فَلَمَّا Then when قَضَيْنَا We decreed عَلَيْهِ for him ٱلْمَوْتَ the death مَا not دَلَّهُمْ indicated to them عَلَىٰ [on] مَوْتِهِۦٓ his death إِلَّا except دَآبَّةُ a creature ٱلْأَرْضِ (of) the earth تَأْكُلُ eating مِنسَأَتَهُۥ ۖ his staff فَلَمَّا But when خَرَّ he fell down تَبَيَّنَتِ became clear ٱلْجِنُّ (to) the jinn أَن that لَّوْ if كَانُوا۟ they had يَعْلَمُونَ known ٱلْغَيْبَ the unseen مَا not لَبِثُوا۟ they (would have) remained فِى in ٱلْعَذَابِ the punishment ٱلْمُهِينِ humiliating ١٤
And when We decreed for him [i.e., Solomon] death, nothing indicated to them [i.e., the jinn] his death except a creature of the earth eating his staff. But when he fell, it became clear to the jinn that if they had known the unseen, they would not have remained in humiliating punishment.
