وَ اِنَّ لَكُمْ فِی الْاَنْعَامِ لَعِبْرَةً ؕ نُسْقِیْكُمْ مِّمَّا فِیْ بُطُوْنِهَا وَ لَكُمْ فِیْهَا مَنَافِعُ كَثِیْرَةٌ وَّ مِنْهَا تَاْكُلُوْنَۙ۝۲۱

There are lessons for you in the cattle from whose bellies We give you milk to drink, and there are other advantages that you derive from them, and some of them you eat;

وَ عَلَیْهَا وَ عَلَی الْفُلْكِ تُحْمَلُوْنَ۠۝۲۲

And you are carried on them and on boats.

وَ لَقَدْ اَرْسَلْنَا نُوْحًا اِلٰی قَوْمِهٖ فَقَالَ یٰقَوْمِ اعْبُدُوا اللّٰهَ مَا لَكُمْ مِّنْ اِلٰهٍ غَیْرُهٗ ؕ اَفَلَا تَتَّقُوْنَ۝۲۳

We sent Noah to his people. He said: "O my people, worship God, for you have no other god but He. Will you not take heed for yourselves?"

فَقَالَ الْمَلَؤُا الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ قَوْمِهٖ مَا هٰذَاۤ اِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ ۙ یُرِیْدُ اَنْ یَّتَفَضَّلَ عَلَیْكُمْ ؕ وَ لَوْ شَآءَ اللّٰهُ لَاَنْزَلَ مَلٰٓىِٕكَةً ۖۚ مَّا سَمِعْنَا بِهٰذَا فِیْۤ اٰبَآىِٕنَا الْاَوَّلِیْنَۚ۝۲۴

The chiefs of his people, who did not believe, said: "He is only a man like you. He wishes to acquire ascendancy over you. If God had willed He would have sent down angels. We never heard this from our elders.

اِنْ هُوَ اِلَّا رَجُلٌۢ بِهٖ جِنَّةٌ فَتَرَبَّصُوْا بِهٖ حَتّٰی حِیْنٍ۝۲۵

He is only a man possessed; so wait and watch him for a time."

قَالَ رَبِّ انْصُرْنِیْ بِمَا كَذَّبُوْنِ۝۲۶

"O my Lord," prayed (Noah), "help me against them, for they accuse me of lies."

فَاَوْحَیْنَاۤ اِلَیْهِ اَنِ اصْنَعِ الْفُلْكَ بِاَعْیُنِنَا وَ وَحْیِنَا فَاِذَا جَآءَ اَمْرُنَا وَ فَارَ التَّنُّوْرُ ۙ فَاسْلُكْ فِیْهَا مِنْ كُلٍّ زَوْجَیْنِ اثْنَیْنِ وَ اَهْلَكَ اِلَّا مَنْ سَبَقَ عَلَیْهِ الْقَوْلُ مِنْهُمْ ۚ وَ لَا تُخَاطِبْنِیْ فِی الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوْا ۚ اِنَّهُمْ مُّغْرَقُوْنَ۝۲۷

So We asked him to build the ark under Our eyes and guidance, (and said): "When Our command is issued and the source of water boils over, put a pair of every species in it, and your family except those for whom Our sentence has been passed already; and do not speak to Me for those who are wicked: They will be drowned.

فَاِذَا اسْتَوَیْتَ اَنْتَ وَ مَنْ مَّعَكَ عَلَی الْفُلْكِ فَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِیْ نَجّٰىنَا مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ۝۲۸

When you and those with you have boarded the ark, say: ´All praise be to God who has delivered us from the people who were sinful.´

وَ قُلْ رَّبِّ اَنْزِلْنِیْ مُنْزَلًا مُّبٰرَكًا وَّ اَنْتَ خَیْرُ الْمُنْزِلِیْنَ۝۲۹

And say: ´O Lord, disembark me in a welcome place; You are the best of deliverers.´

اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیٰتٍ وَّ اِنْ كُنَّا لَمُبْتَلِیْنَ۝۳۰

There were surely signs in this; We will surely put you to the test.
