ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرۡجِعَهُمۡ لَإِلَى ٱلۡجَحِيمِ
Thereafter surely their return indeed is to Hell-Fire.
إِنَّهُمۡ أَلۡفَوۡاْ ءَابَآءَهُمۡ ضَآلِّينَ
Surely they came upon their fathers erring,
فَهُمۡ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِمۡ يُهۡرَعُونَ
So they are made to hurry in their tracks.
وَلَقَدۡ ضَلَّ قَبۡلَهُمۡ أَكۡثَرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
And indeed before them already erred away most of the earliest (people),
وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ
And indeed We already sent among them warners.
فَٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ
So look into how was the end of the warned people,
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ
Except for the most faithful bondmen of Allah.
وَلَقَدۡ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٞ فَلَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمُجِيبُونَ
And indeed, Nuh (Noah) already called out to Us; (i.e., Allah, through the Angels) so how excellent indeed were The Answerers!
وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ
And We safely delivered him and his family from the tremendous agony;
