وَلَقَدۡ walaqad And verily أَرۡسَلۡنَا arsalnā We sent نُوحًا nūḥan Nuh إِلَىٰ ilā to قَوۡمِهِۦ qawmihi his people فَقَالَ faqāla and he said يَٰقَوۡمِ yāqawmi O my people ٱعۡبُدُواْ uʿ'budū Worship ٱللَّهَ l-laha Allah مَا mā not لَكُم lakum for you مِّنۡ min (is) any إِلَٰهٍ ilāhin god غَيۡرُهُۥٓۚ ghayruhu other than Him أَفَلَا afalā Then will not تَتَّقُونَ tattaqūna you fear
walaqad arsalnā nūḥan ilā qawmihi faqāla yāqawmi uʿ'budū l-laha mā lakum min ilāhin ghayruhu afalā tattaqūna
Indeed, We sent Noah to his people. He declared, “O my people! Worship Allah ˹alone˺. You have no god other than Him. Will you not then fear ˹Him˺?”
فَقَالَ faqāla But said ٱلۡمَلَؤُاْ l-mala-u the chiefs ٱلَّذِينَ alladhīna (of) those who كَفَرُواْ kafarū disbelieved مِن min among قَوۡمِهِۦ qawmihi his people مَا mā This is not هَٰذَآ hādhā This is not إِلَّا illā but بَشَرٞ basharun a man مِّثۡلُكُمۡ mith'lukum like you يُرِيدُ yurīdu he wishes أَن an to يَتَفَضَّلَ yatafaḍḍala assert (his) superiority عَلَيۡكُمۡ ʿalaykum over you وَلَوۡ walaw and if شَآءَ shāa Allah had willed ٱللَّهُ l-lahu Allah had willed لَأَنزَلَ la-anzala surely He (would have) sent down مَلَٰٓئِكَةٗ malāikatan Angels مَّا mā Not سَمِعۡنَا samiʿ'nā we heard بِهَٰذَا bihādhā of this فِيٓ fī from ءَابَآئِنَا ābāinā our forefathers ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ l-awalīna our forefathers

But the disbelieving chiefs of his people said ˹to the masses˺, “This is only a human like you, who wants to be superior to you. Had Allah willed, He could have easily sent down angels ˹instead˺. We have never heard of this in ˹the history of˺ our forefathers.
إِنۡ in Not هُوَ huwa he إِلَّا illā (is) but رَجُلُۢ rajulun a man بِهِۦ bihi in him جِنَّةٞ jinnatun (is) madness فَتَرَبَّصُواْ fatarabbaṣū so wait بِهِۦ bihi concerning him حَتَّىٰ ḥattā until حِينٖ ḥīnin a time

He is simply insane, so bear with him for a while.”
قَالَ qāla He said رَبِّ rabbi My Lord ٱنصُرۡنِي unṣur'nī Help me بِمَا bimā because كَذَّبُونِ kadhabūni they deny me
qāla rabbi unṣur'nī bimā kadhabūni
Noah prayed, “My Lord! Help me, because they have denied ˹me˺.”
فَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ fa-awḥaynā So We inspired إِلَيۡهِ ilayhi to him أَنِ ani That ٱصۡنَعِ iṣ'naʿi construct ٱلۡفُلۡكَ l-ful'ka the ship بِأَعۡيُنِنَا bi-aʿyuninā under Our eyes وَوَحۡيِنَا wawaḥyinā and Our inspiration فَإِذَا fa-idhā then when جَآءَ jāa comes أَمۡرُنَا amrunā Our Command وَفَارَ wafāra and gushes forth ٱلتَّنُّورُ l-tanūru the oven فَٱسۡلُكۡ fa-us'luk then put فِيهَا fīhā into it مِن min of كُلّٖ kullin every (kind) زَوۡجَيۡنِ zawjayni (of) mates ٱثۡنَيۡنِ ith'nayni two وَأَهۡلَكَ wa-ahlaka and your family إِلَّا illā except مَن man those سَبَقَ sabaqa (has) preceded عَلَيۡهِ ʿalayhi against whom ٱلۡقَوۡلُ l-qawlu the Word مِنۡهُمۡۖ min'hum thereof وَلَا walā And (do) not تُخَٰطِبۡنِي tukhāṭib'nī address Me فِي fī concerning ٱلَّذِينَ alladhīna those who ظَلَمُوٓاْ ẓalamū wronged إِنَّهُم innahum indeed, they مُّغۡرَقُونَ mugh'raqūna (are) the ones to be drowned

So We inspired him: “Build the Ark under Our ˹watchful˺ Eyes and directions. Then when Our command comes and the oven bursts ˹with water˺, take on board a pair from every species along with your family—except those against whom the decree ˹to drown˺ has already been passed. And do not plead with Me for those who have done wrong, for they will surely be drowned.”
فَإِذَا fa-idhā And when ٱسۡتَوَيۡتَ is'tawayta you (have) boarded أَنتَ anta you وَمَن waman and whoever مَّعَكَ maʿaka (is) with you عَلَى ʿalā [on] ٱلۡفُلۡكِ l-ful'ki the ship فَقُلِ faquli then say ٱلۡحَمۡدُ l-ḥamdu Praise لِلَّهِ lillahi (be) to Allah ٱلَّذِي alladhī Who نَجَّىٰنَا najjānā (has) saved us مِنَ mina from ٱلۡقَوۡمِ l-qawmi the people ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ l-ẓālimīna the wrongdoers
fa-idhā is'tawayta anta waman maʿaka ʿalā l-ful'ki faquli l-ḥamdu lillahi alladhī najjānā mina l-qawmi l-ẓālimīna
Then when you and those with you have settled in the Ark, say, “All praise is for Allah, Who saved us from the wrongdoing people.”
وَقُل waqul And say رَّبِّ rabbi My Lord أَنزِلۡنِي anzil'nī cause me to land مُنزَلٗا munzalan (at) a landing place مُّبَارَكٗا mubārakan blessed وَأَنتَ wa-anta and You خَيۡرُ khayru (are) the Best ٱلۡمُنزِلِينَ l-munzilīna (of) those who cause to land.'
waqul rabbi anzil'nī munzalan mubārakan wa-anta khayru l-munzilīna
And pray, “My Lord! Allow me a blessed landing, for You are the best accommodator.”
إِنَّ inna Indeed فِي fī in ذَٰلِكَ dhālika that لَأٓيَٰتٖ laāyātin surely (are) Signs وَإِن wa-in and indeed كُنَّا kunnā We are لَمُبۡتَلِينَ lamub'talīna surely testing
