( قال إنما يأتيكم به الله إن شاء ) يعني : بالعذاب ، ( وما أنتم بمعجزين ) بفائتين .
Noah said to them that he could not bring the punishment upon them, and that only Allah would bring it to them, if He willed; and that they would not be able to escape from the punishment of Allah if He willed for them to be given a punishment.
