قَالُوا يَا وَيْلَنَا إِنَّا كُنَّا طَاغِينَ
31. They said, "O woe to us; indeed we were transgressors.
عَسَىٰ رَبُّنَا أَنْ يُبْدِلَنَا خَيْرًا مِنْهَا إِنَّا إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا رَاغِبُونَ
32. Perhaps our Lord will substitute for us [one] better than it. Indeed, we are toward our Lord desirous."
مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ
36. What is [the matter] with you? How do you judge?
أَمْ لَكُمْ كِتَابٌ فِيهِ تَدْرُسُونَ
37. Or do you have a scripture in which you learn
إِنَّ لَكُمْ فِيهِ لَمَا تَخَيَّرُونَ
38. That indeed for you is whatever you choose?
أَمْ لَكُمْ أَيْمَانٌ عَلَيْنَا بَالِغَةٌ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ۙ إِنَّ لَكُمْ لَمَا تَحْكُمُونَ
39. Or do you have oaths [binding] upon Us, extending until the Day of Resurrection, that indeed for you is whatever you judge?
سَلْهُمْ أَيُّهُمْ بِذَٰلِكَ زَعِيمٌ
40. Ask them which of them, for that [claim], is responsible.
أَمْ لَهُمْ شُرَكَاءُ فَلْيَأْتُوا بِشُرَكَائِهِمْ إِنْ كَانُوا صَادِقِينَ
41. Or do they have partners? Then let them bring their partners, if they should be truthful.
فَمَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حَاجِزِينَ
47. And there is no one of you who could prevent [Us] from him.
وَجَمَعَ فَأَوْعَىٰ
18. And collected [wealth] and hoarded.
