নূহ

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

4 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.' "

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."

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

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

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

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

6 But my invitation increased them not except in flight.

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

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:

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.

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.

8 Then surely I called to them aloud:

8 Then I invited them publicly.

8 "So I have called to them aloud;

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

9 Then I announced to them and [also] confided to them secretly

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

14 And indeed He has created you through various grades:

14 While He has created you in stages?

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

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

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

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

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

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

16 "'And made the moon a light in their midst, and made the sun as a (Glorious) Lamp?

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

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

17 "'And Allah has produced you from the earth growing (gradually),

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

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

18 "'And in the End He will return you into the (earth), and raise you forth (again at the Resurrection)?

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

19 And Allah has made for you the earth an expanse

19 "'And Allah has made the earth for you as a carpet (spread out),

20 That you may go along therein in wide paths.

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

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

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

21 Noah said, "My Lord, indeed they have disobeyed me and followed him whose wealth and children will not increase him except in loss.

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.

22 And they have planned a very great plan.

22 And they conspired an immense conspiracy.

22 "And they have devised a tremendous Plot.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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."

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!"
