كَذَّبَتْ Denied قَبْلَهُمْ before them قَوْمُ (the) people نُوحٍۢ (of) Nuh وَٱلْأَحْزَابُ and the factions مِنۢ after them بَعْدِهِمْ ۖ after them وَهَمَّتْ and plotted كُلُّ every أُمَّةٍۭ nation بِرَسُولِهِمْ against their Messenger لِيَأْخُذُوهُ ۖ to seize him وَجَـٰدَلُوا۟ and they disputed بِٱلْبَـٰطِلِ by falsehood لِيُدْحِضُوا۟ to refute بِهِ thereby ٱلْحَقَّ the truth فَأَخَذْتُهُمْ ۖ So I seized them فَكَيْفَ Then how كَانَ was عِقَابِ My penalty ٥
The people of Noah denied before them and the [disbelieving] factions after them, and every nation intended [a plot] for their messenger to seize him, and they disputed by [using] falsehood to [attempt to] invalidate thereby the truth. So I seized them, and how [terrible] was My penalty.
