فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَيۡهِم مَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ مُؤۡمِنِينَ
And had he recited it to them, they would not have believed in it.
كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكۡنَٰهُ فِي قُلُوبِ ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِينَ
Thus have We caused it to enter the hearts of the sinners.
لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُاْ ٱلۡعَذَابَ ٱلۡأَلِيمَ
They will not believe in it until they see the grievous Penalty;
فَيَأۡتِيَهُم بَغۡتَةٗ وَهُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ
But the (Penalty) will come to them of a sudden, while they perceive it not;
فَيَقُولُواْ هَلۡ نَحۡنُ مُنظَرُونَ
Then they will say: "Shall we be respited?"
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسۡتَعۡجِلُونَ
Do they then ask for Our Penalty to be hastened on?
أَفَرَءَيۡتَ إِن مَّتَّعۡنَٰهُمۡ سِنِينَ
Seest thou? If We do let them enjoy (this life) for a few years,
ثُمَّ جَآءَهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يُوعَدُونَ
Yet there comes to them at length the (Punishment) which they were promised!
مَآ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنۡهُم مَّا كَانُواْ يُمَتَّعُونَ
It will profit them not that they enjoyed (this life)!
