جُنْدٌ مَّا هُنَالِكَ مَهْزُوْمٌ مِّنَ الْاَحْزَابِ۝۱۱

They will be one more army vanquished among the many routed hordes.

كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوْحٍ وَّ عَادٌ وَّ فِرْعَوْنُ ذُو الْاَوْتَادِۙ۝۱۲

Even before them the people of Noah, ´Ad, the mighty Pharoah,

وَ ثَمُوْدُ وَ قَوْمُ لُوْطٍ وَّ اَصْحٰبُ لْـَٔیْكَةِ ؕ اُولٰٓىِٕكَ الْاَحْزَابُ۝۱۳

And the Thamud, the people of Lot, as well as the dwellers of the Wood, had denied. These were the hordes.

اِنْ كُلٌّ اِلَّا كَذَّبَ الرُّسُلَ فَحَقَّ عِقَابِ۠۝۱۴

Of all these there was not one who did not deny the messengers. So My retribution was justified.

وَ مَا یَنْظُرُ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ اِلَّا صَیْحَةً وَّاحِدَةً مَّا لَهَا مِنْ فَوَاقٍ۝۱۵

They await but a single blast which will not be repeated.

وَ قَالُوْا رَبَّنَا عَجِّلْ لَّنَا قِطَّنَا قَبْلَ یَوْمِ الْحِسَابِ۝۱۶

Still they say: "O Lord, give us our share before the Day of Reckoning."

اِصْبِرْ عَلٰی مَا یَقُوْلُوْنَ وَ اذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَا دَاوٗدَ ذَا الْاَیْدِ ۚ اِنَّهٗۤ اَوَّابٌ۝۱۷

Bear with patience what they say, and remember Our votary David, man of strength. He surely turned to Us in penitence.

اِنَّا سَخَّرْنَا الْجِبَالَ مَعَهٗ یُسَبِّحْنَ بِالْعَشِیِّ وَ الْاِشْرَاقِۙ۝۱۸

We subjugated the chiefs (of tribes) to struggle day and night with him,

وَ الطَّیْرَ مَحْشُوْرَةً ؕ كُلٌّ لَّهٗۤ اَوَّابٌ۝۱۹

And the levied Tair. They were all obedient to him.

وَ شَدَدْنَا مُلْكَهٗ وَ اٰتَیْنٰهُ الْحِكْمَةَ وَ فَصْلَ الْخِطَابِ۝۲۰

So We further strengthened his kingdom, and bestowed wisdom on him, and judgement in legal matters.
