Another sign for them is that We carried their seed in the laden Ark
42
وَخَلَقۡنَا لَهُم مِّن مِّثۡلِهِۦ مَا یَرۡكَبُونَ ٤٢
wakhalaqnā lahum min mith'lihi mā yarkabūn
and We have made similar things for them to ride in
43
وَإِن نَّشَأۡ نُغۡرِقۡهُمۡ فَلَا صَرِیخَ لَهُمۡ وَلَا هُمۡ یُنقَذُونَ ٤٣
wa-in nasha nugh'riq'hum falā ṣarīkha lahum walā hum yunqadhūn
If We wished, We could drown them, and there would be no one to help them: they could not be saved

illā raḥmatan minnā wamatāʿan ilā ḥīni
Only by Our mercy could they be reprieved to enjoy life for a while
45
وَإِذَا قِیلَ لَهُمُ ٱتَّقُوا۟ مَا بَیۡنَ أَیۡدِیكُمۡ وَمَا خَلۡفَكُمۡ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُرۡحَمُونَ ٤٥
wa-idhā qīla lahumu ittaqū mā bayna aydīkum wamā khalfakum laʿallakum tur'ḥamūn
Yet when they are told, ‘Beware of what lies before and behind you, so that you may be given mercy,’
46
وَمَا تَأۡتِیهِم مِّنۡ ءَایَةࣲ مِّنۡ ءَایَـٰتِ رَبِّهِمۡ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ عَنۡهَا مُعۡرِضِینَ ٤٦
wamā tatīhim min āyatin min āyāti rabbihim illā kānū ʿanhā muʿ'riḍīn
they ignore every single sign that comes to them from their Lord
47
وَإِذَا قِیلَ لَهُمۡ أَنفِقُوا۟ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ قَالَ ٱلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوۤا۟ أَنُطۡعِمُ مَن لَّوۡ یَشَاۤءُ ٱللَّهُ أَطۡعَمَهُۥۤ إِنۡ أَنتُمۡ إِلَّا فِی ضَلَـٰلࣲ مُّبِینࣲ ٤٧
wa-idhā qīla lahum anfiqū mimmā razaqakumu l-lahu qāla alladhīna kafarū lilladhīna āmanū anuṭ'ʿimu man law yashāu l-lahu aṭʿamahu in antum illā fī ḍalālin mubīni
and when they are told, ‘Give to others out of what God has provided for you,’ the disbelievers say to the believers, ‘Why should we feed those that God could feed if He wanted? You must be deeply misguided.’
48
وَیَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَـٰذَا ٱلۡوَعۡدُ إِن كُنتُمۡ صَـٰدِقِینَ ٤٨
wayaqūlūna matā hādhā l-waʿdu in kuntum ṣādiqīn
And they say, ‘When will this promise be fulfilled, if what you say is true?’
49
مَا یَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا صَیۡحَةࣰ وَ ٰحِدَةࣰ تَأۡخُذُهُمۡ وَهُمۡ یَخِصِّمُونَ ٤٩
mā yanẓurūna illā ṣayḥatan wāḥidatan takhudhuhum wahum yakhiṣṣimūn
But all they are waiting for is a single blast that will overtake them while they are still arguing with each other
