نوح

1 Surely We sent Nuh to his people, saying: Warn your people before there come upon them a painful chastisement.

1 In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Lo! We sent Noah unto his people (saying): Warn thy people ere the painful doom come unto them.

1 Inna arsalna noohan ila qawmihi an anthir qawmaka min qabli an yatiyahum AAathabun aleemun

2 He said: O my people! Surely I am a plain warner to you:

2 He said: O my people! Lo! I am a plain warner unto you

2 Qala ya qawmi innee lakum natheerun mubeenun

3 That you should serve Allah and be careful of (your duty to) Him and obey me:

3 (Bidding you): Serve Allah and keep your duty unto Him and obey me,

3 Ani oAAbudoo Allaha waittaqoohu waateeAAooni

4 He will forgive you some of your faults and grant you a delay to an appointed term; surely the term of Allah when it comes is not postponed; did you but know!

4 That He may forgive you somewhat of your sins and respite you to an appointed term. Lo! the term of Allah, when it cometh, cannot be delayed, if ye but knew.

4 Yaghfir lakum min thunoobikum wayuakhkhirkum ila ajalin musamman inna ajala Allahi itha jaa la yuakhkharu law kuntum taAAlamoona

5 He said: O my Lord! surely I have called my people by night and by day!

5 He said: My Lord! Lo! I have called unto my people night and day

5 Qala rabbi innee daAAawtu qawmee laylan wanaharan

6 But my call has only made them flee the more:

6 But all my calling doth but add to their repugnance;

6 Falam yazidhum duAAaee illa firaran

7 And whenever I have called them that Thou mayest forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears, cover themselves with their garments, and persist and are puffed up with pride:

7 And lo! whenever I call unto them that Thou mayst pardon them they thrust their fingers in their ears and cover themselves with their garments and persist (in their refusal) and magnify themselves in pride.

7 Wainnee kullama daAAawtuhum litaghfira lahum jaAAaloo asabiAAahum fee athanihim waistaghshaw thiyabahum waasarroo waistakbaroo istikbaran

8 Then surely I called to them aloud:

8 And lo! I have called unto them aloud,

8 Thumma innee daAAawtuhum jiharan

9 Then surely I spoke to them in public and I spoke to them in secret:

9 And lo! I have made public proclamation unto them, and I have appealed to them in private.

9 Thumma innee aAAlantu lahum waasrartu lahum israran

10 Then I said, Ask forgiveness of your Lord, surely He is the most Forgiving:

10 And I have said: Seek pardon of your Lord. Lo! He was ever Forgiving.

10 Faqultu istaghfiroo rabbakum innahu kana ghaffaran

11 He will send down upon you the cloud, pouring down abundance of rain:

11 He will let loose the sky for you in plenteous rain,

11 Yursili alssamaa AAalaykum midraran

12 And help you with wealth and sons, and make for you gardens, and make for you rivers.

12 And will help you with wealth and sons, and will assign unto you Gardens and will assign unto you rivers.

12 Wayumdidkum biamwalin wabaneena wayajAAal lakum jannatin wayajAAal lakum anharan

13 What is the matter with you that you fear not the greatness of Allah?

13 What aileth you that ye hope not toward Allah for dignity

13 Ma lakum la tarjoona lillahi waqaran

14 And indeed He has created you through various grades:

14 When He created you by (divers) stages ?

14 Waqad khalaqakum atwaran

15 Do you not see how Allah has created the seven heavens, one above another,

15 See ye not how Allah hath created seven heavens in harmony,

15 Alam taraw kayfa khalaqa Allahu sabAAa samawatin tibaqan

16 And made the moon therein a light, and made the sun a lamp?

16 And hath made the moon a light therein, and made the sun a lamp ?

16 WajaAAala alqamara feehinna nooran wajaAAala alshshamsa sirajan

17 And Allah has made you grow out of the earth as a growth:

17 And Allah hath caused you to grow as a growth from the earth,

17 WaAllahu anbatakum mina alardi nabatan

18 Then He returns you to it, then will He bring you forth a (new) bringing forth:

18 And afterward He maketh you return thereto, and He will bring you forth again, a (new) forthbringing.

18 Thumma yuAAeedukum feeha wayukhrijukum ikhrajan

19 And Allah has made for you the earth a wide expanse,

19 And Allah hath made the earth a wide expanse for you

19 WaAllahu jaAAala lakumu alarda bisatan

20 That you may go along therein in wide paths.

20 That ye may thread the valley - ways thereof.

20 Litaslukoo minha subulan fijajan

21 Nuh said: My Lord! surely they have disobeyed me and followed him whose wealth and children have added to him nothing but loss.

21 Noah said: My Lord! Lo! they have disobeyed me and followed one whose wealth and children increase him in naught save ruin;

21 Qala noohun rabbi innahum AAasawnee waittabaAAoo man lam yazidhu maluhu wawaladuhu illa khasaran

22 And they have planned a very great plan.

22 And they have plotted a mighty plot,

22 Wamakaroo makran kubbaran

23 And they say: By no means leave your gods, nor leave Wadd, nor Suwa; nor Yaghus, and Yauq and Nasr.

23 And they have said: Forsake not your gods. Forsake not Wadd, nor Suwa', nor Yaghuth and Ya'uq and Nasr.

23 Waqaloo la tatharunna alihatakum wala tatharunna waddan wala suwaAAan wala yaghootha wayaAAooqa wanasran

24 And indeed they have led astray many, and do not increase the unjust in aught but error.

24 And they have led many astray, and Thou increasest the wrong - doers in naught save error.

24 Waqad adalloo katheeran wala tazidi alththalimeena illa dalalan

25 Because of their wrongs they were drowned, then made to enter fire, so they did not find any helpers besides Allah.

25 Because of their sins they were drowned, then made to enter a Fire. And they found they had no helpers in place of Allah.

25 Mimma khateeatihim oghriqoo faodkhiloo naran falam yajidoo lahum min dooni Allahi ansaran

26 And Nuh said: My Lord! leave not upon the land any dweller from among the unbelievers:

26 And Noah said: My Lord! Leave not one of the disbelievers in the land.

26 Waqala noohun rabbi la tathar AAala alardi mina alkafireena dayyaran

27 For surely if Thou leave them they will lead astray Thy servants, and will not beget any but immoral, ungrateful (children)

27 If Thou shouldst leave them, they will mislead Thy slaves and will beget none save lewd ingrates.

27 Innaka in tatharhum yudilloo AAibadaka wala yalidoo illa fajiran kaffaran

28 My Lord! forgive me and my parents and him who enters my house believing, and the believing men and the believing women; and do not increase the unjust in aught but destruction!

28 My Lord! Forgive me and my parents and him who entereth my house believing, and believing men and believing women, and increase not the wrong - doers in aught save ruin.

28 Rabbi ighfir lee waliwalidayya waliman dakhala baytiya muminan walilmumineena waalmuminati wala tazidi alththalimeena illa tabaran
