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

2 Qala ya qawmi innee lakum natheerun mubeenun

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

3 Ani oAAbudoo Allaha waittaqoohu waateeAAooni

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

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

5 Qala rabbi innee daAAawtu qawmee laylan wanaharan

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

6 Falam yazidhum duAAaee illa firaran

6 But my invitation increased them not except in flight.

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

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.

8 Thumma innee daAAawtuhum jiharan

8 Then I invited them publicly.

9 Thumma innee aAAlantu lahum waasrartu lahum israran

10 Faqultu istaghfiroo rabbakum innahu kana ghaffaran

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

11 Yursili alssamaa AAalaykum midraran

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

12 Wayumdidkum biamwalin wabaneena wayajAAal lakum jannatin wayajAAal lakum anharan

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

13 Ma lakum la tarjoona lillahi waqaran

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

14 Waqad khalaqakum atwaran

14 While He has created you in stages?

15 Alam taraw kayfa khalaqa Allahu sabAAa samawatin tibaqan

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

16 WajaAAala alqamara feehinna nooran wajaAAala alshshamsa sirajan

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

17 WaAllahu anbatakum mina alardi nabatan

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

18 Thumma yuAAeedukum feeha wayukhrijukum ikhrajan

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

19 WaAllahu jaAAala lakumu alarda bisatan

19 And Allah has made for you the earth an expanse

20 Litaslukoo minha subulan fijajan

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

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

24 Waqad adalloo katheeran wala tazidi alththalimeena illa dalalan

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

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

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

26 Waqala noohun rabbi la tathar AAala alardi mina alkafireena dayyaran

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

27 Innaka in tatharhum yudilloo AAibadaka wala yalidoo illa fajiran kaffaran

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

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 whoever enters my house a believer and the believing men and believing women. And do not increase the wrongdoers except in destruction."
