5 Qala rabbi innee daAAawtu qawmee laylan wanaharan

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

6 "But all my calling added nothing but to (their) flight (from the truth).

7 And verily, every time I called unto them that You might forgive them, they thrust their fingers into their ears, covered themselves up with their garments, and persisted (in their refusal), and magnified themselves in pride.

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

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 Thumma innee daAAawtuhum jiharan

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 Allah (His punishment), and] you hope not for reward (from Allah or you believe not in His Oneness).

13 Ma lakum la tarjoona lillahi waqaran

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

14 Waqad khalaqakum atwaran

21 Nuh (Noah) said: "My Lord! They have disobeyed me, and followed one whose wealth and children give him no increase but loss.

21 Qala noohun rabbi innahum AAasawnee waittabaAAoo man lam yazidhu maluhu wawaladuhu illa khasaran

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 plotted a mighty plot.

22 Wamakaroo makran kubbaran

22 "And they have devised a tremendous Plot.

23 "And they have said: 'You shall not leave your gods: nor shall you leave Wadd, nor Suwa', nor Yaghuth, nor Ya'uq nor Nasr' (these are the names of their idols).

23 Waqaloo la tatharunna alihatakum wala tatharunna waddan wala suwaAAan wala yaghootha wayaAAooqa wanasran

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 many astray. And (O Allah): 'Grant no increase to the Zalimun (polytheists, wrong-doers, and disbelievers) save error.'"

24 Waqad adalloo katheeran wala tazidi alththalimeena illa dalalan

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 sins they were drowned, then were made to enter the Fire. And they found none to help them instead of Allah.

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

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 (Noah) said: "My Lord! Leave not one of the disbelievers on the earth!

26 Waqala noohun rabbi la tathar AAala alardi mina alkafireena dayyaran

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

27 "If You leave them, they will mislead Your slaves, and they will beget none but wicked disbelievers.

27 Innaka in tatharhum yudilloo AAibadaka wala yalidoo illa fajiran kaffaran

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 home as a believer, and all the believing men and women. And to the Zalimun (polytheists, wrong-doers, and disbelievers) grant You no increase but destruction!"

28 Rabbi ighfir lee waliwalidayya waliman dakhala baytiya muminan walilmumineena waalmuminati wala tazidi alththalimeena illa tabaran

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!"
