وَلَقَدْ And certainly أَرْسَلْنَا We have sent رُسُلًۭا Messengers مِّن before you قَبْلِكَ before you مِنْهُم Among them مَّن (are) who قَصَصْنَا We have related عَلَيْكَ to you وَمِنْهُم and among them مَّن (are) who لَّمْ not نَقْصُصْ We have related عَلَيْكَ ۗ to you وَمَا And not كَانَ is لِرَسُولٍ for any Messenger أَن that يَأْتِىَ he brings بِـَٔايَةٍ a Sign إِلَّا except بِإِذْنِ by (the) permission ٱللَّهِ ۚ (of) Allah فَإِذَا So when جَآءَ comes أَمْرُ (the) Command ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah قُضِىَ it will be decided بِٱلْحَقِّ in truth وَخَسِرَ and will lose هُنَالِكَ there ٱلْمُبْطِلُونَ the falsifiers ٧٨

And We have already sent messengers before you. Among them are those [whose stories] We have related to you, and among them are those [whose stories] We have not related to you. And it was not for any messenger to bring a sign [or verse] except by permission of Allāh. So when the command of Allāh comes, it will be concluded [i.e., judged] in truth, and the falsifiers will thereupon lose [all].

وَلَكُمْ And for you فِيهَا in them مَنَـٰفِعُ (are) benefits وَلِتَبْلُغُوا۟ and that you may reach عَلَيْهَا through them حَاجَةًۭ a need فِى (that is) in صُدُورِكُمْ your breasts وَعَلَيْهَا and upon them وَعَلَى and upon ٱلْفُلْكِ the ships تُحْمَلُونَ you are carried ٨٠

And for you therein are [other] benefits and that you may realize upon them a need which is in your breasts; and upon them and upon ships you are carried.

وَيُرِيكُمْ And He shows you ءَايَـٰتِهِۦ His Signs فَأَىَّ Then which ءَايَـٰتِ (of the) Signs ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah تُنكِرُونَ will you deny ٨١

And He shows you His signs. So which of the signs of Allāh do you deny?

أَفَلَمْ Do they not يَسِيرُوا۟ travel فِى through ٱلْأَرْضِ the land فَيَنظُرُوا۟ and see كَيْفَ how كَانَ was عَـٰقِبَةُ (the) end ٱلَّذِينَ (of) those who مِن (were) before them قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ (were) before them كَانُوٓا۟ They were أَكْثَرَ more numerous مِنْهُمْ than them وَأَشَدَّ and mightier قُوَّةًۭ (in) strength وَءَاثَارًۭا and impressions فِى in ٱلْأَرْضِ the land فَمَآ but not أَغْنَىٰ availed عَنْهُم them مَّا what كَانُوا۟ they used to يَكْسِبُونَ earn ٨٢

Have they not traveled through the land and observed how was the end of those before them? They were more numerous than themselves and greater in strength and in impression on the land, but they were not availed by what they used to earn.

فَلَمَّا Then when جَآءَتْهُمْ came to them رُسُلُهُم their Messengers بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ with clear proofs فَرِحُوا۟ they rejoiced بِمَا in what عِندَهُم they had مِّنَ of ٱلْعِلْمِ the knowledge وَحَاقَ and enveloped بِهِم them مَّا what كَانُوا۟ they used to بِهِۦ [at it] يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ mock ٨٣

And when their messengers came to them with clear proofs, they [merely] rejoiced in what they had of knowledge, but they were enveloped by what they used to ridicule.

فَلَمَّا So when رَأَوْا۟ they saw بَأْسَنَا Our punishment قَالُوٓا۟ they said ءَامَنَّا We believe بِٱللَّهِ in Allah وَحْدَهُۥ Alone وَكَفَرْنَا and we disbelieve بِمَا in what كُنَّا we used to بِهِۦ with Him مُشْرِكِينَ associate ٨٤

And when they saw Our punishment, they said, "We believe in Allāh alone and disbelieve in that which we used to associate with Him."

فَلَمْ But did not يَكُ But did not يَنفَعُهُمْ benefit them إِيمَـٰنُهُمْ their faith لَمَّا when رَأَوْا۟ they saw بَأْسَنَا ۖ Our punishment سُنَّتَ (Such is the) Way ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah ٱلَّتِى which قَدْ (has) indeed خَلَتْ preceded فِى among عِبَادِهِۦ ۖ His slaves وَخَسِرَ And are lost هُنَالِكَ there ٱلْكَـٰفِرُونَ the disbelievers ٨٥

But never did their faith benefit them once they saw Our punishment. [It is] the established way of Allāh which has preceded among His servants. And the disbelievers thereupon lost [all].
