وَلَقَدْ And certainly صَرَّفْنَا We have explained فِى in هَـٰذَا this ٱلْقُرْءَانِ the Quran لِلنَّاسِ for mankind مِن of كُلِّ every مَثَلٍۢ ۚ example وَكَانَ But is ٱلْإِنسَـٰنُ the man أَكْثَرَ (in) most شَىْءٍۢ things جَدَلًۭا quarrelsome ٥٤

And We have certainly diversified in this Qur’ān for the people from every [kind of] example; but man has ever been, most of anything, [prone to] dispute.

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 قُبُلًۭا before (them) ٥٥

And nothing has prevented the people from believing when guidance came to them and from asking forgiveness of their Lord except that there [must] befall them the [accustomed] precedent of the former peoples or that the punishment should come [directly] before them.

وَمَا And not نُرْسِلُ We send ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ the Messengers إِلَّا except مُبَشِّرِينَ (as) bearers of glad tidings وَمُنذِرِينَ ۚ and (as) warners وَيُجَـٰدِلُ And dispute ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieve بِٱلْبَـٰطِلِ with falsehood لِيُدْحِضُوا۟ to refute بِهِ thereby ٱلْحَقَّ ۖ the truth وَٱتَّخَذُوٓا۟ And they take ءَايَـٰتِى My Verses وَمَآ and what أُنذِرُوا۟ they are warned هُزُوًۭا (in) ridicule ٥٦

And We send not the messengers except as bringers of good tidings and warners. And those who disbelieve dispute by [using] falsehood to [attempt to] invalidate thereby the truth and have taken My verses, and that of which they are warned, in ridicule.

وَمَنْ And who أَظْلَمُ (is) more wrong مِمَّن than (he) who ذُكِّرَ is reminded بِـَٔايَـٰتِ 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 وَقْرًۭا ۖ (is) deafness وَإِن And if تَدْعُهُمْ you call them إِلَى to ٱلْهُدَىٰ the guidance فَلَن then never يَهْتَدُوٓا۟ they will be guided إِذًا then أَبَدًۭا ever ٥٧

And who is more unjust than one who is reminded of the verses of his Lord but turns away from them and forgets what his hands have put forth? Indeed, We have placed over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness. And if you invite them to guidance - they will never be guided, then - 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 مَّوْعِدٌۭ (is) an appointment لَّن never يَجِدُوا۟ they will find مِن other than it دُونِهِۦ other than it مَوْئِلًۭا an escape ٥٨

And your Lord is the Forgiving, the possessor of mercy. If He were to impose blame upon them for what they earned, He would have hastened for them the punishment. Rather, for them is an appointment from which they will never find an escape.

But when they reached the junction between them, they forgot their fish, and it took its course into the sea, slipping away.
