And address Me not in favour of those who have done wrong. Verily, they are to be drowned.
So We inspired him (with this message): "Construct the Ark within Our sight and under Our guidance: then when comes Our Command, and the fountains of the earth gush forth, take thou on board pairs of every species, male and female, and thy family - except those of them against whom the Word has already gone forth: And address Me not in favour of the wrong - doers; for they shall be drowned (in the Flood).
Da gaben Wir ihm ein: "Verfertige das Schiff vor Unseren Augen und nach Unserer Eingebung. Wenn dann Unser Befehl kommt und der Ofen brodelt, so führe von jeder (Art) ein Paar und deine Angehörigen hinein, außer gegen wen das Wort vorher ergangen ist. Und sprich Mich nicht an zugunsten derjenigen, die Unrecht getan haben; sie werden ertränkt werden.
