ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَانَت تَّأْتِيهِمْ رُسُلُهُم بِالْبَيِّنَاتِ فَكَفَرُوا فَأَخَذَهُمُ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ قَوِيٌّ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ

Yang demiklan itu adalah karena telah datang kepada mereka rasul-rasul mereka dengan membawa bukti-bukti yang nyata lalu mereka kafir; maka Allah mengazab mereka. Sesungguhnya Dia Maha Kuat lagi Maha Keras hukuman-Nya.

That was because their messengers were coming to them with clear proofs, but they disbelieved, so Allah seized them. Indeed, He is Powerful and severe in punishment.
