Pickthall — Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall

And if ye turn away, still I have conveyed unto you that wherewith I was sent unto you, and my Lord will set in place of you a folk other than you. Ye cannot injure Him at all. Lo! my Lord is Guardian over all things.

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

"If ye turn away,- I (at least) have conveyed the Message with which I was sent to you. My Lord will make another people to succeed you, and you will not harm Him in the least. For my Lord hath care and watch over all things."

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

يقول لهم [ رسولهم ] هود : فإن تولوا عما جئتكم به من عبادة الله ربكم وحده لا شريك له ، فقد قامت عليكم الحجة بإبلاغي إياكم رسالة الله التي بعثني بها ، ( ويستخلف ربي قوما غيركم ) يعبدونه وحده لا يشركون به [ شيئا ] ولا يبالي بكم : فإنكم لا تضرونه بكفركم بل يعود وبال ذلك عليكم ، ( إن ربي على كل شيء حفيظ ) أي : شاهد وحافظ لأقوال عباده وأفعالهم ويجزيهم عليها إن خيرا فخير ، وإن شرا فشر .
