وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ
Walaqad ka thth aba alla th eena min qablihim fakayfa k a na nakeer i
And, indeed, [many of] those who lived aforetime17 did give the lie [to My warnings]: and how awesome was My rejection [of them]!
  - Mohammad Asad

Lit., "before them" (min qablihim). This personal pronoun relates - as does the whole of the passage beginning with verse {13} - to people of all times, who are herewith reminded of what happened to deniers of the truth in earlier times; hence my rendering of min qablihim as "aforetime".

Those who have gone before them likewise disbelieved, then see how terrible was the way I rejected them?
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
And certainly those before them denied 'as well', then how severe was My response!
  - Mustafa Khattab
And verily those before them denied, then (see) the manner of My wrath (with them)!
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
But indeed men before them rejected (My warning): then how (terrible) was My rejection (of them)? 5575
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Cf. xxii. 42-44, and n. 2822.
