Ibrahim-15, Surah Abraham Verse-15

(The Messengers) sought conquest and every obstinate tyrant lost.

And they besought judgment, and disappointed was every tyrant obstinate.

They prayed for victory [against the infidels], and every obstinate tyrant was defeated,

They (both the Messengers and unbelievers) sought a judgment (through test of right and might), and in the end every stubborn tyrant was frustrated (made to fail),

Then (the apostles) asked of God´s assistance, and every arrogant tyrant was frustrated:

And they sought a decision, and every stubborn rebel was destroyed.

They sought a judgment, (but when it came) every haughty person (and) enemy (of truth) met with no success (and was utterly disappointed).

They sought a judgment; then was disappointed every froward tyrant --

Then they sought to force a decision (to settle the matter in their favour); and disappointed was every rebel tyrant!

But they (the Messengers) sought victory and help [from their Lord (Allah)], and every obstinate, arrogant dictator (who refuses to believe in the Oneness of Allah) was brought to a complete loss and destruction.

And We shall certainly settle you in the land after them. This is for him who fears standing in My presence and fears My threat.

And they asked for judgment and every insolent opposer was disappointed:

And they sought help (from their Lord) and every froward potentate was bought to naught;

They prayed for victory and the haughty transgressors were defeated.

They sought a judgment, then every tyrant was disappointed.

And they requested victory from Allah, and disappointed, [therefore], was every obstinate tyrant.

And they sought a decision, and every stubborn rebel was destroyed.

And they prayed for victory, and every stubborn tyrant came to disappointment.

When they sought Our Judgement, every stubborn oppressor was frustrated.

But they sought victory and decision (there and then), and frustration was the lot of every powerful obstinate transgressor.
