Translation

Nor was thy Lord the one to destroy a population until He had sent to its centre a messenger, rehearsing to them Our Signs; nor are We going to destroy a population except when its members practise iniquity.

Rabbin, kendilerine âyetlerimizi okuyan bir peygamberi memleketlerin ana merkezlerine göndermedikçe, memleketleri helâk edici değildir. Zaten biz, ancak halkı zalim olan memleketleri helâk etmişizdir.

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazır · TR · public-domain

Rabbin, kendilerine ayetlerimizi tilavet eden (okuyup aktaran) bir elçiyi şehirlerin merkezine gönderinceye kadar o şehirleri helak edici değildir. (Zaten) biz halkı zalim olan şehirlerden başkasını da helak ediciler değildik.

Mehmet Okuyan · TR · all-rights-reserved

And never did thy Lord destroy the townships, till He had raised up in their mother(-town) a messenger reciting unto them Our revelations. And never did We destroy the townships unless the folk thereof were evil-doers.
