Had it not been for a Word that went forth before from thy Lord, (their punishment) must necessarily have come; but there is a Term appointed (for respite).

Say (to the Rejecters): "My Lord is not uneasy because of you if ye call not on Him: But ye have indeed rejected (Him), and soon will come the inevitable (punishment)!"

要不是有一句话从你的主预先发出，要不是有期限，你的主加以预定， 那么，（毁灭对于他们）是必然的。

你说：“假若没有你们的祈祷，我的主并不关切你们，但你们既已否认真理，你们将要受无法解脱的刑罚。”
