Nuh

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.

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

2 Qala ya qawmi innee lakum natheerun mubeenun

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

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

3 Ani oAAbudoo Allaha waittaqoohu waateeAAooni

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

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

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.

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!

5 Qala rabbi innee daAAawtu qawmee laylan wanaharan

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

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

6 Falam yazidhum duAAaee illa firaran

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

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

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.

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:

8 Thumma innee daAAawtuhum jiharan

8 And lo! I have called unto them aloud,

8 Then surely I called to them aloud:

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.

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

10 Faqultu istaghfiroo rabbakum innahu kana ghaffaran

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

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

11 Yursili alssamaa AAalaykum midraran

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

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

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.

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

13 Ma lakum la tarjoona lillahi waqaran

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

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

14 Waqad khalaqakum atwaran

14 When He created you by (divers) stages ?

14 And indeed He has created you through various grades:

15 Alam taraw kayfa khalaqa Allahu sabAAa samawatin tibaqan

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

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

16 WajaAAala alqamara feehinna nooran wajaAAala alshshamsa sirajan

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

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

17 WaAllahu anbatakum mina alardi nabatan

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

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

18 Thumma yuAAeedukum feeha wayukhrijukum ikhrajan

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

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

19 WaAllahu jaAAala lakumu alarda bisatan

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

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

20 Litaslukoo minha subulan fijajan

20 That ye may thread the valley - ways thereof.

20 That you may go along therein in wide paths.

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;

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

22 Wamakaroo makran kubbaran

22 And they have plotted a mighty plot,

22 And they have planned a very great plan.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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!
