وَإِنِّي عُذْتُ بِرَبِّي وَرَبِّكُمْ أَنْ تَرْجُمُونِ
20. And indeed, I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me.
وَإِنْ لَمْ تُؤْمِنُوا لِي فَاعْتَزِلُونِ
21. But if you do not believe me, then leave me alone."
فَدَعَا رَبَّهُ أَنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ قَوْمٌ مُجْرِمُونَ
22. And [finally] he called to his Lord that these were a criminal people.
وَاتْرُكِ الْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا ۖ إِنَّهُمْ جُنْدٌ مُغْرَقُونَ
24. And leave the sea in stillness. Indeed, they are an army to be drowned."
فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّمَاءُ وَالْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا مُنْظَرِينَ
29. And the heaven and earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved.
إِنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ لَيَقُولُونَ
34. Indeed, these [disbelievers] are saying,
إِنْ هِيَ إِلَّا مَوْتَتُنَا الْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُنْشَرِينَ
35. "There is not but our first death, and we will not be resurrected.
فَأْتُوا بِآبَائِنَا إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ
36. Then bring [back] our forefathers, if you should be truthful."
أَهُمْ خَيْرٌ أَمْ قَوْمُ تُبَّعٍ وَالَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ أَهْلَكْنَاهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مُجْرِمِينَ
37. Are they better or the people of Tubba' and those before them? We destroyed them, [for] indeed, they were criminals.
وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَاعِبِينَ
38. And We did not create the heavens and earth and that between them in play.
