وَلَقَدْ آتَیْنَا مُوسَى الْکِتَابَ وَجَعَلْنَا مَعَهُ أَخَاهُ هَارُونَ وَزِیر(( 35 ))

35- AND VERILY WE GAVE MOSES THE BOOK (TOWRÄT), AND MADE HIS BROTHER AARON AS A MINISTER WITH HIM.

فَقُلْنَا اذْهَبَا إِلَى الْقَوْمِ الَّذِینَ کَذَّبُوا بِآیَاتِنَا فَدَمَّرْنَاهُمْ تَدْمِیر(( 36 ))

36- THEN WE SAID:ِ ``GO YOU TWO, TO THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BELIED OUR SIGNS. THEN WE DESTROYED THEM UTTERLY.

وَقَوْمَ نُوح لَّمَّا کَذَّبُوا الرُّسُلَ أَغْرَقْنَاهُمْ وَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ لِلنَّاسِ آیَةً وَأَعْتَدْنَا لِلظَّالِمِینَ عَذَاباً أَلِیم(( 37 ))

37- AND THE PEOPLE OF NOAH, WHEN THEY BELIED THE MESSENGERS, WE DROWNED THEM AND MADE THEM A SIGN FOR PEOPLE, AND WE HAVE PREPARED FOR THE OPPRESSORS A PAINFUL PUNISHMENT.

وَعَاداً وَثَمُودَ وَأَصْحَابَ الرَّسِّ وَقُرُوناً بَیْنَ ذَلِکَ کَثِیر(( 38 ))

38- AND طD, AND THAMUD, AND THE COMPANION OF RASS (A PEOPLE WHO WORSHIPPED PINE TREE), AND MANY GENERATIONS BETWEEN THEM.

وَکُلّاً ضَرَبْنَا لَهُ الاَْمْثَالَ وَکُلّاً تَبَّرْنَا تَتْبِیر(( 39 ))

39- AND FOR ALL OF THEM WE STRUCK SIMILITUDE (AND WHEN OF NO USE), WE BROKE THEM ALL TO UTTER DESTRUCTION.

وَلَقَدْ أَتَوْا عَلَى الْقَرْیَةِ الَّتِى أُمْطِرَتْ مَطَرَ السَّوْءِ أَفَلَمْ یَکُونُوا یَرَوْنَهَا بَلْ کَانُوا لاَ یَرْجُونَ نُشُور(( 40 ))

40- AND VERILY THEY HAVE PASSED BY THE TOWN ON WHICH IT RAINED A BAD RAIN. HAVE THEY NOT SEEN IT? YES. BUT THEY DON'T EXPECT THE UPRAISING.
