And surely your Lord, He is indeed The Ever-Mighty, The Ever-Merciful.
كَذَّبَتۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحٍ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
The people of Nuh (Noah) cried lies to the Emissaries,
إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ أَخُوهُمۡ نُوحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
As their brother Nuh said to them, "Will you not be pious?

And in no way do I ask of you any reward for (this); decidedly my reward (falls) upon no one except The Lord of the worlds.
فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
So be pious to Allah, and obey me."
۞قَالُوٓاْ أَنُؤۡمِنُ لَكَ وَٱتَّبَعَكَ ٱلۡأَرۡذَلُونَ
They said, "should we believe you, and the most decrepit closely follow you?"
قَالَ وَمَا عِلۡمِي بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ
He said, "What knowledge have I of whatever they were doing?
