وَأَمَّا الَّذينَ فَسَقوا فَمَأواهُمُ النّارُ ۖ كُلَّما أَرادوا أَن يَخرُجوا مِنها أُعيدوا فيها وَقيلَ لَهُم ذوقوا عَذابَ النّارِ الَّذي كُنتُم بِهِ تُكَذِّبونَ

But for those who defiantly disobey, their dwelling will be the Fire. Every time they wish to get out of it, they will be returned to it, and it will be said to them, “Taste the punishment of the Fire which you used to deny.”

وَلَنُذيقَنَّهُم مِنَ العَذابِ الأَدنىٰ دونَ العَذابِ الأَكبَرِ لَعَلَّهُم يَرجِعونَ

We will make them taste the lesser suffering, before the greater suffering, so they may return.

وَمَن أَظلَمُ مِمَّن ذُكِّرَ بِآياتِ رَبِّهِ ثُمَّ أَعرَضَ عَنها ۚ إِنّا مِنَ المُجرِمينَ مُنتَقِمونَ

Who is more unjust than the one who, when reminded of his Lord’s verses, turns away from them? We will take revenge on the criminals.

وَلَقَد آتَينا موسَى الكِتابَ فَلا تَكُن في مِريَةٍ مِن لِقائِهِ ۖ وَجَعَلناهُ هُدًى لِبَني إِسرائيلَ

We gave Moses the Scripture, so don’t be in doubt about His meeting. And We made it a guide for the Children of Israel.

وَجَعَلنا مِنهُم أَئِمَّةً يَهدونَ بِأَمرِنا لَمّا صَبَروا ۖ وَكانوا بِآياتِنا يوقِنونَ

We selected leaders from among them, who, under Our guidance, directed others, as long as they demonstrated steadfastness and had unwavering belief in Our revelations.

أَوَلَم يَهدِ لَهُم كَم أَهلَكنا مِن قَبلِهِم مِنَ القُرونِ يَمشونَ في مَساكِنِهِم ۚ إِنَّ في ذٰلِكَ لَآياتٍ ۖ أَفَلا يَسمَعونَ

Isn’t it a lesson for them, how many generations We destroyed before them, in whose dwellings they walk? Indeed in that are signs; do they not hear?

أَوَلَم يَرَوا أَنّا نَسوقُ الماءَ إِلَى الأَرضِ الجُرُزِ فَنُخرِجُ بِهِ زَرعًا تَأكُلُ مِنهُ أَنعامُهُم وَأَنفُسُهُم ۖ أَفَلا يُبصِرونَ

Don’t they see that We drive water to barren land, and with it, We produce crops that they and their livestock eat? Can’t they see?

وَيَقولونَ مَتىٰ هـٰذَا الفَتحُ إِن كُنتُم صادِقينَ

And they say, “When will this judgment come, if you are truthful?”

قُل يَومَ الفَتحِ لا يَنفَعُ الَّذينَ كَفَروا إيمانُهُم وَلا هُم يُنظَرونَ

Say, “On the day of judgment, the faith of those who disbelieved won’t benefit them, nor will they be reprieved.”

فَأَعرِض عَنهُم وَانتَظِر إِنَّهُم مُنتَظِرونَ

So turn away from them and wait, they are also waiting.
