Nuh

We sent Nuh to his people: "Warn your people before there comes to them a painful punishment."

انا ارسلنا نوحا الي قومه ان انذر قومك من قبل ان ياتيهم عذاب اليم

for the term of God, when it comes, cannot be adjourned, if you only knew."

ان اجل الله اذا جا لا يوخر لو كنتم تعلمون

He said, "My Guardian, indeed I have called my people night and day, but my call has only increased them in flight.

قال رب اني دعوت قومي ليلا ونهارا فلم يزدهم دعاي الا فرارا

And every time I called them, that You might forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears, covered themselves with their clothes, persisted, and grew proud, fully.

واني كلما دعوتهم لتغفر لهم جعلوا اصبعهم في اذانهم واستغشوا ثيابهم واصروا واستكبروا استكبارا

Then I called them openly,

ثم اني دعوتهم جهارا

then I announced to them publicly and confided to them privately, and said: Ask forgiveness of your Guardian; indeed, He is ever a Great Forgiver. He will send upon you the sky in copious streams, and provide you with goods and sons, and give you gardens, and give you rivers.

ثم اني اعلنت لهم واسررت لهم اسرارا فقلت استغفروا ربكم انه كان غفارا يرسل السما عليكم مدرارا ويمددكم بامول وبنين ويجعل لكم جنت ويجعل لكم انهرا

What is with you, that you do not hope from God for gravity, when He has created you in successive stages?

ما لكم لا ترجون لله وقارا وقد خلقكم اطوارا

Do you not see how God has created seven heavens in layers, and made the moon therein a light, and made the sun a torch?

الم تروا كيف خلق الله سبع سموت طباقا وجعل القمر فيهن نورا وجعل الشمس سراجا

And God has caused you to grow from the earth as a growth. Then He will bring you back into it and bring you out anew.

والله انبتكم من الارض نباتا ثم يعيدكم فيها ويخرجكم اخراجا

And God has made for you the earth an expanse, that you may follow therein ways, wide passes."

والله جعل لكم الارض بساطا لتسلكوا منها سبلا فجاجا

Nuh said, "My Guardian, indeed they have disobeyed me and followed him whose goods and children increased him not except in loss, and they have plotted a very great plot,

قال نوح رب انهم عصوني واتبعوا من لم يزده ماله وولده الا خسارا ومكروا مكرا كبارا

and said: Never forsake your deities, nor forsake Wadd, nor Suwa', nor Yaghuth, nor Ya'uq, nor Nasr.

وقالوا لا تذرن الهتكم ولا تذرن ودا ولا سواعا ولا يغوث ويعوق ونسرا

And do not increase the wrongdoers except in error."

ولا تزد الظلمين الا ضللا

Because of their faults they were drowned and put into a fire, and they found none besides God to help them.

مما خطيتهم اغرقوا فادخلوا نارا فلم يجدوا لهم من دون الله انصارا

And Nuh said, "My Guardian, spare not upon the earth, among the disowners, any dweller!

وقال نوح رب لا تذر علي الارض من الكفرين ديارا

For if You spare them, they will mislead Your obedient ones and will not beget except depraved ones, great disowners.

انك ان تذرهم يضلوا عبادك ولا يلدوا الا فاجرا كفارا

and do not increase the wrongdoers except in devastation."

ولا تزد الظلمين الا تبارا
