Walaqad arsalna noohan ila qawmihi innee lakum natheerun mubeenun\n25. We sent Noah to his People\n (With a mission): \"I have come\n To you with a Clear Warning:\n26. An la taAAbudoo illa Allaha innee akhafu AAalaykum AAathaba yawmin aleemin\n26. \"That ye serve none but God:\n Verily I do fear for you\nThe Penalty of a Grievous Day.\"\n27. Faqala almalao allatheena kafaroo min qawmihi ma naraka illa basharan mithlana wama naraka ittabaAAaka illa allatheena hum arathiluna badiya alrra/yi wama nara lakum AAalayna min fadlin bal nathunnukum kathibeena\n27. But the Chiefs of the Unbelievers\n Among his People said:\n \"We see (in) thee nothing\n But a man like ourselves:\n Nor do we see that any\n Follow thee but the meanest\n Among us, in judgment immature:\n Nor do we see in you (all)\n Any merit above us:\n In fact we think ye are liars!\"\n28. Qala ya qawmi araaytum in kuntu AAala bayyinatin min rabbee waatanee rahmatan min AAindihi faAAummiyat AAalaykum anulzimukumooha waantum laha karihoona\n28. He said: \"O my People!\n See ye if (it be that)\n I have a Clear Sign\n From my Lord, and that He\n Hath sent Mercy unto me\n From His own Presence, but\n That the Mercy hath been\n Obscured from your sight?\n Shall we compel you\n To accept it when ye\n Are averse to it?\n29. Waya qawmi la as-alukum AAalayhi malan in ajriya illa AAala Allahi wama ana bitaridi allatheena amanoo innahum mulaqoo rabbihim walakinnee arakum qawman tajhaloona\n29. \"And O my People!\n I ask you for no wealth\nIn return: my reward\n Is from none but God:\n But I will not drive away\n (In contempt) those who believe:\n For verily they are\n To meet their Lord, and ye\n I see are the ignorant ones!\n30. Waya qawmi man yansurunee mina Allahi in taradtuhum afala tathakkaroona\n30. \"And O my People!\n Who would help me against God\n If I drove them away?\n Will ye not then take heed?\n31. Wala aqoolu lakum AAindee khaza-inu Allahi wala aAAlamu alghayba wala aqoolu innee malakun wala aqoolu lillatheena tazdaree aAAyunukum lan yu/tiyahumu Allahu khayran Allahu aAAlamu bima fee anfusihim innee ithan lamina alththalimeena\n31. \"I tell you not that\n With me are the Treasures\n Of God, nor do I know\n What is hidden,\n Nor claim I to be\n An angel. Nor yet\n Do I say, of those whom\n Your eyes do despise\n That God will not grant them\n (All) that is good:\n God knoweth best\n What is in their souls:\n I should, if I did,\n Indeed be a wrong-doer.\"\n32. Qaloo ya noohu qad jadaltana faaktharta jidalana fa/tina bima taAAiduna in kunta mina alssadiqeena\n32. They said: \"O Noah!\n Thou hast disputed with us,\nAnd (much) hast thou prolonged\n The dispute with us: now\n Bring upon us what thou\n Threatenest us with, if thou\n Speakest the truth!?\"\n33. Qala innama ya/teekum bihi Allahu in shaa wama antum bimuAAjizeena\n33. He said: \"Truly, God\n Will bring it on you\n If He wills,\u2014and then,\n Ye will not be able\n To frustrate it!\n34. Wala yanfaAAukum nushee in aradtu an ansaha lakum in kana Allahu yureedu an yughwiyakum huwa rabbukum wa-ilayhi turjaAAoona\n34. \"Of no profit will be\n My counsel to you,\n Much as I desire\n To give you (good) counsel,\n If it be that God\n Willeth to leave you astray:\n He is your Lord!\n And to Him will ye return!\"\n35. Am yaqooloona iftarahu qul ini iftaraytuhu faAAalayya ijramee waana baree-on mimma tujrimoona\n35. Or do they say,\n \"He has forged it \"? Say:\n \"If I had forged it,\n On me were my sin!\n And I am free\n Of the sins of which\n Ye are guilty!","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XI.: H\u016bd (The Prophet H\u016bd)...","type":"page"}
