وَلَقَدْ And certainly walaqad We had established them makkannāhum in what fīmā not in We have established you makkannākum in it fīhi and We made wajaʿalnā for them lahum hearing samʿan and vision wa-abṣāran and hearts wa-afidatan But not famā availed aghnā them ʿanhum their hearing samʿuhum and not walā their vision abṣāruhum and not walā their hearts afidatuhum any min thing shayin when idh they were kānū rejecting yajḥadūna (the) Signs biāyāti (of) Allah l-lahi and enveloped waḥāqa them bihim what mā they used to kānū [at it] bihi ridicule yastahziūna

وَلَقَدْ And certainly walaqad We destroyed ahlaknā what mā surrounds you ḥawlakum of mina the towns l-qurā and We have diversified waṣarrafnā the Signs l-āyāti that they may laʿallahum return yarjiʿūna

Pero aquellos ídolos que adoraban como divinidades en lugar de Dios se desvanecieron y no les auxiliaron, pues solo eran una falsedad que ellos habían inventado.
