فَكَيۡفَ كَانَ عَذَابِي وَنُذُرِ
Then, how (terrible) was My Torment and My Warnings?
وَلَقَدۡ يَسَّرۡنَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ لِلذِّكۡرِ فَهَلۡ مِن مُّدَّكِرٖ
And We have indeed made the Quran easy to understand and remember, then is there any that will remember (or receive admonition)?
كَذَّبَتۡ ثَمُودُ بِٱلنُّذُرِ
Thamud (people also) belied the warnings.
فَقَالُوٓاْ أَبَشَرٗا مِّنَّا وَٰحِدٗا نَّتَّبِعُهُۥٓ إِنَّآ إِذٗا لَّفِي ضَلَٰلٖ وَسُعُرٍ
For they said: "A man! Alone from among us, that we are to follow? Truly, then we should be in error and distress or madness!"
أَءُلۡقِيَ ٱلذِّكۡرُ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۢ بَيۡنِنَا بَلۡ هُوَ كَذَّابٌ أَشِرٞ
"Is it that the Reminder is sent to him [Prophet Salih (Saleh)] alone from among us? Nay, he is an insolent liar!"
سَيَعۡلَمُونَ غَدٗا مَّنِ ٱلۡكَذَّابُ ٱلۡأَشِرُ
Tomorrow they will come to know, who is the liar, the insolent one!
إِنَّا مُرۡسِلُواْ ٱلنَّاقَةِ فِتۡنَةٗ لَّهُمۡ فَٱرۡتَقِبۡهُمۡ وَٱصۡطَبِرۡ
Verily, We are sending the she-camel as a test for them. So watch them [O Salih (Saleh)], and be patient!
