وَمَا And what لَنَآ (is) for us أَلَّا that not نَتَوَكَّلَ we put our trust عَلَى upon ٱللَّهِ Allah وَقَدْ while certainly هَدَىٰنَا He has guided us سُبُلَنَا ۚ to our ways وَلَنَصْبِرَنَّ And surely we will bear with patience عَلَىٰ on مَآ what ءَاذَيْتُمُونَا ۚ harm you may cause us وَعَلَى And upon ٱللَّهِ Allah فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ so let put (their) trust ٱلْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ the ones who put (their) trust ١٢

And why should we not rely upon Allāh while He has guided us to our [good] ways. And we will surely be patient against whatever harm you should cause us. And upon Allāh let those who would rely [indeed] rely."

وَقَالَ And said ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieved لِرُسُلِهِمْ to their Messengers لَنُخْرِجَنَّكُم Surely we will drive you out مِّنْ of أَرْضِنَآ our land أَوْ or لَتَعُودُنَّ surely you should return فِى to مِلَّتِنَا ۖ our religion فَأَوْحَىٰٓ So inspired إِلَيْهِمْ to them رَبُّهُمْ their Lord لَنُهْلِكَنَّ We will surely destroy ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ the wrongdoers ١٣
