Ayah |
|---|
1 إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحاً إِلَى قَوْمِهِ أَنْ أَنذِرْ قَوْمَكَ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَهُمْ
عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ We sent Noah to his People (with the Command): "Do thou warn thy People before there comes to them a grievous Penalty." |
2 قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ إِنِّي لَكُمْ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ He said: "O my People! I am to you a Warner, clear and open: |
3 أَنِ اعْبُدُوا
اللَّهَ وَاتَّقُوهُ وَأَطِيعُونِ "That ye should worship Allah, fear Him and obey me: |
4 يَغْفِرْ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُؤَخِّرْكُمْ
إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى إِنَّ أَجَلَ اللَّهِ إِذَا جَاء لَا يُؤَخَّرُ لَوْ كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ
"So He may forgive you your sins and give you respite for a stated Term: for when the Term given by Allah is accomplished, it cannot be put forward: if ye only knew." |
5 قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي دَعَوْتُ قَوْمِي لَيْلاً وَنَهَاراً He said: "O my Lord! I have called to my People night and day: |
6 فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُمْ دُعَائِي إِلَّا
فِرَاراً "But my call only increases (their) flight (from the Right). |
7 وَإِنِّي كُلَّمَا دَعَوْتُهُمْ لِتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ جَعَلُوا أَصَابِعَهُمْ
فِي آذَانِهِمْ وَاسْتَغْشَوْا ثِيَابَهُمْ وَأَصَرُّوا وَاسْتَكْبَرُوا اسْتِكْبَاراً
"And every time I have called to them, that Thou mightest forgive them, they have (only) thrust their fingers into their ears, covered themselves up with their garments, grown obstinate, and given themselves up to arrogance. |
8 ثُمَّ إِنِّي دَعَوْتُهُمْ جِهَاراً "So I have called to them aloud; |
9 ثُمَّ إِنِّي أَعْلَنتُ لَهُمْ وَأَسْرَرْتُ
لَهُمْ إِسْرَاراً "Further I have spoken to them in public and secretly in private, |
10 فَقُلْتُ اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ غَفَّاراً "Saying, 'Ask forgiveness from your Lord; for He is Oft-Forgiving; |
