He it is created you from clay, and then decreed a stated term (for you). And there is in His presence another determined term; yet ye doubt within yourselves!

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).

他用泥创造你们，然后判定一个期限，还有一个预定的期限；你们对于这点却是怀疑的。

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。
