Have they not considered how many generations We destroyed before them? We had established them on earth more firmly than We established you, and We sent the clouds pouring down abundant rain on them, and We made rivers flow beneath them. But We destroyed them for their sins, and established other civilizations after them.
われはかれら以前に，次から次に幾世代も滅ぼしたかを，あなたがたは考えないのか。われは地上でかれらを代々安住させ，あなたがたにすらしなかったものを与えた。われは，かれらの上に雲を送り（雨を）注ぎ降らせ，その足許に川を流れさせた。だが凡ての罪のためにかれらを滅ぼし，その跡に外の世代を出現させた。
