Surah Nuh

اِنَّآ اَرْسَلْنَا نُوْحًا اِلٰى قَوْمِهٖٓ اَنْ اَنْذِرْ قَوْمَكَ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ يَّأْتِيَهُمْ عَذَابٌ اَلِيْمٌ ۝١

Innā arsalnā nūḥan ilā qoumihī an anżir qoumaka min qobli ay ya'tiyahum ‘ażābun alīm

1. We sent Noah to his people: “Warn your people before there comes upon them a painful punishment.”

قَالَ يٰقَوْمِ اِنِّيْ لَكُمْ نَذِيْرٌ مُّبِيْنٌۙ ۝٢

Qōla yā qoumi innī lakum nażīrum mubīn

2. He said, “O my people, I am to you a clear warner.

اَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ وَاتَّقُوْهُ وَاَطِيْعُوْنِۙ ۝٣

Ani‘budullāha wattaqūhu wa aṭī‘ūn

3. Worship Allah and reverence Him, and obey me.

يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ مِّنْ ذُنُوْبِكُمْ وَيُؤَخِّرْكُمْ اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّىۗ اِنَّ اَجَلَ اللّٰهِ اِذَا جَاۤءَ لَا يُؤَخَّرُۘ لَوْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ ۝٤

Yaghfir lakum min żunūbikum wa yu'akhkhirkum ilā ajalim musammā, inna ajalallāhi iżā jā-a lā yu'akhkhor, lau kuntum ta‘lamūn

4. And He will forgive you of your sins, and reprieve you until a stated term. Allah’s term cannot be deferred once it has arrived, if you only knew.”

قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّيْ دَعَوْتُ قَوْمِيْ لَيْلًا وَّنَهَارًاۙ ۝٥

Qōla robbi innī da‘atu qoumī lailaw wa nahārō

5. He said, “My Lord, I have called my people night and day.

فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُمْ دُعَاۤءِيْٓ اِلَّا فِرَارًا ۝٦

Falam yazid-hum du‘ā-ī illā firōrō

6. But my call added only to their flight.

وَاِنِّيْ كُلَّمَا دَعَوْتُهُمْ لِتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ جَعَلُوْٓا اَصَابِعَهُمْ فِيْٓ اٰذَانِهِمْ وَاسْتَغْشَوْا ثِيَابَهُمْ وَاَصَرُّوْا وَاسْتَكْبَرُوا اسْتِكْبَارًاۚ ۝٧

Wa innī kullamā da‘autuhum litaghfiro lahum ja‘alū aṣōbi‘ahum fī āżānihim wastaghsyau ṡiyābahum wa aṣorrū wastakbarustikbārō

7. Whenever I called them to Your forgiveness, they thrust their fingers into their ears, and wrapped themselves in their garments, and insisted, and became more and more arrogant.

ثُمَّ اِنِّيْ دَعَوْتُهُمْ جِهَارًاۙ ۝٨

Ṡumma innī da‘autuhum jihārō

8. Then I called them openly.

ثُمَّ اِنِّيْٓ اَعْلَنْتُ لَهُمْ وَاَسْرَرْتُ لَهُمْ اِسْرَارًاۙ ۝٩

Ṡumma innī a‘lantu lahum wa asrortu lahum isrōrō

9. Then I appealed to them publicly, and I spoke to them privately.

فَقُلْتُ اسْتَغْفِرُوْا رَبَّكُمْ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ غَفَّارًاۙ ۝١٠

Faqultustaghfirū robbakum innahū kāna ghoffārō

10. I said, ‘Ask your Lord for forgiveness; He is Forgiving.

يُّرْسِلِ السَّمَاۤءَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِّدْرَارًاۙ ۝١١

Yursilis-samā-a ‘alaikum midrōrō

11. He will let loose the sky upon you in torrents.

وَّيُمْدِدْكُمْ بِاَمْوَالٍ وَّبَنِيْنَ وَيَجْعَلْ لَّكُمْ جَنّٰتٍ وَّيَجْعَلْ لَّكُمْ اَنْهٰرًاۗ ۝١٢

Wa yumdidkum bi'amwāliw wa banīna wa yaj‘al lakum jannātiw wa yaj‘al lakum anhārō

12. And provide you with wealth and children, and allot for you gardens, and allot for you rivers.

مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَرْجُوْنَ لِلّٰهِ وَقَارًاۚ ۝١٣

Mā lakum lā tarjūna lillāhi waqōrō

13. What is the matter with you, that you do not appreciate Allah’s greatness?

وَقَدْ خَلَقَكُمْ اَطْوَارًا ۝١٤

Wa qod kholaqokum aṭwārō

14. Although He created you in stages.

اَلَمْ تَرَوْا كَيْفَ خَلَقَ اللّٰهُ سَبْعَ سَمٰوٰتٍ طِبَاقًاۙ ۝١٥

Alam taro kaifa kholaqollāhu sab‘a samāwātin ṭibāqō

15. Do you not realize that Allah created seven heavens in layers?

وَّجَعَلَ الْقَمَرَ فِيْهِنَّ نُوْرًا وَّجَعَلَ الشَّمْسَ سِرَاجًا ۝١٦

Wa ja‘alal-qomaro fīhinna nūrow wa ja‘alasy-syamsa sirōjā

16. And He set the moon in their midst for light, and He made the sun a lamp.

وَاللّٰهُ اَنْۢبَتَكُمْ مِّنَ الْاَرْضِ نَبَاتًاۙ ۝١٧

Wallāhu ambatakum minal-arḍi nabātā

17. And Allah germinated you from the earth like plants.

ثُمَّ يُعِيْدُكُمْ فِيْهَا وَيُخْرِجُكُمْ اِخْرَاجًا ۝١٨

Ṡumma yu‘īdukum fīhā wa yukhrijukum ikhrōjā

18. Then He will return you into it, and will bring you out again.

وَاللّٰهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْاَرْضَ بِسَاطًاۙ ۝١٩

Wallāhu ja‘ala lakumul-arḍo bisāṭō

19. And Allah made the earth a spread for you.

لِّتَسْلُكُوْا مِنْهَا سُبُلًا فِجَاجًا ࣖ ۝٢٠

Litaslukū minhā subulan fijājā

20. That you may travel its diverse roads.’”

قَالَ نُوْحٌ رَّبِّ اِنَّهُمْ عَصَوْنِيْ وَاتَّبَعُوْا مَنْ لَّمْ يَزِدْهُ مَالُهٗ وَوَلَدُهٗٓ اِلَّا خَسَارًاۚ ۝٢١

Qōla nūḥur robbi innahum ‘aṣounī wattaba‘ū mal lam yazid-hu māluhū wa waladuhū illā khosārō

21. Noah said, “My Lord, they have defied me, and followed him whose wealth and children increase him only in perdition.”

وَمَكَرُوْا مَكْرًا كُبَّارًاۚ ۝٢٢

Wa makarū makron kubbārō

22. And they schemed outrageous schemes.

وَقَالُوْا لَا تَذَرُنَّ اٰلِهَتَكُمْ وَلَا تَذَرُنَّ وَدًّا وَّلَا سُوَاعًا ەۙ وَّلَا يَغُوْثَ وَيَعُوْقَ وَنَسْرًاۚ ۝٢٣

Wa qōlū lā tażarunna ālihatakum wa lā tażarunna waddaw wa lā suwā‘ā, wa lā yaghūṡa wa ya‘ūqo wa nasrō

23. And they said, “Do not give up your gods; do not give up Wadd, nor Souwa, nor Yaghoos, and Yaooq, and Nassr.”

وَقَدْ اَضَلُّوْا كَثِيْرًا ەۚ وَلَا تَزِدِ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ اِلَّا ضَلٰلًا ۝٢٤

Wa qod aḍollū kaṡīrō, wa lā tazidiẓ-ẓōlimīna illā ḍolālā

24. They have misled many, so do not increase the wrongdoers except in confusion.

مِمَّا خَطِيْۤـٰٔتِهِمْ اُغْرِقُوْا فَاُدْخِلُوْا نَارًا ەۙ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوْا لَهُمْ مِّنْ دُوْنِ اللّٰهِ اَنْصَارًا ۝٢٥

Mimmā khoṭī-ātihim ughriqū fa'udkhilū nārō, falam yajidū lahum min dūnillāhi anṣōrō

25. Because of their wrongs, they were drowned, and were hurled into a Fire. They did not find apart from Allah any helpers.

وَقَالَ نُوْحٌ رَّبِّ لَا تَذَرْ عَلَى الْاَرْضِ مِنَ الْكٰفِرِيْنَ دَيَّارًا ۝٢٦

Wa qōla nūḥur robbi lā tażar ‘alal-arḍi minal-kāfirīna dayyārō

26. Noah said, “My Lord, do not leave of the unbelievers a single dweller on earth.

اِنَّكَ اِنْ تَذَرْهُمْ يُضِلُّوْا عِبَادَكَ وَلَا يَلِدُوْٓا اِلَّا فَاجِرًا كَفَّارًا ۝٢٧

Innaka in tażarhum yuḍillū ‘ibādaka wa lā yalidū illā fājiron kaffārō

27. If You leave them, they will mislead Your servants, and will breed only wicked unbelievers.

رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِيْ وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَلِمَنْ دَخَلَ بَيْتِيَ مُؤْمِنًا وَّلِلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَالْمُؤْمِنٰتِۗ وَلَا تَزِدِ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ اِلَّا تَبَارًا ࣖ ۝٢٨

Robbighfir lī wa liwālidayya wa liman dakhola baitiya mu'minaw wa lil-mu'minīna wal-mu'mināt, wa lā tazidiẓ-ẓōlimīna illā tabārō

28. My Lord! Forgive me and my parents, and anyone who enters my home in faith, and all the believing men and believing women; and do not increase the wrongdoers except in perdition.”
