بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِ أَنْ أَنذِرْ قَوْمَكَ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
Indeed, We sent Noah to his people, [saying], "Warn your people before there comes to them a painful punishment."
Inna arsalna noohan ila qawmihi an anthir qawmaka min qabli an yatiyahum AAathabun aleemun
Surely We sent Nuh to his people, saying: Warn your people before there come upon them a painful chastisement.
قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ إِنِّي لَكُمْ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ
He said, "O my people, indeed I am to you a clear warner,
Qala ya qawmi innee lakum natheerun mubeenun
He said: O my people! Surely I am a plain warner to you:
أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَاتَّقُوهُ وَأَطِيعُونِ
[Saying], 'Worship Allah, fear Him and obey me.
Ani oAAbudoo Allaha waittaqoohu waateeAAooni
That you should serve Allah and be careful of (your duty to) Him and obey me:
يَغْفِرْ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُؤَخِّرْكُمْ إِلَىٰ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۚ إِنَّ أَجَلَ اللَّهِ إِذَا جَاءَ لَا يُؤَخَّرُ ۖ لَوْ كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ
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.' "
Yaghfir lakum min thunoobikum wayuakhkhirkum ila ajalin musamman inna ajala Allahi itha jaa la yuakhkharu law kuntum taAAlamoona
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!
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي دَعَوْتُ قَوْمِي لَيْلًا وَنَهَارًا
He said, "My Lord, indeed I invited my people [to truth] night and day.
Qala rabbi innee daAAawtu qawmee laylan wanaharan
He said: O my Lord! surely I have called my people by night and by day!
فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُمْ دُعَائِي إِلَّا فِرَارًا
But my invitation increased them not except in flight.
Falam yazidhum duAAaee illa firaran
But my call has only made them flee the more:
وَإِنِّي كُلَّمَا دَعَوْتُهُمْ لِتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ جَعَلُوا أَصَابِعَهُمْ فِي آذَانِهِمْ وَاسْتَغْشَوْا ثِيَابَهُمْ وَأَصَرُّوا وَاسْتَكْبَرُوا اسْتِكْبَارًا
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.
Wainnee kullama daAAawtuhum litaghfira lahum jaAAaloo asabiAAahum fee athanihim waistaghshaw thiyabahum waasarroo waistakbaroo istikbaran
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:
ثُمَّ إِنِّي دَعَوْتُهُمْ جِهَارًا
Then I invited them publicly.
Thumma innee daAAawtuhum jiharan
Then surely I called to them aloud:
ثُمَّ إِنِّي أَعْلَنتُ لَهُمْ وَأَسْرَرْتُ لَهُمْ إِسْرَارًا
Then I announced to them and [also] confided to them secretly
Thumma innee aAAlantu lahum waasrartu lahum israran
Then surely I spoke to them in public and I spoke to them in secret:
فَقُلْتُ اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ غَفَّارًا
And said, 'Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Indeed, He is ever a Perpetual Forgiver.
Faqultu istaghfiroo rabbakum innahu kana ghaffaran
Then I said, Ask forgiveness of your Lord, surely He is the most Forgiving:
يُرْسِلِ السَّمَاءَ عَلَيْكُم مِّدْرَارًا
He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in [continuing] showers
Yursili alssamaa AAalaykum midraran
He will send down upon you the cloud, pouring down abundance of rain:
وَيُمْدِدْكُم بِأَمْوَالٍ وَبَنِينَ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ جَنَّاتٍ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ أَنْهَارًا

Thumma yuAAeedukum feeha wayukhrijukum ikhrajan
