كَٱلَّذِينَ Like those مِن before you قَبْلِكُمْ before you كَانُوٓا۟ they were أَشَدَّ mightier مِنكُمْ than you قُوَّةًۭ (in) strength وَأَكْثَرَ and more abundant أَمْوَٰلًۭا (in) wealth وَأَوْلَـٰدًۭا and children فَٱسْتَمْتَعُوا۟ So they enjoyed بِخَلَـٰقِهِمْ their portion فَٱسْتَمْتَعْتُم and you have enjoyed بِخَلَـٰقِكُمْ your portion كَمَا like ٱسْتَمْتَعَ enjoyed ٱلَّذِينَ those مِن before you قَبْلِكُم before you بِخَلَـٰقِهِمْ their portion وَخُضْتُمْ and you indulge كَٱلَّذِى like the one who خَاضُوٓا۟ ۚ indulges (in idle talk) أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ Those حَبِطَتْ worthless أَعْمَـٰلُهُمْ (are) their deeds فِى in ٱلدُّنْيَا the world وَٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ ۖ and (in) the Hereafter وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ And those هُمُ they ٱلْخَـٰسِرُونَ (are) the losers ٦٩

[You disbelievers are] like those before you; they were stronger than you in power and more abundant in wealth and children. They enjoyed their portion [of worldly enjoyment], and you have enjoyed your portion as those before you enjoyed their portion, and you have engaged [in vanities] like that in which they engaged. [It is] those whose deeds have become worthless in this world and in the Hereafter, and it is they who are the losers.

أَلَمْ Has not يَأْتِهِمْ come to them نَبَأُ (the) news ٱلَّذِينَ (of) those who مِن (were) before them قَبْلِهِمْ (were) before them قَوْمِ (the) people نُوحٍۢ (of) Nuh وَعَادٍۢ and Aad وَثَمُودَ and Thamud وَقَوْمِ and (the) people إِبْرَٰهِيمَ (of) Ibrahim وَأَصْحَـٰبِ and (the) companions مَدْيَنَ (of) Madyan وَٱلْمُؤْتَفِكَـٰتِ ۚ and the towns overturned أَتَتْهُمْ Came to them رُسُلُهُم their Messengers بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ ۖ with clear proofs فَمَا And not كَانَ was ٱللَّهُ Allah لِيَظْلِمَهُمْ to wrong them وَلَـٰكِن but كَانُوٓا۟ they were (to) أَنفُسَهُمْ themselves يَظْلِمُونَ doing wrong ٧٠

Has there not reached them the news of those before them - the people of Noah and [the tribes of] ʿAad and Thamūd and the people of Abraham and the companions [i.e., dwellers] of Madyan and the towns overturned? Their messengers came to them with clear proofs. And Allāh would never have wronged them, but they were wronging themselves.
