إِنَّآ
Indeed, We
أَرْسَلْنَا
[We] sent
نُوحًا
Nuh
إِلَىٰ
to
قَوْمِهِۦٓ
his people
أَنْ
that
أَنذِرْ
"Warn
قَوْمَكَ
your people
مِن
from
قَبْلِ
before
أَن
[that]
يَأْتِيَهُمْ
comes to them
عَذَابٌ
a punishment
أَلِيمٌ
painful"
(2)
قَالَ
He said
يَٰقَوْمِ
"O my people!
إِنِّى
Indeed I am
لَكُمْ
to you
نَذِيرٌ
a warner
مُّبِينٌ
clear
(3)
أَنِ
That
ٱعْبُدُوا۟
Worship
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
وَٱتَّقُوهُ
and fear Him
وَأَطِيعُونِ
and obey me
(4)
يَغْفِرْ
He will forgive
لَكُم
for you
مِّن
[of]
ذُنُوبِكُمْ
your sins
وَيُؤَخِّرْكُمْ
and give you respite
إِلَىٰٓ
for
أَجَلٍ
a term
مُّسَمًّى
specified
إِنَّ
Indeed
أَجَلَ
(the) term
ٱللَّهِ
(of) Allah
إِذَا
when
جَآءَ
it comes
لَا
not
يُؤَخَّرُ
is delayed
لَوْ
if
كُنتُمْ
you
تَعْلَمُونَ
know"
(5)
قَالَ
He said
رَبِّ
"My Lord!
إِنِّى
Indeed I
دَعَوْتُ
invited
قَوْمِى
my people
لَيْلًا
night
وَنَهَارًا
and day
(6)
فَلَمْ
But not
يَزِدْهُمْ
increased them
دُعَآءِىٓ
my invitation
إِلَّا
except
فِرَارًا
(in) flight
(7)
وَإِنِّى
And indeed I
كُلَّمَا
every time
دَعَوْتُهُمْ
I invited them
لِتَغْفِرَ
that You may forgive
لَهُمْ
them
جَعَلُوٓا۟
they put
أَصَٰبِعَهُمْ
their fingers
فِىٓ
in
ءَاذَانِهِمْ
their ears
وَٱسْتَغْشَوْا۟
and covered themselves
ثِيَابَهُمْ
(with) their garments
وَأَصَرُّوا۟
and persisted
وَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟
and were arrogant
ٱسْتِكْبَارًا
(with) pride
(8)
ثُمَّ
Then
إِنِّى
indeed I
دَعَوْتُهُمْ
invited them
جِهَارًا
publicly
(9)
ثُمَّ
Then
إِنِّىٓ
indeed I
أَعْلَنتُ
announced
لَهُمْ
to them
وَأَسْرَرْتُ
and I confided
لَهُمْ
to them
إِسْرَارًا
secretly
(10)
فَقُلْتُ
Then I said
ٱسْتَغْفِرُوا۟
"Ask forgiveness
رَبَّكُمْ
(from) your Lord
إِنَّهُۥ
Indeed He
كَانَ
is
غَفَّارًا
Oft-Forgiving
(11)
يُرْسِلِ
He will send down
ٱلسَّمَآءَ
(rain from) the sky
عَلَيْكُم
upon you
مِّدْرَارًا
(in) abundance
(12)
وَيُمْدِدْكُم
And provide you
بِأَمْوَٰلٍ
with wealth
وَبَنِينَ
and children
وَيَجْعَل
and make
لَّكُمْ
for you
جَنَّٰتٍ
gardens
وَيَجْعَل
and make
لَّكُمْ
for you
أَنْهَٰرًا
rivers
(13)
مَّا
What
لَكُمْ
(is) for you
لَا
not
تَرْجُونَ
you attribute
لِلَّهِ
to Allah
وَقَارًا
grandeur?
(14)
وَقَدْ
And indeed
خَلَقَكُمْ
He created you
أَطْوَارًا
(in) stages
(15)
أَلَمْ
Do not
تَرَوْا۟
you see
كَيْفَ
how
خَلَقَ
did create
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
سَبْعَ
(the) seven
سَمَٰوَٰتٍ
heavens
طِبَاقًا
(in) layers
(16)
وَجَعَلَ
And made
ٱلْقَمَرَ
the moon
فِيهِنَّ
therein
نُورًا
a light
وَجَعَلَ
and made
ٱلشَّمْسَ
the sun
سِرَاجًا
a lamp?
(17)
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
أَنۢبَتَكُم
has caused you to grow
مِّنَ
from
ٱلْأَرْضِ
the earth
نَبَاتًا
(as) a growth
(18)
ثُمَّ
Then
يُعِيدُكُمْ
He will return you
فِيهَا
into it
وَيُخْرِجُكُمْ
and bring you forth
إِخْرَاجًا
(a new) bringing forth
(19)
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
جَعَلَ
made
لَكُمُ
for you
ٱلْأَرْضَ
the earth
بِسَاطًا
an expanse
(20)
لِّتَسْلُكُوا۟
That you may go along
مِنْهَا
therein
سُبُلًا
(in) paths
فِجَاجًا
wide"
