| 1. * | Surely We sent Noah to his people, saying: Warn thy people before there come to them a painful chastisement. |
| 2. * | He said: O my people, surely I am a plain warner to you: |
| 3. * | That you should serve Allah and keep your duty to Him and obey me -- |
| 4. * | He will forgive you some of your sins and grant you respite to an appointed term. Surely the term of Allah, when it comes, is not postponed. Did you but know! |
| 5. * | He said: My Lord, I have called my people night and day: |
| 6. * | But my call has only made them flee the more. |
| 7. * | And whenever I call to them Thou mayest forgive them, they thrust their fingers in their ears and cover themselves with their garments, and persist and are big with pride. |
| 8. * | Then surely I have called to them aloud, |
| 9. * | Then spoken to them in public and spoken to them in private, |
| 10. * | So I have said: Ask forgiveness of your Lord; surely He is ever Forgiving: |
| 11. * | He will send down upon you rain, pouring in abundance, |
| 12. * | And help you with wealth and sons, and make for you gardens, and make for you rivers. |
| 13. * | What is the matter with you that you hope not for greatness from Allah? |
| 14. * | And indeed He has created you by various stages. |
| 15. * | See you not how Allah has created the seven heavens alike, |
| 16. * | And made the moon therein a light, and made the sun a lamp? |
| 17. * | And Allah has caused you to grow out of the earth as a growth, |
| 18. * | Then He returns you to it, then will He bring you forth a (new) bringing forth. |
| 19. * | And Allah has made the earth a wide expanse for you, |
| 20. * | That you may go along therein in spacious paths. |
| 21. * | Noah said: My Lord, surely they disobey me and follow him whose wealth and children have increased him in naught but loss. |
| 22. * | And they have planned a mighty plan. |
| 23. * | And they say: Forsake not your gods; nor forsake Wadd, nor Suwa’, nor Yaghuth and Ya’uq and Nasr. |
| 24. * | And indeed they have led many astray. And increase Thou the wrongdoers in naught but perdition. |
| 25. * | Because of their wrongs they were drowned, then made to enter Fire, so they found no helpers besides Allah. |
| 26. * | And Noah said: My Lord, leave not of the disbelievers any dweller on the land. |
| 27. * | For if Thou leave them, they will lead astray Thy servants, and will not beget any but immortal, ungrateful ones. |
| 28. * | My Lord, forgive me and my parents and him who enters my house believing, and the believing men and the believing women. And increase not the wrongdoers in aught but destruction! |
