كَذَّبَتۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحٍ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
The people of Noah rejected the messengers.
إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ أَخُوهُمۡ نُوحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
Behold, their brother Noah said to them: "Will ye not fear (Allah)?
إِنِّي لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٞ
"I am to you a messenger worthy of all trust:
فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
"So fear Allah, and obey me.
وَمَآ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
"No reward do I ask of you for it: my reward is only from the Lord of the Worlds:
فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
"So fear Allah, and obey me."
۞قَالُوٓاْ أَنُؤۡمِنُ لَكَ وَٱتَّبَعَكَ ٱلۡأَرۡذَلُونَ
They said: "Shall we believe in thee when it is the meanest that follow thee?"
قَالَ وَمَا عِلۡمِي بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ
He said: "And what do I know as to what they do?
إِنۡ حِسَابُهُمۡ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّيۖ لَوۡ تَشۡعُرُونَ
"Their account is only with my Lord, if ye could (but) understand.
