فَبَدَّلَ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ قَوْلًا غَيْرَ ٱلَّذِى قِيلَ لَهُمْ فَأَنزَلْنَا عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ رِجْزًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْسُقُونَ

But those who wronged changed [those words] to a statement other than that which had been said to them, so We sent down upon those who wronged a punishment [i.e., plague] from the sky because they were defiantly disobeying.

ஆனால் அக்கிரமக்காரர்கள் தம்மிடம் கூறப்பட்ட வார்த்தையை அவர்களுக்குச் சொல்லப்படாத வேறு வார்த்தையாக மாற்றிக் கொண்டார்கள்; ஆகவே அக்கிரமங்கள் செய்தவர்கள் மீது - (இவ்வாறு அவர்கள்) பாபம் செய்து கொண்டிருந்த காரணத்தினால் வானத்திலிருந்து நாம் வேதனையை இறக்கிவைத்தோம்.

එවිට අපරාධ කළවුන් ඔවුනට පවසනු ලැබූ දෑ නො වන වෙනත් වදනක් වෙනස්කර පැවසූහ. එවිට අපරාධ කළවුන්ට ඔවුන් කලහකම් කරමින් සිටි හේතුවෙන් අහසින් ව්‍යසනයක් අපි පහළ කළෙමු.

但不义的人改变了他们所奉的嘱言,故我降天灾於不义者,那是由於他们的犯罪。
