9 Have they not travelled in the earth and seen how was the end of those before them? They were stronger than these in prowess, and dug up the earth, and built on it in greater abundance than these have built on it, and there came to them their apostles with clear arguments; so it was not beseeming for Allah that He should deal with them unjustly, but they dealt unjustly with their own souls.
9 Je! Hawatembei katika ardhi wakaona ulivyo kuwa mwisho wa walio kuwa kabla yao? Nao walikuwa na nguvu zaidi kuliko wao, na wakaitimbua ardhi na wakaistawisha zaidi kuliko walivyo istawisha wao. Na Mitume wao wakawajia na dalili zilizo wazi. Basi hakuwa Mwenyezi Mungu ni mwenye kuwadhulumu, lakini walikuwa wakijidhulumu nafsi zao.
