وَإِذَا And when wa-idhā are recited tut'lā to them ʿalayhim Our Verses āyātunā they say qālū Verily qad we have heard samiʿ'nā if law we wish nashāu surely, we could say laqul'nā like mith'la this hādhā Not in is this hādhā but illā tales asāṭīru (of) the former (people) l-awalīna
And when Our verses are recited to them, they say, "We have heard. If we willed, we could say [something] like this. This is not but legends of the former peoples."
وَإِذْ And when wa-idh they said qālū O Allah l-lahuma If in was kāna this hādhā [it] huwa the truth l-ḥaqa [of] min from You ʿindika then (send) rain fa-amṭir upon us ʿalaynā (of) stones ḥijāratan from mina the sky l-samāi or awi bring (upon) us i'tinā a punishment biʿadhābin painful alīmin
And [remember] when they said, "O Allāh, if this should be the truth from You, then rain down upon us stones from the sky or bring us a painful punishment."
وَمَا But not wamā is kāna (for) Allah l-lahu that He punishes them liyuʿadhibahum while you wa-anta (are) among them fīhim and not wamā is kāna Allah l-lahu the One Who punishes them muʿadhibahum while they wahum seek forgiveness yastaghfirūna
But Allāh would not punish them while you, [O Muḥammad], are among them, and Allāh would not punish them while they seek forgiveness.
