إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦٓ أَنْ أَنذِرْ قَوْمَكَ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

Pickthall

Lo! We sent Noah unto his people (saying): Warn thy people ere the painful doom come unto them.
2

قَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ إِنِّى لَكُمْ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ

Pickthall

He said: O my people! Lo! I am a plain warner unto you
3

أَنِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱتَّقُوهُ وَأَطِيعُونِ

Pickthall

(Bidding you): Serve Allah and keep your duty unto Him and obey me,
4

يَغْفِرْ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُؤَخِّرْكُمْ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى إِنَّ أَجَلَ ٱللَّهِ إِذَا جَآءَ لَا يُؤَخَّرُ لَوْ كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

Pickthall

That He may forgive you somewhat of your sins and respite you to an appointed term. Lo! the term of Allah, when it cometh, cannot be delayed, if ye but knew.
5

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّى دَعَوْتُ قَوْمِى لَيْلًا وَنَهَارًا

Pickthall

He said: My Lord! Lo! I have called unto my people night and day
6

فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُمْ دُعَآءِىٓ إِلَّا فِرَارًا

Pickthall

But all my calling doth but add to their repugnance;
7

وَإِنِّى كُلَّمَا دَعَوْتُهُمْ لِتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ جَعَلُوٓا۟ أَصَٰبِعَهُمْ فِىٓ ءَاذَانِهِمْ وَٱسْتَغْشَوْا۟ ثِيَابَهُمْ وَأَصَرُّوا۟ وَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ ٱسْتِكْبَارًا

Pickthall

And lo! whenever I call unto them that Thou mayst pardon them they thrust their fingers in their ears and cover themselves with their garments and persist (in their refusal) and magnify themselves in pride.
8

ثُمَّ إِنِّى دَعَوْتُهُمْ جِهَارًا

Pickthall

And lo! I have called unto them aloud,
9

ثُمَّ إِنِّىٓ أَعْلَنتُ لَهُمْ وَأَسْرَرْتُ لَهُمْ إِسْرَارًا

Pickthall

And lo! I have made public proclamation unto them, and I have appealed to them in private.
10

فَقُلْتُ ٱسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ غَفَّارًا

Pickthall

And I have said: Seek pardon of your Lord. Lo! He was ever Forgiving.
11

يُرْسِلِ ٱلسَّمَآءَ عَلَيْكُم مِّدْرَارًا

Pickthall

He will let loose the sky for you in plenteous rain,
12

وَيُمْدِدْكُم بِأَمْوَٰلٍ وَبَنِينَ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ جَنَّٰتٍ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ أَنْهَٰرًا

Pickthall

And will help you with wealth and sons, and will assign unto you Gardens and will assign unto you rivers.
13

مَّا لَكُمْ لَا تَرْجُونَ لِلَّهِ وَقَارًا

Pickthall

What aileth you that ye hope not toward Allah for dignity
14

وَقَدْ خَلَقَكُمْ أَطْوَارًا

Pickthall

When He created you by (divers) stages?
15

أَلَمْ تَرَوْا۟ كَيْفَ خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ سَبْعَ سَمَٰوَٰتٍ طِبَاقًا

Pickthall

See ye not how Allah hath created seven heavens in harmony,
16

وَجَعَلَ ٱلْقَمَرَ فِيهِنَّ نُورًا وَجَعَلَ ٱلشَّمْسَ سِرَاجًا

Pickthall

And hath made the moon a light therein, and made the sun a lamp?
17

وَٱللَّهُ أَنۢبَتَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ نَبَاتًا

Pickthall

And Allah hath caused you to grow as a growth from the earth,
18

ثُمَّ يُعِيدُكُمْ فِيهَا وَيُخْرِجُكُمْ إِخْرَاجًا

Pickthall

And afterward He maketh you return thereto, and He will bring you forth again, a (new) forthbringing.
19

وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ بِسَاطًا

Pickthall

And Allah hath made the earth a wide expanse for you
20

لِّتَسْلُكُوا۟ مِنْهَا سُبُلًا فِجَاجًا

Pickthall

That ye may thread the valley-ways thereof.
21

قَالَ نُوحٌ رَّبِّ إِنَّهُمْ عَصَوْنِى وَٱتَّبَعُوا۟ مَن لَّمْ يَزِدْهُ مَالُهُۥ وَوَلَدُهُۥٓ إِلَّا خَسَارًا

Pickthall

Noah said: My Lord! Lo! they have disobeyed me and followed one whose wealth and children increase him in naught save ruin;
22

وَمَكَرُوا۟ مَكْرًا كُبَّارًا

Pickthall

And they have plotted a mighty plot,
23

وَقَالُوا۟ لَا تَذَرُنَّ ءَالِهَتَكُمْ وَلَا تَذَرُنَّ وَدًّا وَلَا سُوَاعًا وَلَا يَغُوثَ وَيَعُوقَ وَنَسْرًا

Pickthall

And they have said: Forsake not your gods. Forsake not Wadd, nor Suwa', nor Yaghuth and Ya'uq and Nasr.
24

وَقَدْ أَضَلُّوا۟ كَثِيرًا وَلَا تَزِدِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ إِلَّا ضَلَٰلًا

Pickthall

And they have led many astray, and Thou increasest the wrong-doers in naught save error.
25

مِّمَّا خَطِيٓـَٰٔتِهِمْ أُغْرِقُوا۟ فَأُدْخِلُوا۟ نَارًا فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا۟ لَهُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَنصَارًا

Pickthall

Because of their sins they were drowned, then made to enter a Fire. And they found they had no helpers in place of Allah.
26

وَقَالَ نُوحٌ رَّبِّ لَا تَذَرْ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنَ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ دَيَّارًا

Pickthall

And Noah said: My Lord! Leave not one of the disbelievers in the land.
27

إِنَّكَ إِن تَذَرْهُمْ يُضِلُّوا۟ عِبَادَكَ وَلَا يَلِدُوٓا۟ إِلَّا فَاجِرًا كَفَّارًا

Pickthall

If Thou shouldst leave them, they will mislead Thy slaves and will beget none save lewd ingrates.
28

رَّبِّ ٱغْفِرْ لِى وَلِوَٰلِدَىَّ وَلِمَن دَخَلَ بَيْتِىَ مُؤْمِنًا وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَٰتِ وَلَا تَزِدِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ إِلَّا تَبَارًۢا

Pickthall
