اِنَّآ اَرْسَلْنَا نُوْحًا اِلٰى قَوْمِهٖٓ اَنْ اَنْذِرْ قَوْمَكَ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ يَّأْتِيَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِيْمٌ

innā arsalnā nụhan ilā qaumihī an anżir qaumaka ming qabli ay ya`tiyahum 'ażābun alīm

SENT NOAH to his people to warn them before the painful punishment came upon them.

قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اِنِّيْ لَكُمْ نَذِيْرٌ مُّبِيْنٌۙ

qāla yā qaumi innī lakum nażīrum mubīn

He said: "O my people I warn you clearly

اَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ وَاتَّقُوْهُ وَاَطِيْعُوْنِۙ

ani'budullāha wattaqụhu wa aṭī'ụn

That you should worship God and fear Him and follow me

يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ مِّنْ ذُنُوْبِكُمْ وَيُؤَخِّرْكُمْ اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّىۗ اِنَّ اَجَلَ اللّٰهِ اِذَا جَاۤءَ لَا يُؤَخَّرُۘ لَوْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ

yagfir lakum min żunụbikum wa yu`akhkhirkum ilā ajalim musammā, inna ajalallāhi iżā jā`a lā yu`akhkhar, lau kuntum ta'lamụn

That He may forgive some of your sins and prolong your term till an appointed time. Surely when God´s appointed time is come it will not be put off if only you knew!

قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّيْ دَعَوْتُ قَوْمِيْ لَيْلًا وَّنَهَارًاۙ

qāla rabbi innī da'autu qaumī lailaw wa nahārā

He said: "O Lord I called my people night and day

فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُمْ دُعَاۤءِيْٓ اِلَّا فِرَارًا

fa lam yazid-hum du'ā`ī illā firārā

But the more I called they only ran the farther away.

وَاِنِّيْ كُلَّمَا دَعَوْتُهُمْ لِتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ جَعَلُوْٓا اَصَابِعَهُمْ فِيْٓ اٰذَانِهِمْ وَاسْتَغْشَوْا ثِيَابَهُمْ وَاَصَرُّوْا وَاسْتَكْبَرُوا اسْتِكْبَارًاۚ

wa innī kullamā da'autuhum litagfira lahum ja'alū aṣābi'ahum fī āżānihim wastagsyau ṡiyābahum wa aṣarrụ wastakbarustikbārā

And every time I called them that You may forgive them they thrust their fingers into their ears and covered themselves with their garments and became wayward and behaved with downright insolence.

ثُمَّ اِنِّيْ دَعَوْتُهُمْ جِهَارًاۙ

ṡumma innī da'autuhum jihārā

Then I called them loudly and more openly

ثُمَّ اِنِّيْٓ اَعْلَنْتُ لَهُمْ وَاَسْرَرْتُ لَهُمْ اِسْرَارًاۙ

ṡumma innī a'lantu lahum wa asrartu lahum isrārā

And declared to them in public and in private

فَقُلْتُ اسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّكُمْ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ غَفَّارًاۙ

fa qultustagfirụ rabbakum innahụ kāna gaffārā

And I told them: ´Ask your Lord to forgive you. He is verily forgiving.

يُّرْسِلِ السَّمَاۤءَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِّدْرَارًاۙ

yursilis-samā`a 'alaikum midrārā

He will send you abundant rain from the sky

وَّيُمْدِدْكُمْ بِاَمْوَالٍ وَّبَنِيْنَ وَيَجْعَلْ لَّكُمْ جَنّٰتٍ وَّيَجْعَلْ لَّكُمْ اَنْهٰرًاۗ

wa yumdidkum bi`amwāliw wa banīna wa yaj'al lakum jannātiw wa yaj'al lakum an-hārā

And will give you increase of wealth and sons and give you gardens and springs of water.

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَرْجُوْنَ لِلّٰهِ وَقَارًاۚ

mā lakum lā tarjụna lillāhi waqārā

What has come upon you that you do not fear the majesty of God

وَقَدْ خَلَقَكُمْ اَطْوَارًا

wa qad khalaqakum aṭwārā

Knowing that He has created you by various stages?

اَلَمْ تَرَوْا كَيْفَ خَلَقَ اللّٰهُ سَبْعَ سَمٰوٰتٍ طِبَاقًاۙ

a lam tarau kaifa khalaqallāhu sab'a samāwātin ṭibāqā

Do you not see how God has fashioned seven skies one above the other

وَّجَعَلَ الْقَمَرَ فِيْهِنَّ نُوْرًا وَّجَعَلَ الشَّمْسَ سِرَاجًا

wa ja'alal-qamara fīhinna nụraw wa ja'alasy-syamsa sirājā

And has placed the moon therein an illumination and has placed the sun a lighted lamp?

وَاللّٰهُ اَنْۢبَتَكُمْ مِّنَ الْاَرْضِ نَبَاتًاۙ

wallāhu ambatakum minal-arḍi nabātā

God produced you from the earth like a vegetable growth;

ثُمَّ يُعِيْدُكُمْ فِيْهَا وَيُخْرِجُكُمْ اِخْرَاجًا

ṡumma yu'īdukum fīhā wa yukhrijukum ikhrājā

He will then return you back to it and bring you out again.

وَاللّٰهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْاَرْضَ بِسَاطًاۙ

wallāhu ja'ala lakumul-arḍa bisāṭā

God has made the earth for you a spreading

لِّتَسْلُكُوْا مِنْهَا سُبُلًا فِجَاجًا

litaslukụ min-hā subulan fijājā

So that you may walk upon its spacious paths.´

قَالَ نُوْحٌ رَّبِّ اِنَّهُمْ عَصَوْنِيْ وَاتَّبَعُوْا مَنْ لَّمْ يَزِدْهُ مَالُهٗ وَوَلَدُهٗٓ اِلَّا خَسَارًاۚ

qāla nụḥur rabbi innahum 'aṣaunī wattaba'ụ mal lam yazid-hu māluhụ wa waladuhū illā khasārā

But they did not listen to me " Noah said "and followed him whose wealth and children only added to his ruin.

وَمَكَرُوْا مَكْرًا كُبَّارًاۚ

wa makarụ makrang kubbārā

And they contrived a plot of great magnitude

وَقَالُوْا لَا تَذَرُنَّ اٰلِهَتَكُمْ وَلَا تَذَرُنَّ وَدًّا وَّلَا سُوَاعًا ەۙ وَّلَا يَغُوْثَ وَيَعُوْقَ وَنَسْرًاۚ

wa qālụ lā tażarunna ālihatakum wa lā tażarunna waddaw wa lā suwā'aw wa lā yagụṡa wa ya'ụqa wa nasrā

And said: ´Do not abandon your gods and do not abandon Wadda or Suwa´ or Yaghuth Ya´uq or Nasr.´

وَقَدْ اَضَلُّوْا كَثِيْرًا ەۚ وَلَا تَزِدِ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ اِلَّا ضَلٰلًا

wa qad aḍallụ kaṡīrā, wa lā tazidiẓ-ẓālimīna illā ḍalālā

And they misled many. So do not give the evil-doers increase but in error.

مِمَّا خَطِيْۤـٰٔتِهِمْ اُغْرِقُوْا فَاُدْخِلُوْا نَارًا ەۙ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوْا لَهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اَنْصَارًا

mimmā khaṭī`ātihim ugriqụ fa udkhilụ nāran fa lam yajidụ lahum min dụnillāhi anṣārā

They were drowned because of their habitual sinfulness and sent to Hell and did not find any helper other than God.

وَقَالَ نُوْحٌ رَّبِّ لَا تَذَرْ عَلَى الْاَرْضِ مِنَ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ دَيَّارًا

wa qāla nụḥur rabbi lā tażar 'alal-arḍi minal-kāfirīna dayyārā

Noah said: "O Lord do not leave a single habitation of unbelievers on the earth.

اِنَّكَ اِنْ تَذَرْهُمْ يُضِلُّوْا عِبَادَكَ وَلَا يَلِدُوْٓا اِلَّا فَاجِرًا كَفَّارًا

innaka in tażar-hum yuḍillụ 'ibādaka wa lā yalidū illā fājirang kaffārā

If you leave them they will lead Your creatures astray and beget but iniquitous and ungrateful offspring.

رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِيْ وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَلِمَنْ دَخَلَ بَيْتِيَ مُؤْمِنًا وَّلِلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَالْمُؤْمِنٰتِۗ وَلَا تَزِدِ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ اِلَّا تَبَارًا

rabbigfir lī wa liwālidayya wa liman dakhala baitiya mu`minaw wa lil-mu`minīna wal-mu`mināt, wa lā tazidiẓ-ẓālimīna illā tabārā

O Lord forgive me my parents and any one who enters my house as a believer and all believing men and women and do not give the evil-doers increase save in ruin.
