(The angels say:) "We descend not but by command of thy Lord: to Him belongeth what is before us and what is behind us, and what is between: and thy Lord never doth forget,-

"Everything will it destroy by the command of its Lord!" Then by the morning they - nothing was to be seen but (the ruins of) their houses! thus do We recompense those given to sin!

我们唯奉你的主的命令而随时降临，在我们面前的，在我们后面的，以及在我们前后之间的（事情），他都知道。你的主是不忘记的。

它奉它的主的命令而毁灭一切。一旦之间，不见他们，只见他们的房屋。我要如此报酬犯罪的民众。
