Surely We destroyed the nations (which had risen to heights of glory in their times) before you when they indulged in wrong-doing and refused to believe even when their Messengers brought clear signs to them. Thus do We recompense the people who are guilty.
و قطعاً نسلهاى پيش از شما را هنگامى كه ستم كردند به هلاكت رسانديم، و پيامبرانشان دلايل آشكار برايشان آوردند و[لى‌] بر آن نبودند كه ايمان بياورند. اين گونه مردم بزهكار را جزا مى‌دهيم.
