وَكَمۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا مِن نَّبِيّٖ فِي ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
Que de prophètes avons-Nous envoyés aux Anciens
Al-Jalalayn — Al-Jalalayn
And how many a prophet did We send among the ancients!
وَمَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن نَّبِيٍّ إِلَّا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ
et pas un prophète ne leur venait qu'ils ne le tournaient en dérision
Al-Jalalayn — Al-Jalalayn
And never did a prophet come to them but that they used to deride him in the same way that your people deride you — this statement is intended to comfort the Prophet s.
فَأَهۡلَكۡنَآ أَشَدَّ مِنۡهُم بَطۡشٗا وَمَضَىٰ مَثَلُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ
Nous avons fait périr de plus redoutables qu'eux! Et on a déjà cité l'exemple des anciens
Al-Jalalayn — Al-Jalalayn
So We destroyed those who were mightier than them — than your people — in prowess strength and already there passed there has been mentioned in previous verses the example of the ancients the description of how they were destroyed and thus the sequel for your people will be the same.
وَلَئِن سَأَلۡتَهُم مَّنۡ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ خَلَقَهُنَّ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ
Et si tu leur demandes: «Qui a créé les cieux et la terre?» Ils diront très certainement: «Le Puissant, l'Omniscient les a créés»
Al-Jalalayn — Al-Jalalayn
And if wa-la-in the lām is for oaths you ask them ‘Who created the heavens and the earth?’ they will surely say the indicative nūn has been omitted because of the other nūn coming after it and likewise the wāw replaced by the damma in -lunna because of two unvowelled consonants coming together ‘The Mighty the Knower created them’ — this would have to be their eventual response that is to say God created them Lord of Might and Knowledge. God exalted be He adds
ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ مَهۡدٗا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمۡ فِيهَا سُبُلٗا لَّعَلَّكُمۡ تَهۡتَدُونَ
Celui qui vous a donné la terre pour berceau et vous y a tracé des sentiers afin que vous vous guidiez
Al-Jalalayn — Al-Jalalayn
He Who made the earth a cradle for you a flat resting-place like a child’s cradle and placed for you therein ways routes that perhaps you may be guided to your destinations during your travels;
