71:1  We sent Noah to his people: 'Warn your people before there comes upon them a painful punishment.'
71:2  He said, 'O my people, I am to you a clear warner
71:3  Worship God and reverence Him, and obey me
71:4  And He will forgive you of your sins, and reprieve you until a stated term. God's term cannot be deferred once it has arrived, if you only knew.'
71:5  He said, 'My Lord, I have called my people night and day
71:6  But my call added only to their flight
71:7  Whenever I called them to Your forgiveness, they thrust their fingers into their ears, and wrapped themselves in their garments, and insisted, and became more and more arrogant
71:8  Then I called them openly
71:9  Then I appealed to them publicly, and I spoke to them privately.
71:10  I said, 'Ask your Lord for forgiveness; He is Forgiving
71:11  He will let loose the sky upon you in torrents
71:12  And provide you with wealth and children, and allot for you gardens, and allot for you rivers
71:13  What is the matter with you, that you do not appreciate God's Greatness
71:14  Although He created you in stages
71:15  Do you not realize that God created seven heavens in layers
71:16  And He set the moon in their midst for light, and He made the sun a lamp
71:17  And God germinated you from the earth like plants
71:18  Then He will return you into it, and will bring you out again
71:19  And God made the earth a spread for you
71:20  That you may travel its diverse roads.''
71:21  Noah said, 'My Lord, they have defied me, and followed him whose wealth and children increase him only in perdition.'
71:22  And they schemed outrageous schemes
71:23  And they said, 'Do not give up your gods; do not give up Wadd, nor Souwa, nor Yaghoos, and Yaooq, and Nassr
71:24  They have misled many, so do not increase the wrongdoers except in confusion.'
71:25  Because of their wrongs, they were drowned, and were hurled into a Fire. They did not find apart from God any helpers
71:26  Noah said, 'My Lord, do not leave of the unbelievers a single dweller on earth
71:27  If You leave them, they will mislead your servants, and will breed only wicked unbelievers
71:28  My Lord! Forgive me and my parents, and anyone who enters my home in faith, and all the believing men and believing women; and do not increase the wrongdoers except in perdition.'
