116 But why were there not among the generations before you those possessing understanding, who should have forbidden the making of mischief in the earth, except a few of those whom We delivered from among them? And those who were unjust went after what they are made to enjoy of plenty, and they were guilty.
116 Basi mbona hawakuwamo katika watu wa kabla yenu wenye vyeo na wasaa wanao kataza uharibifu katika nchi, isipo kuwa wachache tu, ambao ndio tulio waokoa? Na walio dhulumu walifuata starehe zao, na wakawa ni wakosefu.
