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

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

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.

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

2 Qala ya qawmi innee lakum natheerun mubeenun

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

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

3 Ani oAAbudoo Allaha waittaqoohu waateeAAooni

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

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."

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

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.

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

5 Qala rabbi innee daAAawtu qawmee laylan wanaharan

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

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

6 Falam yazidhum duAAaee illa firaran

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

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.

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

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.

8 "So I have called to them aloud;

8 Thumma innee daAAawtuhum jiharan

8 And lo! I have called unto them aloud,

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

9 Thumma innee aAAlantu lahum waasrartu lahum israran

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

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

10 Faqultu istaghfiroo rabbakum innahu kana ghaffaran

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

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

11 Yursili alssamaa AAalaykum midraran

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

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

12 Wayumdidkum biamwalin wabaneena wayajAAal lakum jannatin wayajAAal lakum anharan

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

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

13 Ma lakum la tarjoona lillahi waqaran

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

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

14 Waqad khalaqakum atwaran

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

15 Alam taraw kayfa khalaqa Allahu sabAAa samawatin tibaqan

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

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

20 Litaslukoo minha subulan fijajan

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.

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

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

22 "And they have devised a tremendous Plot.

22 Wamakaroo makran kubbaran

22 And they have plotted a mighty plot,

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

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

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

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

24 Waqad adalloo katheeran wala tazidi alththalimeena illa dalalan

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

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.

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

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.

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

26 Waqala noohun rabbi la tathar AAala alardi mina alkafireena dayyaran

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

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

27 Innaka in tatharhum yudilloo AAibadaka wala yalidoo illa fajiran kaffaran

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

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!"

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

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.
