Grammar Rules

Conjunction وَ (and)
وَيَـٰقَوْمِ (And O my people!) starts with وَ, the most common Arabic word — it means "and".
We add "and" to connect this to what came before.
Vocative يا (O!)
وَيَـٰقَوْمِ (And O my people!) uses the vocative — it's calling out to someone or addressing them directly.
We add "O" before the name — "O And O my people!!"

Sahih International

And O my people, let not [your] dissension from me cause you to be struck by that similar to what struck the people of Noah or the people of Hūd or the people of Ṣāliḥ. And the people of Lot are not from you far away.
