নূহ (নবী নূহ আঃ)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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."

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.' "

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

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

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

6 But my invitation increased them not except in flight.

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.

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 "So I have called to them aloud;

8 Then I invited them publicly.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

14 While He has created you in stages?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

19 And Allah has made for you the earth an expanse

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

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

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.

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

22 "And they have devised a tremendous Plot.

22 And they conspired an immense conspiracy.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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!"

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."
