وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٖ 101

And not a devoted friend

فَلَوۡ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةٗ فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ 102

Then if we only had a return [to the world] and could be of the believers

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ 103

Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ 104

And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful

كَذَّبَتۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحٍ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ 105

The people of Noah denied the messengers

إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ أَخُوهُمۡ نُوحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ 106

When their brother Noah said to them, "Will you not fear Allah

إِنِّي لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٞ 107

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger

فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ 108

So fear Allah and obey me

وَمَآ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ 109

And I do not ask you for it any payment. My payment is only from the Lord of the worlds

فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ 110

So fear Allah and obey me

قَالُوٓاْ أَنُؤۡمِنُ لَكَ وَٱتَّبَعَكَ ٱلۡأَرۡذَلُونَ 111

They said, "Should we believe you while you are followed by the lowest [class of people]

قَالَ وَمَا عِلۡمِي بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ 112

He said, "And what is my knowledge of what they used to do

إِنۡ حِسَابُهُمۡ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّيۖ لَوۡ تَشۡعُرُونَ 113

Their account is only upon my Lord, if you [could] perceive

وَمَآ أَنَا۠ بِطَارِدِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ 114

And I am not one to drive away the believers

إِنۡ أَنَا۠ إِلَّا نَذِيرٞ مُّبِينٞ 115

I am only a clear warner

قَالُواْ لَئِن لَّمۡ تَنتَهِ يَٰنُوحُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمَرۡجُومِينَ 116

They said, "If you do not desist, O Noah, you will surely be of those who are stoned

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوۡمِي كَذَّبُونِ 117

He said, "My Lord, indeed my people have denied me

فَٱفۡتَحۡ بَيۡنِي وَبَيۡنَهُمۡ فَتۡحٗا وَنَجِّنِي وَمَن مَّعِيَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ 118

Then judge between me and them with decisive judgement and save me and those with me of the believers

فَأَنجَيۡنَٰهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥ فِي ٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلۡمَشۡحُونِ 119

So We saved him and those with him in the laden ship

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا بَعۡدُ ٱلۡبَاقِينَ 120

Then We drowned thereafter the remaining ones
