Ali Quli Qara'i Those who were before them impugned [the apostles], whereat the punishment overtook them whence they were not aware.
Pickthal Those before them denied, and so the doom came on them whence they knew not.
Shakir Those before them rejected (prophets), therefore there came to them the chastisement from whence they perceived not.
Yusufali Those before them (also) rejected (revelation), and so the Punishment came to them from directions they did not perceive.
