1 Noah preaches

إِنَّاۤ أَرۡسَلۡنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوۡمِهِۦۤ أَنۡ أَنذِرۡ قَوۡمَكَ مِن قَبۡلِ أَن یَأۡتِیَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ أَلِیمࣱ ۝١

Mustafa Khattab 2018

Indeed, We sent Noah to his people ˹saying to him˺, “Warn your people before a painful punishment comes to them.”

innā arsalnā nūḥan ilā qawmihi an andhir qawmaka min qabli an yatiyahum ʿadhābun alīmu

قَالَ یَـٰقَوۡمِ إِنِّی لَكُمۡ نَذِیرࣱ مُّبِینٌ ۝٢

Mustafa Khattab 2018

Noah proclaimed, “O my people! I am truly sent to you with a clear warning:

qāla yāqawmi innī lakum nadhīrun mubīnu

أَنِ ٱعۡبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱتَّقُوهُ وَأَطِیعُونِ ۝٣

Mustafa Khattab 2018

worship Allah ˹alone˺, fear Him, and obey me.

ani uʿ'budū l-laha wa-ittaqūhu wa-aṭīʿūn

یَغۡفِرۡ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمۡ وَیُؤَخِّرۡكُمۡ إِلَىٰۤ أَجَلࣲ مُّسَمًّىۚ إِنَّ أَجَلَ ٱللَّهِ إِذَا جَاۤءَ لَا یُؤَخَّرُۚ لَوۡ كُنتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُونَ ۝٤

Mustafa Khattab 2018

He will forgive your sins, and delay your end until the appointed time. Indeed, when the time set by Allah comes, it cannot be delayed, if only you knew!”

yaghfir lakum min dhunūbikum wayu-akhir'kum ilā ajalin musamman inna ajala l-lahi idhā jāa lā yu-akharu law kuntum taʿlamūn

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّی دَعَوۡتُ قَوۡمِی لَیۡلࣰا وَنَهَارࣰا ۝٥

Mustafa Khattab 2018

He cried, “My Lord! I have surely called my people day and night,

qāla rabbi innī daʿawtu qawmī laylan wanahāra

فَلَمۡ یَزِدۡهُمۡ دُعَاۤءِیۤ إِلَّا فِرَارࣰا ۝٦

Mustafa Khattab 2018

but my calls only made them run farther away.

falam yazid'hum duʿāī illā firāra

وَإِنِّی كُلَّمَا دَعَوۡتُهُمۡ لِتَغۡفِرَ لَهُمۡ جَعَلُوۤا۟ أَصَـٰبِعَهُمۡ فِیۤ ءَاذَانِهِمۡ وَٱسۡتَغۡشَوۡا۟ ثِیَابَهُمۡ وَأَصَرُّوا۟ وَٱسۡتَكۡبَرُوا۟ ٱسۡتِكۡبَارࣰا ۝٧

Mustafa Khattab 2018

And whenever I invite them to be forgiven by You, they press their fingers into their ears, cover themselves with their clothes, persist ˹in denial˺, and act very arrogantly.

wa-innī kullamā daʿawtuhum litaghfira lahum jaʿalū aṣābiʿahum fī ādhānihim wa-is'taghshaw thiyābahum wa-aṣarrū wa-is'takbarū is'tik'bāra

ثُمَّ إِنِّی دَعَوۡتُهُمۡ جِهَارࣰا ۝٨

Mustafa Khattab 2018

Then I certainly called them openly,

thumma innī daʿawtuhum jihāra

ثُمَّ إِنِّیۤ أَعۡلَنتُ لَهُمۡ وَأَسۡرَرۡتُ لَهُمۡ إِسۡرَارࣰا ۝٩

Mustafa Khattab 2018

then I surely preached to them publicly and privately,

thumma innī aʿlantu lahum wa-asrartu lahum is'rāra

فَقُلۡتُ ٱسۡتَغۡفِرُوا۟ رَبَّكُمۡ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ غَفَّارࣰا ۝١٠

Mustafa Khattab 2018

saying, ‘Seek your Lord’s forgiveness, ˹for˺ He is truly Most Forgiving.

faqul'tu is'taghfirū rabbakum innahu kāna ghaffāra

یُرۡسِلِ ٱلسَّمَاۤءَ عَلَیۡكُم مِّدۡرَارࣰا ۝١١

Mustafa Khattab 2018

He will shower you with abundant rain,

yur'sili l-samāa ʿalaykum mid'rāra

وَیُمۡدِدۡكُم بِأَمۡوَ ٰلࣲ وَبَنِینَ وَیَجۡعَل لَّكُمۡ جَنَّـٰتࣲ وَیَجۡعَل لَّكُمۡ أَنۡهَـٰرࣰا ۝١٢

Mustafa Khattab 2018

supply you with wealth and children, and give you gardens as well as rivers.

wayum'did'kum bi-amwālin wabanīna wayajʿal lakum jannātin wayajʿal lakum anhāra

مَّا لَكُمۡ لَا تَرۡجُونَ لِلَّهِ وَقَارࣰا ۝١٣

Mustafa Khattab 2018

What is the matter with you that you are not in awe of the Majesty of Allah,

mā lakum lā tarjūna lillahi waqāra

وَقَدۡ خَلَقَكُمۡ أَطۡوَارًا ۝١٤

Mustafa Khattab 2018

when He truly created you in stages ˹of development˺?

waqad khalaqakum aṭwāra

أَلَمۡ تَرَوۡا۟ كَیۡفَ خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ سَبۡعَ سَمَـٰوَ ٰتࣲ طِبَاقࣰا ۝١٥

Mustafa Khattab 2018

Do you not see how Allah created seven heavens, one above the other,

alam taraw kayfa khalaqa l-lahu sabʿa samāwātin ṭibāqa

وَجَعَلَ ٱلۡقَمَرَ فِیهِنَّ نُورࣰا وَجَعَلَ ٱلشَّمۡسَ سِرَاجࣰا ۝١٦

Mustafa Khattab 2018

placing the moon within them as a ˹reflected˺ light, and the sun as a ˹radiant˺ lamp?

wajaʿala l-qamara fīhinna nūran wajaʿala l-shamsa sirāja

وَٱللَّهُ أَنۢبَتَكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡأَرۡضِ نَبَاتࣰا ۝١٧

Mustafa Khattab 2018

Allah ˹alone˺ caused you to grow from the earth like a plant.

wal-lahu anbatakum mina l-arḍi nabāta

ثُمَّ یُعِیدُكُمۡ فِیهَا وَیُخۡرِجُكُمۡ إِخۡرَاجࣰا ۝١٨

Mustafa Khattab 2018

Then He will return you to it, and then simply bring you forth ˹again˺.

thumma yuʿīdukum fīhā wayukh'rijukum ikh'rāja

وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ بِسَاطࣰا ۝١٩

Mustafa Khattab 2018

And Allah ˹alone˺ spread out the earth for you

wal-lahu jaʿala lakumu l-arḍa bisāṭa

لِّتَسۡلُكُوا۟ مِنۡهَا سُبُلࣰا فِجَاجࣰا ۝٢٠

Mustafa Khattab 2018

to walk along its spacious pathways.’”

litaslukū min'hā subulan fijāja

2 Destruction of Transgressors

قَالَ نُوحࣱ رَّبِّ إِنَّهُمۡ عَصَوۡنِی وَٱتَّبَعُوا۟ مَن لَّمۡ یَزِدۡهُ مَالُهُۥ وَوَلَدُهُۥۤ إِلَّا خَسَارࣰا ۝٢١

Mustafa Khattab 2018

˹Eventually,˺ Noah cried, “My Lord! They have certainly persisted in disobeying me, and followed ˹instead˺ those ˹elite˺ whose ˹abundant˺ wealth and children only increase them in loss,

qāla nūḥun rabbi innahum ʿaṣawnī wa-ittabaʿū man lam yazid'hu māluhu wawaladuhu illā khasāra

وَمَكَرُوا۟ مَكۡرࣰا كُبَّارࣰا ۝٢٢

Mustafa Khattab 2018

and who have devised a tremendous plot,

wamakarū makran kubbāra

وَقَالُوا۟ لَا تَذَرُنَّ ءَالِهَتَكُمۡ وَلَا تَذَرُنَّ وَدࣰّا وَلَا سُوَاعࣰا وَلَا یَغُوثَ وَیَعُوقَ وَنَسۡرࣰا ۝٢٣

Mustafa Khattab 2018

urging ˹their followers˺, ‘Do not abandon your idols—especially Wadd, Suwâ’, Yaghûth, Ya’ûq, and Nasr.’

waqālū lā tadharunna ālihatakum walā tadharunna waddan walā suwāʿan walā yaghūtha wayaʿūqa wanasra

وَقَدۡ أَضَلُّوا۟ كَثِیرࣰاۖ وَلَا تَزِدِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِینَ إِلَّا ضَلَـٰلࣰا ۝٢٤

Mustafa Khattab 2018

Those ˹elite˺ have already led many astray. So ˹O Lord˺, only allow the wrongdoers to stray farther away.”

waqad aḍallū kathīran walā tazidi l-ẓālimīna illā ḍalāla

مِّمَّا خَطِیۤءَـٰتِهِمۡ أُغۡرِقُوا۟ فَأُدۡخِلُوا۟ نَارࣰا فَلَمۡ یَجِدُوا۟ لَهُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَنصَارࣰا ۝٢٥

Mustafa Khattab 2018

So because of their sins, they were drowned, then admitted into the Fire. And they found none to help them against Allah.

mimmā khaṭīātihim ugh'riqū fa-ud'khilū nāran falam yajidū lahum min dūni l-lahi anṣāra

وَقَالَ نُوحࣱ رَّبِّ لَا تَذَرۡ عَلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مِنَ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِینَ دَیَّارًا ۝٢٦

Mustafa Khattab 2018

Noah had prayed, “My Lord! Do not leave a single disbeliever on earth.

waqāla nūḥun rabbi lā tadhar ʿalā l-arḍi mina l-kāfirīna dayyāra

إِنَّكَ إِن تَذَرۡهُمۡ یُضِلُّوا۟ عِبَادَكَ وَلَا یَلِدُوۤا۟ إِلَّا فَاجِرࣰا كَفَّارࣰا ۝٢٧

Mustafa Khattab 2018

For if You spare ˹any of˺ them, they will certainly mislead Your servants, and give birth only to ˹wicked˺ sinners, staunch disbelievers.

innaka in tadharhum yuḍillū ʿibādaka walā yalidū illā fājiran kaffāra

رَّبِّ ٱغۡفِرۡ لِی وَلِوَ ٰلِدَیَّ وَلِمَن دَخَلَ بَیۡتِیَ مُؤۡمِنࣰا وَلِلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ وَٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَـٰتِۖ وَلَا تَزِدِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِینَ إِلَّا تَبَارَۢا ۝٢٨

Mustafa Khattab 2018

My Lord! Forgive me, my parents, and whoever enters my house in faith, and ˹all˺ believing men and women. And increase the wrongdoers only in destruction.”
