The Aya says:

And my people work according to your way.  I am working.  You will know who will receive suffering that humiliates him and who is untruthful.  And watch.  I am with you, watching.

Here Shuaib is challenging them to act according to their own things while letting them know that a time of reckoning will come where the side that was wrong and untruthful will suffer humiliating suffering.

The Aya says:

He (Shuaib) responded: “O my people, are my people more formidable to you than Allah?! And you relegated him behind your back.  Indeed, my nurturing Lord is, in what you do, surrounding.”

 

My personal note:

Here Shuaib is exposing their poor insight.  He reminds them that they care more about the people rather than Allah who they ignore.  He also reminds them that Allah is in control and surrounds all their schemes.

The Aya says:

They responded: “O Shuaib, we do not understand much of what you say.  And we look at you as being weak, and if not for your group then we would have kicked you out and you are not worthy/ powerful to us.

 

My personal note:

The people are letting him know that they look down at him and that they tolerate him for his group that may support him which can be a family or clan or other forms of support.  I translated the last word Azeez as worthy because that can be part of the meaning of the word as great status and respect and so on.  It also can mean someone who is very strong and is difficult to defeat and pressure and so on.  Both meanings can apply.

Wastaghfiroo Rabbakum summa toobooo ilaih; inna Rabbee Raheemunw Wadood

 

The Aya says:

And seek protective cover from your nurturing Lord, then repent to Him.  Indeed, my nurturing Lord is merciful, loving.

 

My personal note:

Here he continues the discussion with his people.  He asks to ask forgiveness which I translated as protective cover.  The reason is that the origin of the word and that forgiveness is mainly asking to not suffer the bad consequences of our actions.  The Aya ends reminding them that Allah is merciful and graceful and loving.  We should all remember that.

 

Translation of the transliterated words:

Wais`taghfirū: and you (plural) ask forgiveness/ ask protective cover
