Order of Revelation: 47وَلَا تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوءٍ فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
Wala tamassooha bisoo-in faya/khuthakum AAathabu yawmin AAatheemin
And (do) not touch her with harm, lest seize you (the) punishment (of) a Day Great."
and do her no harm, lest suffering befall you on an awesome day!"
"Touch her not with harm, lest the Penalty of a Great Day seize you."
And touch her not with ill lest there come on you the retribution of an awful day.
And touch her not with evil, lest the chastisement of a grievous day overtake you.
And do not touch her with harm, lest you be seized by the punishment of a terrible day."
فَعَقَرُوهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا نَادِمِينَ
FaAAaqarooha faasbahoo nadimeena
But they hamstrung her, then they became regretful.
But they cruelly slaughtered her - and then they had cause to regret it:
But they ham-strung her: then did they become full of regrets.
But they hamstrung her, and then were penitent.
But the hamstrung her, then regretted,
But they hamstrung her and so became regretful.
فَأَخَذَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
Faakhathahumu alAAathabu inna fee thalika laayatan wama kana aktharuhum mu/mineena
So seized them the punishment. Indeed, in that surely is a sign, but not are most of them believers.
for the suffering [predicted by Salih,] befell them [then and there]. In this [story], behold, there is a message [unto men], even though most of them will not believe [in it].
But the Penalty seized them. Verily in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe.
So the retribution came on them. Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers.
So the chastisement overtook them. Surely there is a sign in this; yet most of them believe not.
And the punishment seized them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ
Wa-inna rabbaka lahuwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu
And indeed, your Lord, surely He (is) the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
But, verily, thy Sustainer - He alone is almighty, a dispenser of grace!
And verily thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.
And lo! thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.
And surely thy Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
