  • فَأَصَابَهُمۡ Then struck them
  • سَيِّـَٔاتُ (the) evils
  • مَا (of) what
  • كَسَبُواْۚ they earned
  • وَٱلَّذِينَ And those who
  • ظَلَمُواْ have wronged
  • مِنۡ of
  • هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ these
  • سَيُصِيبُهُمۡ will strike them
  • سَيِّـَٔاتُ (the) evils
  • مَا (of) what
  • كَسَبُواْ they earned
  • وَمَا and not
  • هُم they
  • بِمُعۡجِزِينَ will be able to escape
And the evil consequences of what they earned struck them. And those who have wronged of these [people] will be struck [i.e., afflicted] by the evil consequences of what they earned; and they will not cause failure.1

1 i.e., prevent Allāh from what He wills or escape from the punishment.
So the evils of what they earned smote them, that is, the requital thereof [smote them]. And the evildoers among these, namely, [among] Quraysh, shall also be smitten by the evils of what they earned, and they will not be able to thwart it: [they will not] elude Our chastisement - thus they were made to suffer seven years of drought and [only] afterwards were they enriched [with provision from God].
