فَذوقوا عَذابي وَنُذُرِ
So taste My punishment and warnings.
وَلَقَد يَسَّرنَا القُرآنَ لِلذِّكرِ فَهَل مِن مُدَّكِرٍ
We made the Quran easy to memorize. Is there anyone who will memorize?
وَلَقَد جاءَ آلَ فِرعَونَ النُّذُرُ
Warnings had come to the House of Pharaoh.
كَذَّبوا بِآياتِنا كُلِّها فَأَخَذناهُم أَخذَ عَزيزٍ مُقتَدِرٍ
They rejected all Our signs, so We seized them with the grip of an Almighty Omnipotent.
أَكُفّارُكُم خَيرٌ مِن أُولـٰئِكُم أَم لَكُم بَراءَةٌ فِي الزُّبُرِ
Are your unbelievers better than those? Or do you have immunity in the Scriptures?
أَم يَقولونَ نَحنُ جَميعٌ مُنتَصِرٌ
Or do they say, “We are a united multitude, bound for victory”?
سَيُهزَمُ الجَمعُ وَيُوَلّونَ الدُّبُرَ
The multitude will be defeated, and they will turn their backs and flee.
بَلِ السّاعَةُ مَوعِدُهُم وَالسّاعَةُ أَدهىٰ وَأَمَرُّ
Their appointed moment is the Hour. The Hour is most catastrophic and bitter.
إِنَّ المُجرِمينَ في ضَلالٍ وَسُعُرٍ
The criminals are in disarray and madness.
يَومَ يُسحَبونَ فِي النّارِ عَلىٰ وُجوهِهِم ذوقوا مَسَّ سَقَرَ
On that Day, they will be pulled, face-down, into the Fire: “Taste the touch of Hell.”
إِنّا كُلَّ شَيءٍ خَلَقناهُ بِقَدَرٍ
We created everything according to a precise measure.
