وَلَقَدْ أَخَذْنَاهُم بِالْعَذَابِ فَمَا اسْتَكَانُوا لِرَبِّهِمْ وَمَا يَتَضَرَّعُونَ
Walaqad akhathnahum bialAAathabi fama istakanoo lirabbihim wama yatadarraAAoona
And verily We seized them with the punishment but not they submit to their Lord and not they supplicate humbly
And, indeed, We tested them through suffering, but they did not abase themselves before their Sustainer; and they will never humble themselves
We inflicted Punishment on them, but they humbled not themselves to their Lord, nor do they submissively entreat (Him)!-
Already have We grasped them with punishment, but they humble not themselves unto their Lord, nor do they pray,
And already We seized them with chastisement, but they were not submissive to their Lord, nor did they humble themselves.
And We had gripped them with suffering [as a warning], but they did not yield to their Lord, nor did they humbly supplicate, [and will continue thus]
