَجَّلَ surely, He (would) have hastened لَهُمُ for them ٱلْعَذَابَ the punishment. بَل But لَّهُم for them مَّوْعِدٌ (is) an appointment, لَّن never يَجِدُوا۟ they will find مِن other than it *[meaning includes next or prev. word] دُونِهِۦ other than it *[meaning includes next or prev. word]
مَوْئِلًا an escape. وَتِلْكَ And these ٱلْقُرَىٰٓ [the] towns, أَهْلَكْنَٰهُمْ We destroyed them لَمَّا when ظَلَمُوا۟ they wronged, وَجَعَلْنَا and We made
لِمَهْلِكِهِم for their destruction مَّوْعِدًا an appointed time. وَإِذْ And when قَالَ said مُوسَىٰ Musa لِفَتَىٰهُ to his boy, لَآ "Not أَبْرَحُ I will cease حَتَّىٰٓ until
أَبْلُغَ I reach مَجْمَعَ the junction ٱلْبَحْرَيْنِ (of) the two seas أَوْ or أَمْضِىَ I continue حُقُبًا (for) a long period." فَلَمَّا But when بَلَغَا they reached مَجْمَعَ the junction
بَيْنِهِمَا between them, نَسِيَا they forgot حُوتَهُمَا their fish, فَٱتَّخَذَ and it took سَبِيلَهُۥ its way فِى into ٱلْبَحْرِ the sea, سَرَبًا slipping away.
