وَ لَاۤ اَقُوْلُ لَكُمْ عِنْدِیْ خَزَآىِٕنُ اللّٰهِ وَ لَاۤ اَعْلَمُ الْغَیْبَ وَ لَاۤ اَقُوْلُ اِنِّیْ مَلَكٌ وَّ لَاۤ اَقُوْلُ لِلَّذِیْنَ تَزْدَرِیْۤ اَعْیُنُكُمْ لَنْ یُّؤْتِیَهُمُ اللّٰهُ خَیْرًا ؕ اَللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِیْۤ اَنْفُسِهِمْ ۖۚ اِنِّیْۤ اِذًا لَّمِنَ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ۝۳۱

I say not that I have the treasures of God, or that I possess the knowledge of the unknown. I do not claim to be an angel, nor can I say that God will not bestow any good on those you disdain, for God is cognisant of what is in their hearts. If I say this, I will surely be unjust."

قَالُوْا یٰنُوْحُ قَدْ جٰدَلْتَنَا فَاَكْثَرْتَ جِدَا لَنَا فَاْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَاۤ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِیْنَ۝۳۲

They said: "O Noah, you have argued with us, and disputed at length; so bring that (retribution) you promise, if you speak the truth."

قَالَ اِنَّمَا یَاْتِیْكُمْ بِهِ اللّٰهُ اِنْ شَآءَ وَ مَاۤ اَنْتُمْ بِمُعْجِزِیْنَ۝۳۳

He replied: "Only God will bring it on you if He please, and you cannot prevail against Him.

وَ لَا یَنْفَعُكُمْ نُصْحِیْۤ اِنْ اَرَدْتُّ اَنْ اَنْصَحَ لَكُمْ اِنْ كَانَ اللّٰهُ یُرِیْدُ اَنْ یُّغْوِیَكُمْ ؕ هُوَ رَبُّكُمْ ۫ وَ اِلَیْهِ تُرْجَعُوْنَؕ۝۳۴

Even if I wish to advise you aright, my counsel will not profit you if God intend that you go astray, for He is your Lord and to Him you will return."

اَمْ یَقُوْلُوْنَ افْتَرٰىهُ ؕ قُلْ اِنِ افْتَرَیْتُهٗ فَعَلَیَّ اِجْرَامِیْ وَ اَنَا بَرِیْٓءٌ مِّمَّا تُجْرِمُوْنَ۠۝۳۵

Do they say you have fabricated it? Tell them: "If I have fabricated it, then mine is the guilt; but I am clear of what you are guilty."

وَ اُوْحِیَ اِلٰی نُوْحٍ اَنَّهٗ لَنْ یُّؤْمِنَ مِنْ قَوْمِكَ اِلَّا مَنْ قَدْ اٰمَنَ فَلَا تَبْتَىِٕسْ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَفْعَلُوْنَۚۖ۝۳۶

And Noah was informed through revelation: "Apart from those who have come to believe already not one of your people is going to believe. So grieve not for what they are doing.

وَ اصْنَعِ الْفُلْكَ بِاَعْیُنِنَا وَ وَحْیِنَا وَ لَا تُخَاطِبْنِیْ فِی الَّذِیْنَ ظَلَمُوْا ۚ اِنَّهُمْ مُّغْرَقُوْنَ۝۳۷

Build an ark under Our eye and as We instruct. Do not plead for those who have been wicked, for they shall certainly be drowned."

وَ یَصْنَعُ الْفُلْكَ ۫ وَ كُلَّمَا مَرَّ عَلَیْهِ مَلَاٌ مِّنْ قَوْمِهٖ سَخِرُوْا مِنْهُ ؕ قَالَ اِنْ تَسْخَرُوْا مِنَّا فَاِنَّا نَسْخَرُ مِنْكُمْ كَمَا تَسْخَرُوْنَؕ۝۳۸

So he built the ark; and when groups of his people passed by him, they scoffed at him. He said to them: "Though you laugh at us (now), we shall laugh at you, as you are laughing at us.

فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُوْنَ ۙ مَنْ یَّاْتِیْهِ عَذَابٌ یُّخْزِیْهِ وَ یَحِلُّ عَلَیْهِ عَذَابٌ مُّقِیْمٌ۝۳۹

You will soon come to know who suffers the punishment that would put him to shame, and who suffers lasting torment."

حَتّٰۤی اِذَا جَآءَ اَمْرُنَا وَ فَارَ التَّنُّوْرُ ۙ قُلْنَا احْمِلْ فِیْهَا مِنْ كُلٍّ زَوْجَیْنِ اثْنَیْنِ وَ اَهْلَكَ اِلَّا مَنْ سَبَقَ عَلَیْهِ الْقَوْلُ وَ مَنْ اٰمَنَ ؕ وَ مَاۤ اٰمَنَ مَعَهٗۤ اِلَّا قَلِیْلٌ۝۴۰

When Our command was issued and the waters gushed forth from the source, We said: "Take into (the ark) a pair of every species, and members of your family other than those against whom the sentence has been passed already, and those who come to believe." But only a few believed in him.
