وَمَآ And not wamā We sent arsalnā before you qablaka except illā men rijālan We revealed nūḥī to them ilayhim So ask fasalū (the) people ahla (of) the Reminder l-dhik'ri if in you kuntum (do) not lā know taʿlamūna
And We sent not before you, [O Muḥammad], except men to whom We revealed [the message], so ask the people of the message [i.e., former scriptures] if you do not know.
وَمَا And not wamā We made them jaʿalnāhum bodies jasadan not lā eating yakulūna the food l-ṭaʿāma and not wamā they were kānū immortals khālidīna
And We did not make them [i.e., the prophets] forms not eating food, nor were they immortal [on earth].
ثُمَّ Then thumma We fulfilled (for) them ṣadaqnāhumu the promise l-waʿda and We saved them fa-anjaynāhum and whom waman We willed nashāu and We destroyed wa-ahlaknā the transgressors l-mus'rifīna
Then We fulfilled for them the promise, and We saved them and whom We willed and destroyed the transgressors.
