And as for Thamūd, We guided them, but they preferred blindness over guidance, so the thunderbolt of humiliating punishment seized them for what they used to earn.

ஸமூது (கூட்டத்தாருக்கோ) நாம் அவர்களுக்கு நேரான வழியைக் காண்பித்தோம், ஆயினும், அவர்கள் நேர்வழியைக் காட்டிலும் குருட்டுத்தனத்தையே நேசித்தார்கள். ஆகவே, அவர்கள் சம்பாதித்துக் கொண்ட(பாவத்)தின் காரணமாக, இழிவான வேதனையாகிய இடி முழக்கம் அவர்களைப் பிடித்துக் கொண்டது.

තවද සමූද් ජනයා වූ කලී අපි ඔවුනට යහමග පෙන්වූයෙමු. එහෙත් ඔවුහු යහමගට වඩා අන්ධබව ප්‍රිය කළෝ ය. එහෙයින් ඔවුන් උපයමින් සිටි දෑ හේතුකොට නින්දිත දඬුවමේ මහා (අකුණු) හඬ ඔවුන් හසුකර ගත්තේ ය.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
رہے ﺛمود، سو ہم نے ان کی بھی رہبری کی پھر بھی انہوں نے ہدایت پر اندھے پن کو ترجیح دی جس بنا پر انہیں (سراپا) ذلت کے عذاب، کی کڑک نے ان کے کرتوتوں کے باعﺚ پکڑ لیا.

またわれはサムード(の民)を,導いた。だがかれらは導きよりも,盲目の方を良いとした。それで,かれらが稼いでいた(行いの)ために,不面目な懲罰の落雷がかれらを襲った。
ChineseMa Jian
至于赛莫德人,则我曾引导他们,但他们舍正道而取迷误,故凌辱的刑罚的霹雳因他们的行为而轰击了他们。

Tafsir of 41:17

A Warning to the Disbelievers and a Reminder of the Story of `Ad and Thamud Allah says: `Say, O Muhammad, to these idolators who disbelieve in the message of truth that you have brought: If you turn away from that which I have brought to you from Allah, then I warn you of the punishment of Allah like the punishment that the past nations suffered for disbelieving in the Messengers.' صَعِقَةً مِّثْلَ صَعِقَةِ عَادٍ وَثَمُودَ (a Sa`iqah like the Sa`iqah which overtook `Ad and Thamud.) and other similar nations who did what they did, إِذْ جَآءَتْهُمُ الرُّسُلُ مِن بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ (When the Messengers came to them, from before them and behind them) This is like the Ayah: وَاذْكُرْ أَخَا عَادٍ إِذْ أَنذَرَ قَوْمَهُ بِالاٌّحْقَافِ وَقَدْ خَلَتِ النُّذُرُ مِن بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ (And remember (Hud) the brother of `Ad, when he warned his people in Al-Ahqaf. And surely, there have passed away warners before him and after him) (46:21). which means that in the neighboring towns and cities, Allah sent Messengers who commanded the people to worship Allah Alone with no partner or associate, and they brought good news as well as warnings.…
