20:129
وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَكَانَ لِزَامًا وَأَجَلٌ مُّسَمًّى
walawlā kalimatun sabaqat min rabbika lakāna lizāman wa-ajalun musamman
And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord, it [i.e., punishment] would have been an obligation [due immediately], and [if not for] a specified term [decreed].
— Saheeh International
If it were not for a preordained Word from your Lord [Prophet], they would already have been destroyed. Their time has been set,
— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem
And had it not been for a Word that went forth before from your Lord, and a term determined, (their punishment) must necessarily have come (in this world).
— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
