Then they ham-strung the she-camel, and insolently defied the order of their Lord, saying: "O Salih! bring about thy threats, if thou art a messenger (of Allah)!"

Such as fear not the meeting with Us (for Judgment) say: "Why are not the angels sent down to us, or (why) do we not see our Lord?" Indeed they have an arrogant conceit of themselves, and mighty is the insolence of their impiety!

他们宰了那只母驼，违抗他们主的命令，他们并说：“撒立哈啊！你把你用来警告我们的刑罚拿来给我们看看吧，如果你是使者的话！”

不希望与我相会者曾说：“怎么不使众天神降临我们，或者得见我们的主呢？”他们确已妄自尊大，确已大逆不道。
