۞ وَٱذْكُرْ And mention wa-udh'kur (the) brother akhā (of) Aad ʿādin when idh he warned andhara his people qawmahu in the Al-Ahqaf bil-aḥqāfi and had already passed away waqad and had already passed away khalati [the] warners l-nudhuru before him min before him bayni before him yadayhi and after him wamin and after him khalfihi That not allā you worship taʿbudū except illā Allah l-laha Indeed, I innī [I] fear akhāfu for you ʿalaykum a punishment ʿadhāba (of) a Day yawmin Great ʿaẓīmin
Y recuerda [¡Oh, Muhámmad!] al hermano de la tribu de ‘Ad, [el profeta Hud] cuando advirtió a su pueblo en las dunas [donde habitaban]. Todos los Mensajeros que fueron enviados, antes y después de él, decían a sus pueblos: “No adoréis sino a Dios, temo que os azote el castigo de un día terrible”.
قَالُوٓا۟ They said qālū Have you come to us aji'tanā to turn us away litafikanā from ʿan our gods ālihatinā Then bring us fatinā what bimā you threaten us taʿidunā if in you are kunta of mina the truthful l-ṣādiqīna
Dijeron: “¿Has venido a nosotros para convencernos de que nos alejemos de nuestros dioses? Haz que se desencadene sobre nosotros aquello con que nos amenazas, si es que dices la verdad”.
قَالَ He said qāla Only innamā the knowledge l-ʿil'mu (is) with Allah ʿinda (is) with Allah l-lahi and I convey to you wa-uballighukum what mā I am sent ur'sil'tu with it bihi but walākinnī I see you arākum a people qawman ignorant tajhalūna
Dijo [el profeta Hud]: “Solo Dios sabe cuándo llegará [ese día], yo solo os transmito el Mensaje con el que fui enviado, pero veo que sois un pueblo que se comporta como los ignorantes”.
فَلَمَّا Then when falammā they saw it ra-awhu (as) a cloud ʿāriḍan approaching mus'taqbila their valleys awdiyatihim they said qālū This hādhā (is) a cloud ʿāriḍun bringing us rain mum'ṭirunā Nay bal it huwa (is) what mā you were asking it to be hastened is'taʿjaltum you were asking it to be hastened bihi a wind rīḥun in it fīhā (is) a punishment ʿadhābun painful alīmun
Y cuando vieron algo como una nube que se acercaba a sus valles, dijeron: “Esta es una nube que nos trae lluvia”. [Pero su Mensajero les dijo:] “No, es el castigo que reclamabais: un viento que encierra un castigo doloroso
تُدَمِّرُ Destroying tudammiru every kulla thing shayin by (the) command bi-amri (of) its Lord rabbihā Then they became (such) fa-aṣbaḥū not lā is seen yurā except illā their dwellings masākinuhum Thus kadhālika We recompense najzī the people l-qawma [the] criminals l-muj'rimīna
y destruye todo por orden de su Señor”. Cuando amaneció, solo podían verse sus moradas [vacías]; así castigo a los transgresores.
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
Les había concedido mayor fortaleza que a vosotros, y los había dotado de oído, vista y entendimiento. Pero de nada les sirvieron sus oídos, sus ojos y su inteligencia, pues negaron los signos de Dios y merecieron el castigo del que se burlaban.
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
Destruí en el pasado pueblos que había a su alrededor, después de haberles enviado todo tipo de signos para que recapacitaran.
فَلَوْلَا Then why (did) not falawlā help them naṣarahumu those whom alladhīna they had taken ittakhadhū besides min besides dūni Allah l-lahi gods as a way of approach qur'bānan gods as a way of approach ālihatan Nay bal they were lost ḍallū from them ʿanhum And that wadhālika (was) their falsehood if'kuhum and what wamā they were kānū inventing yaftarūna
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.
