يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you yāayyuhā who alladhīna (have) been given ūtū the Book l-kitāba believe āminū in what bimā We (have) revealed nazzalnā confirming muṣaddiqan what is limā with you maʿakum from min before qabli [that] an We efface naṭmisa faces wujūhan and turn them fanaruddahā on ʿalā their backs adbārihā or aw We curse them nalʿanahum as kamā We cursed laʿannā companions aṣḥāba (of) the Sabbath l-sabti And is wakāna (the) command amru (of) Allah l-lahi (always) executed mafʿūlan
O you who were given the Scripture, believe in what We have sent down [to Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)], confirming that which is with you, before We obliterate faces and turn them toward their backs or curse them as We cursed the sabbath-breakers.1 And ever is the matter [i.e., decree] of Allāh accomplished.
