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

Inna arsalna noohan ilaqawmihi an anthir qawmaka min qabli an ya/tiyahum AAathabunaleem

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

Qala ya qawmi innee lakum natheerunmubeen

To worship Allāh, fear Him and obey me.

Ani oAAbudoo Allaha wattaqoohuwaateeAAoon

He [i.e., Allāh] will forgive you of your sins and delay you for a specified term. Indeed, the time [set by] Allāh, when it comes, will not be delayed, if you only knew."

Yaghfir lakum min thunoobikumwayu-akhkhirkum ila ajalin musamman inna ajala Allahiitha jaa la yu-akhkharu law kuntumtaAAlamoon

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

Qala rabbi innee daAAawtu qawmeelaylan wanahara

But my invitation increased them not except in flight [i.e., aversion].

Falam yazidhum duAAa-ee illafirara

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-innee kullama daAAawtuhumlitaghfira lahum jaAAaloo asabiAAahum fee athanihimwastaghshaw thiyabahum waasarroo wastakbarooistikbara

Then I invited them publicly.

Thumma innee daAAawtuhum jihara

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

Thumma innee aAAlantu lahum waasrartu lahumisrara

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

Faqultu istaghfiroo rabbakum innahu kanaghaffara

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

Yursili assamaa AAalaykummidrara

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

Wayumdidkum bi-amwalin wabaneenawayajAAal lakum jannatin wayajAAal lakum anhara

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

Ma lakum la tarjoona lillahiwaqara

While He has created you in stages?

Waqad khalaqakum atwara

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

Alam taraw kayfa khalaqa AllahusabAAa samawatin tibaqa

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

WajaAAala alqamara feehinna nooran wajaAAalaashshamsa siraja

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

Wallahu anbatakum mina al-ardinabata

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

Thumma yuAAeedukum feehawayukhrijukum ikhraja

And Allāh has made for you the earth an expanse

Wallahu jaAAala lakumu al-ardabisata

That you may follow therein roads of passage.'"

Litaslukoo minha subulan fijaja

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

Qala noohun rabbi innahum AAasawneewattabaAAoo man lam yazidhu maluhu wawaladuhu illakhasara

And they conspired an immense conspiracy

Wamakaroo makran kubbara

And said, 'Never leave your gods and never leave Wadd or Suwāʿ or Yaghūth and Yaʿūq and Nasr.'

Waqaloo la tatharunna alihatakumwala tatharunna waddan wala suwaAAanwala yaghootha wayaAAooqa wanasra

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

Waqad adalloo katheeran walatazidi aththalimeena illa dalala

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

Mimma khatee-atihimoghriqoo faodkhiloo naran falam yajidoo lahum min dooniAllahi ansara

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

Waqala noohun rabbi latathar AAala al-ardi mina alkafireenadayyara

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

Innaka in tatharhum yudillooAAibadaka wala yalidoo illa fajirankaffara

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."
