So had many an earlier people gone astray,
And indeed before them, most of the former people went astray.
Before them erred most of the ancients,
Thus, indeed, most of the people of old went astray before them,
And assuredly there went stray before them many of the ancients.
And indeed most of the men of old went astray before them;
And most of the ancients before them went astray.
Before them a multitude of people of olden times had erred,
And indeed most of the earlier ones went astray before them;
And verily most of the men of old went astray before them,
Most of the former peoples went astray before them,
yet before them most of the ancients went astray,
And there had already strayed before them most of the former peoples,
Most of the ancient people had also gone astray.
And certainly most of the ancients went astray before them,
Walaqad <u>d</u>alla qablahum aktharu alawwaleen<b>a</b>
And assuredly many of the ancients went astray before them,
And truly before them, many of the ancients went astray;-
وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Verily, the majority of people before them also went astray. So O Messenger, those to whom you have been sent are not the first to go astray.
