የሰዎች እጆች በሠሩት ኃጢአት ምክንያት፣ የዚያን የሠሩትን ከፊሉን ያቀመሳቸው ዘንድ መከራው በየብስና በባሕር ተገለጠ፤ (ተሰራጨ) ፤ እነርሱ ሊመለሱ ይከጀላልና።
Evil (sins and disobedience of Allāh, etc.) has appeared on land and sea because of what the hands of men have earned (by oppression and evil deeds, etc.), that Allāh may make them taste a part of that which they have done, in order that they may return (by repenting to Allāh, and begging His Pardon).
