ٱلْأَعْرَاف : ١٣٣

  • فَأَرۡسَلۡنَا So We sent
  • عَلَيۡهِمُ on them
  • ٱلطُّوفَانَ the flood
  • وَٱلۡجَرَادَ and the locusts
  • وَٱلۡقُمَّلَ and the lice
  • وَٱلضَّفَادِعَ and the frogs
  • وَٱلدَّمَ and the blood
  • ءَايَٰتٖ (as) signs
  • مُّفَصَّلَٰتٖ manifest
  • فَٱسۡتَكۡبَرُواْ but they showed arrogance
  • وَكَانُواْ and they were
  • قَوۡمٗا a people
  • مُّجۡرِمِينَ criminal
So We sent upon them the flood and locusts and lice and frogs and blood as distinct signs, but they were arrogant and were a criminal people.
So We unleashed upon them the flood, of water, which penetrated their houses and which for seven days would come up to people's necks as they sat; and the locusts, which consumed their crops and fruits, likewise [engulfing them for seven days]; and the lice (al-qummal is like al-soos, 'woodworm', or al-quraad, 'ticks'), which would follow [and consume] what the locusts left behind; and the frogs, such that they infested their houses and food supplies; and the blood, [flowing] in their water, distinct, clear, signs: but they were too scornful, to believe in them, and were a sinful folk.
