A translation is its translator's understanding of the Quran, not the Quran itself. Our method
إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦٓ أَنْ أَنذِرْ قَوْمَكَ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ﴿١﴾
71:1 We sent Noah To his People (With the Command): "Do thou warn thy People Before there comes to them A grievous Penalty."
قَالَ يَـٰقَوْمِ إِنِّى لَكُمْ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ ﴿٢﴾
71:2 He said: "O my People! I am to you A Warner, clear and open:
أَنِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱتَّقُوهُ وَأَطِيعُونِ ﴿٣﴾
71:3 "That ye should worship God, fear Him, And obey me:
يَغْفِرْ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُؤَخِّرْكُمْ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۚ إِنَّ أَجَلَ ٱللَّهِ إِذَا جَآءَ لَا يُؤَخَّرُ ۖ لَوْ كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿٤﴾
71:4 "So He may forgive you Your sins and give you Respite for a stated Term: For when the Term given By God is accomplished, It cannot be put forward: If ye only knew."
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّى دَعَوْتُ قَوْمِى لَيْلًا وَنَهَارًا ﴿٥﴾
71:5 He, said: "O my Lord! I have called to my People Night and day:
فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُمْ دُعَآءِىٓ إِلَّا فِرَارًا ﴿٦﴾
71:6 "But my call only Increases (their) flight (From the Right).
وَإِنِّى كُلَّمَا دَعَوْتُهُمْ لِتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ جَعَلُوٓا۟ أَصَـٰبِعَهُمْ فِىٓ ءَاذَانِهِمْ وَٱسْتَغْشَوْا۟ ثِيَابَهُمْ وَأَصَرُّوا۟ وَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ ٱسْتِكْبَارًا ﴿٧﴾
71:7 "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.
ثُمَّ إِنِّى دَعَوْتُهُمْ جِهَارًا ﴿٨﴾
71:8 "So I have called to them Aloud;
ثُمَّ إِنِّىٓ أَعْلَنتُ لَهُمْ وَأَسْرَرْتُ لَهُمْ إِسْرَارًا ﴿٩﴾
71:9 "Further I have spoken To them in public And secretly in private,
فَقُلْتُ ٱسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ غَفَّارًا ﴿١٠﴾
71:10 "Saying, "Ask forgiveness From your Lord; For He is Oft-Forgiving;
يُرْسِلِ ٱلسَّمَآءَ عَلَيْكُم مِّدْرَارًا ﴿١١﴾
71:11 "He will send rain To you in abundance;
وَيُمْدِدْكُم بِأَمْوَٰلٍ وَبَنِينَ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ جَنَّـٰتٍ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ أَنْهَـٰرًا ﴿١٢﴾
71:12 Give you increase In wealth and sons; And bestow on you Gardens and bestow on you Rivers (of flowing water).
مَّا لَكُمْ لَا تَرْجُونَ لِلَّهِ وَقَارًا ﴿١٣﴾
71:13 "What is the matter With you, that ye Place not your hope For kindness and long-suffering In God,—
وَقَدْ خَلَقَكُمْ أَطْوَارًا ﴿١٤﴾
71:14 "Seeing that it is He That has created you In diverse stages?
أَلَمْ تَرَوْا۟ كَيْفَ خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ سَبْعَ سَمَـٰوَٰتٍ طِبَاقًا ﴿١٥﴾
71:15 "See ye not How God has created The seven heavens One above another,
وَجَعَلَ ٱلْقَمَرَ فِيهِنَّ نُورًا وَجَعَلَ ٱلشَّمْسَ سِرَاجًا ﴿١٦﴾
71:16 "And made the moon A light in their midst, And made the sun As a (Glorious) Lamp?
وَٱللَّهُ أَنۢبَتَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ نَبَاتًا ﴿١٧﴾
71:17 "And God has produced You from the earth, Growing (gradually),
ثُمَّ يُعِيدُكُمْ فِيهَا وَيُخْرِجُكُمْ إِخْرَاجًا ﴿١٨﴾
71:18 "And in the End He will return you Into the (earth), And raise you forth (Again at the Resurrection)?
وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ بِسَاطًا ﴿١٩﴾
71:19 "And God has made The earth for you As a carpet (spread out),
لِّتَسْلُكُوا۟ مِنْهَا سُبُلًا فِجَاجًا ﴿٢٠﴾
71:20 "That ye may go about Therein, in spacious roads."
قَالَ نُوحٌ رَّبِّ إِنَّهُمْ عَصَوْنِى وَٱتَّبَعُوا۟ مَن لَّمْ يَزِدْهُ مَالُهُۥ وَوَلَدُهُۥٓ إِلَّا خَسَارًا ﴿٢١﴾
71:21 Noah said: "O my Lord! They have disobeyed me, But they follow (men) Whose wealth and children Give them no Increase But only Loss.
وَمَكَرُوا۟ مَكْرًا كُبَّارًا ﴿٢٢﴾
71:22 "And they have devised A tremendous Plot.
وَقَالُوا۟ لَا تَذَرُنَّ ءَالِهَتَكُمْ وَلَا تَذَرُنَّ وَدًّا وَلَا سُوَاعًا وَلَا يَغُوثَ وَيَعُوقَ وَنَسْرًا ﴿٢٣﴾
71:23 "And they have said (To each other), "Abandon not your gods: Abandon neither Wadd Nor Suwā‘, neither Yagūth nor Ya‘ūq, Nor Nasr’;—
وَقَدْ أَضَلُّوا۟ كَثِيرًا ۖ وَلَا تَزِدِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ إِلَّا ضَلَـٰلًا ﴿٢٤﴾
71:24 "They have already Misled many; and Grant Thou no increase To the wrong-doers but in Straying (from their mark)."
مِّمَّا خَطِيٓـَٔـٰتِهِمْ أُغْرِقُوا۟ فَأُدْخِلُوا۟ نَارًا فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا۟ لَهُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَنصَارًا ﴿٢٥﴾
71:25 Because of their sins They were drowned (In the flood), And were made to enter The Fire (of Punishment): And they found In lieu of God None to help them.
وَقَالَ نُوحٌ رَّبِّ لَا تَذَرْ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ دَيَّارًا ﴿٢٦﴾
71:26 And Noah said: "O my Lord! Leave not Of the Unbelievers, A single one on earth!
إِنَّكَ إِن تَذَرْهُمْ يُضِلُّوا۟ عِبَادَكَ وَلَا يَلِدُوٓا۟ إِلَّا فَاجِرًا كَفَّارًا ﴿٢٧﴾
71:27 "For, if Thou dost leave (Any of) them, they will But mislead Thy devotees, And they will breed none But wicked ungrateful ones.
رَّبِّ ٱغْفِرْ لِى وَلِوَٰلِدَىَّ وَلِمَن دَخَلَ بَيْتِىَ مُؤْمِنًا وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَـٰتِ وَلَا تَزِدِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ إِلَّا تَبَارًۢا ﴿٢٨﴾
71:28 "O my Lord! Forgive me, My parents, all who Enter my house in Faith, And (all) believing men And believing women: And to the wrong-doers Grant Thou no increase But in Perdition!"
