سُورَةُ نُوحٍ

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

Innaaa arsalnaa Noohan ilaa qawmihee an anzir qawmaka min qabli any yaatiyahum 'azaabun aleem

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

Qaala yaa qawmi innee lakum nazeerum mubeen

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

Ani'udul laaha watta qoohu wa atee'oon

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.' "

Yaghfir lakum min zunoobikum wa yu'akhkhirkum ilaaa ajalim musammaa; innaa ajalal laahi izaa jaaa'a laa yu'akhkhar; law kuntum ta'lamoon

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

Qaala rabbi innee da'awtu qawmee lailanw wa naharaa

But my invitation increased them not except in flight.

Falam yazid hum du'aaa 'eee illaa firaaraa

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.

Wa inee kullamaa da'awtuhum litaghfira lahum ja'alooo asaabi'ahum fee aazaanihim wastaghshaw siyaabahum wa asaarroo wastakbarus tikbaaraa

Then I invited them publicly.

Summa innee da'aw tuhum jihaara

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

Summaa inneee a'lantu lahum wa asrartu lahum israaraa

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

Faqultus taghfiroo Rabakam innahoo kaana Ghaffaaraa

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

Yursilis samaaa'a 'alaikum midraaraa

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

Wa yumdidkum bi am waalinw wa baneena wa yaj'al lakum Jannaatinw wa yaj'al lakum anhaaraa

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

Maa lakum laa tarjoona lillaahi waqaaraa

While He has created you in stages?

Wa qad khalaqakum at waaraa

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

Alam taraw kaifa khalaqal laahu sab'a samaawaatin tibaaqaa

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

Wa ja'alal qamara feehinna nooranw wa ja'alash shamsa siraajaa

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

Wallaahu ambatakum minal ardi nabaataa

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

Summa yu'eedukum feehaa wa ukhrijukum ikhraajaa

And Allah has made for you the earth an expanse

Wallaahu ja'ala lakumul arda bisaataa

That you may follow therein roads of passage.' "

Litaslukoo minhaa subulan fijaajaa

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

Qaala Noohur Robbi innahum 'asawnee wattaba'oo mal lam yazid hu maaluhoo wa waladuhooo illaa khasaara

And they conspired an immense conspiracy.

Wa makaroo makran kubbaaraa

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

Wa qaaloo laa tazarunna aalihatakum wa laa tazarunna Waddanw wa laa Suwaa'anw wa laa Yaghoosa wa Ya'ooqa wa Nasraa

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

Wa qad adalloo kasee ranw wa laa tazidiz zaalimeena illaa dalaalaa

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

Mimmaa khateee' aatihim ughriqoo fa udkhiloo Naaran falam yajidoo lahum min doonil laahi ansaaraa

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

Wa qaala Noohur Rabbi laa tazar 'alal ardi minal kaafireena daiyaaraa

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

Innaka in tazarhum yudil loo 'ibaadaka wa laa yalidooo illaa faajiran kaffaaraa

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."

Rabbigh fir lee wa liwaa lidaiya wa liman dakhala baitiya mu'minanw wa lil mu'mineena wal mu'minaati wa laa tazidiz zaalimeena illaa tabaaraa
