فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُمْ دُعَائِي إِلَّا فِرَارًا ۝ ٦

Falam yazidhum duAAaee illa firaran

But my invitation increased them not except in flight.

وَإِنِّي كُلَّمَا دَعَوْتُهُمْ لِتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ جَعَلُوا أَصَابِعَهُمْ فِي آذَانِهِمْ وَاسْتَغْشَوْا ثِيَابَهُمْ وَأَصَرُّوا وَاسْتَكْبَرُوا اسْتِكْبَارًا ۝ ٧

Wainnee kullama daAAawtuhum litaghfira lahum jaAAaloo asabiAAahum fee athanihim waistaghshaw thiyabahum waasarroo waistakbaroo istikbaran

And indeed, every time I invited them that You may forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears, covered themselves with their garments, persisted, and were arrogant with [great] arrogance.

Thumma innee daAAawtuhum jiharan

Ma lakum la tarjoona lillahi waqaran

What is [the matter] with you that you do not attribute to Allah [due] grandeur

وَقَدْ خَلَقَكُمْ أَطْوَارًا ۝ ١٤

Waqad khalaqakum atwaran

While He has created you in stages?

أَلَمْ تَرَوْا كَيْفَ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ طِبَاقًا ۝ ١٥

WaAllahu anbatakum mina alardi nabatan

وَقَدْ أَضَلُّوا كَثِيرًا ۖ وَلَا تَزِدِ الظَّالِمِينَ إِلَّا ضَلَالًا ۝ ٢٤

Waqad adalloo katheeran wala tazidi alththalimeena illa dalalan

And already they have misled many. And, [my Lord], do not increase the wrongdoers except in error."

مِمَّا خَطِيئَاتِهِمْ أُغْرِقُوا فَأُدْخِلُوا نَارًا فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا لَهُمْ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ أَنْصَارًا ۝ ٢٥
