And we had over you no authority, but you were a transgressing people.
wamā kāna lanā ʿalaykum min sul'ṭānin bal kuntum qawman ṭāghīna

قَالُوا۟ بَل لَّمْ تَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ
They [i.e., the oppressors] will say, "Rather, you [yourselves] were not believers,

And we had over you no authority, but you were a transgressing people.
فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَآ ۖ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ
So the word [i.e., decree] of our Lord has come into effect upon us; indeed, we will taste [punishment].

And we led you to deviation; indeed, we were deviators."
