1 Indeed, We sent Noah to his people, [saying], "Warn your people before there comes to them a painful punishment."

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

1 We sent Noah to his People (with the Command): "Do thou warn thy People before there comes to them a grievous Penalty."

2 He said, "O my people, indeed I am to you a clear warner,

2 He said: "O my People! I am to you a Warner, clear and open:

3 [Saying], 'Worship Allah, fear Him and obey me.

3 Ani oAAbudoo Allaha waittaqoohu waateeAAooni

3 "That ye should worship Allah, fear Him and obey me:

4 Allah will forgive you of your sins and delay you for a specified term. Indeed, the time [set by] Allah, when it comes, will not be delayed, if you only knew.' "

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

4 "So He may forgive you your sins and give you respite for a stated Term: for when the Term given by Allah is accomplished, it cannot be put forward: if ye only knew."

5 He said, "My Lord, indeed I invited my people [to truth] night and day.

5 Qala rabbi innee daAAawtu qawmee laylan wanaharan

5 He said: "O my Lord! I have called to my People night and day:

6 But my invitation increased them not except in flight.

6 Falam yazidhum duAAaee illa firaran

6 "But my call only increases (their) flight (from the Right).

7 And indeed, every time I invited them that You may forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears, covered themselves with their garments, persisted, and were arrogant with [great] arrogance.

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

7 "And every time I have called to them, that Thou mightest forgive them, they have (only) thrust their fingers into their ears, covered themselves up with their garments, grown obstinate, and given themselves up to arrogance.

8 Then I invited them publicly.

8 Thumma innee daAAawtuhum jiharan

8 "So I have called to them aloud;

9 Then I announced to them and [also] confided to them secretly

9 Thumma innee aAAlantu lahum waasrartu lahum israran

9 "Further I have spoken to them in public and secretly in private,

10 And said, 'Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Indeed, He is ever a Perpetual Forgiver.

10 Faqultu istaghfiroo rabbakum innahu kana ghaffaran

10 "Saying, 'Ask forgiveness from your Lord; for He is Oft - Forgiving;

11 He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in [continuing] showers

11 Yursili alssamaa AAalaykum midraran

11 "'He will send rain to you in abundance;

12 And give you increase in wealth and children and provide for you gardens and provide for you rivers.

12 Wayumdidkum biamwalin wabaneena wayajAAal lakum jannatin wayajAAal lakum anharan

12 "'Give you increase in wealth and sons; and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers (of flowing water).

13 What is [the matter] with you that you do not attribute to Allah [due] grandeur

13 Ma lakum la tarjoona lillahi waqaran

13 "'What is the matter with you, that ye place not your hope for kindness and long - suffering in Allah, -

14 While He has created you in stages?

14 Waqad khalaqakum atwaran

14 "'Seeing that it is He that has created you in diverse stages?

15 Do you not consider how Allah has created seven heavens in layers

15 Alam taraw kayfa khalaqa Allahu sabAAa samawatin tibaqan

15 "'See ye not how Allah has created the seven heavens one above another,

16 And made the moon therein a [reflected] light and made the sun a burning lamp?

16 WajaAAala alqamara feehinna nooran wajaAAala alshshamsa sirajan

16 "'And made the moon a light in their midst, and made the sun as a (Glorious) Lamp?

17 And Allah has caused you to grow from the earth a [progressive] growth.

17 WaAllahu anbatakum mina alardi nabatan

17 "'And Allah has produced you from the earth growing (gradually),

18 Then He will return you into it and extract you [another] extraction.

18 Thumma yuAAeedukum feeha wayukhrijukum ikhrajan

18 "'And in the End He will return you into the (earth), and raise you forth (again at the Resurrection)?

19 And Allah has made for you the earth an expanse

19 WaAllahu jaAAala lakumu alarda bisatan

19 "'And Allah has made the earth for you as a carpet (spread out),

20 That you may follow therein roads of passage.' "

20 Litaslukoo minha subulan fijajan

20 "'That ye may go about therein, in spacious roads.'"

21 Noah said, "My Lord, indeed they have disobeyed me and followed him whose wealth and children will not increase him except in loss.

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

21 Noah said: "O my Lord! They have disobeyed me, but they follow (men) whose wealth and children give them no increase but only Loss.

22 And they conspired an immense conspiracy.

22 Wamakaroo makran kubbaran

22 "And they have devised a tremendous Plot.

23 And said, 'Never leave your gods and never leave Wadd or Suwa' or Yaghuth and Ya'uq and Nasr.

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

23 "And they have said (to each other), 'Abandon not your gods: Abandon neither Wadd nor Suwa', neither Yaguth nor Ya'uq, nor Nasr'; -

24 And already they have misled many. And, [my Lord], do not increase the wrongdoers except in error."

24 Waqad adalloo katheeran wala tazidi alththalimeena illa dalalan

24 "They have already misled many; and grant Thou no increase to the wrong - doers but in straying (from their mark)."

25 Because of their sins they were drowned and put into the Fire, and they found not for themselves besides Allah [any] helpers.

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

25 Because of their sins they were drowned (in the flood), and were made to enter the Fire (of Punishment): and they found - in lieu of Allah - none to help them.

26 And Noah said, "My Lord, do not leave upon the earth from among the disbelievers an inhabitant.

26 Waqala noohun rabbi la tathar AAala alardi mina alkafireena dayyaran

26 And Noah, said: "O my Lord! Leave not of the Unbelievers, a single one on earth!

27 Indeed, if You leave them, they will mislead Your servants and not beget except [every] wicked one and [confirmed] disbeliever.

27 Innaka in tatharhum yudilloo AAibadaka wala yalidoo illa fajiran kaffaran

27 "For, if Thou dost leave (any of) them, they will but mislead Thy devotees, and they will breed none but wicked ungrateful ones.

28 My Lord, forgive me and my parents and whoever enters my house a believer and the believing men and believing women. And do not increase the wrongdoers except in destruction."

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

28 "O my Lord! Forgive me, my parents, all who enter my house in Faith, and (all) believing men and believing women: and to the wrong - doers grant Thou no increase but in perdition!"
