Word by word

وَيَـٰقَوْمِ ٱسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوبُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ يُرْسِلِ ٱلسَّمَآءَ عَلَيْكُم مِّدْرَارًا وَيَزِدْكُمْ قُوَّةً إِلَىٰ قُوَّتِكُمْ وَلَا تَتَوَلَّوْا۟ مُجْرِمِينَ

And O my people, ask forgiveness of your Lord and then repent to Him. He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in showers and increase you in strength [added] to your strength. And do not turn away, [being] criminals."

ويا قوم اطلبوا مغفرة الله والإيمان به، ثم توبوا إليه من ذنوبكم، فإنكم إن فعلتم ذلك يرسل المطر عليكم متتابعًا كثيرًا، فتكثر خيراتكم، ويزدكم قوة إلى قوتكم بكثرة ذرياتكم وتتابع النِّعم عليكم، ولا تُعرضوا عما دعوتكم إليه مصرِّين على إجرامكم.
