قَالَ وَمَا عِلْمِي بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

Qaala wa maa 'ilmee bimaa kaanoo ya'maloon

He said, "And what is my knowledge of what they used to do?

إِنْ حِسَابُهُمْ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّي ۖ لَوْ تَشْعُرُونَ

In hisaabuhum illaa 'alaa Rabbee law tash'uroon

Their account is only upon my Lord, if you [could] perceive.

وَمَا أَنَا بِطَارِدِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Wa maaa ana bitaaridil mu'mineen

And I am not one to drive away the believers.

إِنْ أَنَا إِلَّا نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ

In ana illaa nazeerum mubeen

I am only a clear warner."

قَالُوا لَئِن لَّمْ تَنتَهِ يَا نُوحُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمَرْجُومِينَ

Qaaloo la'il lam tantahi yaa Noohu latakoonanna minal marjoomeen

They said, "If you do not desist, O Noah, you will surely be of those who are stoned."

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِي كَذَّبُونِ

Qaala Rabbi inna qawmee kazzaboon

He said, "My Lord, indeed my people have denied me.

فَافْتَحْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ فَتْحًا وَنَجِّنِي وَمَن مَّعِيَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Faftab bainee wa bai nahum fat hanw wa najjinee wa mam ma'iya minal mu'mineen

Then judge between me and them with decisive judgement and save me and those with me of the believers."

فَأَنجَيْنَاهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُ فِي الْفُلْكِ الْمَشْحُونِ

Fa anjainaahu wa mamma'ahoo fil fulkil mashhoon

So We saved him and those with him in the laden ship.

ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا بَعْدُ الْبَاقِينَ

Summa aghraqnaa ba'dul baaqeen

Then We drowned thereafter the remaining ones.

Inna fee zaalika la Aayaah; wa maa kaana aksaruhum mu'mineen

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ

Wa inna Rabbaka la huwal 'Azeezur Raheem

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

كَذَّبَتْ عَادٌ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

'Aad denied the messengers

إِذْ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ هُودٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

When their brother Hud said to them, "Will you not fear Allah?

إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ

Innee lakum Rasoolun ameen

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

Fattaqullaaha wa atee'oon

So fear Allah and obey me.

وَمَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

Wa maa as'alukum 'alaihi min ajrin in ajriya illaa 'alaa Rabbil 'aalameen

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds.

أَتَبْنُونَ بِكُلِّ رِيعٍ آيَةً تَعْبَثُونَ

Atabnoona bikulli ree'in aayatan ta'basoon

Do you construct on every elevation a sign, amusing yourselves,

وَتَتَّخِذُونَ مَصَانِعَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَخْلُدُونَ

Wa tattakhizoona masaani'a la'allakum takhludoon

And take for yourselves palaces and fortresses that you might abide eternally?

وَإِذَا بَطَشْتُم بَطَشْتُمْ جَبَّارِينَ

Wa izaa batashtum batashtum jabbaareen

And when you strike, you strike as tyrants.

فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

Fattaqul laaha wa atee'oon

So fear Allah and obey me.

وَاتَّقُوا الَّذِي أَمَدَّكُم بِمَا تَعْلَمُونَ

Wattaqul lazeee amad dakum bimaa ta'lamoon

And fear He who provided you with that which you know,

أَمَدَّكُم بِأَنْعَامٍ وَبَنِينَ

Amaddakum bi an'aa minw wa baneen

Provided you with grazing livestock and children

وَجَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ

Wa jannaatinw wa 'uyoon

And gardens and springs.

إِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ

Innee akhaafu 'alaikum 'azaaba Yawmin 'azeem

Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a terrible day."

قَالُوا سَوَاءٌ عَلَيْنَا أَوَعَظْتَ أَمْ لَمْ تَكُن مِّنَ الْوَاعِظِينَ
