إِنَّهُمۡ أَلۡفَوۡاْ ءَابَآءَهُمۡ ضَآلِّينَ

Indeed, they found their forefathers astray,


فَهُمۡ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِمۡ يُهۡرَعُونَ

so they rushed in their footsteps!


وَلَقَدۡ ضَلَّ قَبۡلَهُمۡ أَكۡثَرُ ٱلۡأَوَّلِينَ

And surely most of the earlier generations had strayed before them,


وَلَقَدۡ أَرۡسَلۡنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ

although We had certainly sent warners among them.


فَٱنظُرۡ كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلۡمُنذَرِينَ

See then what was the end of those who had been warned.


إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

But not the chosen servants of Allah.


وَلَقَدۡ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٞ فَلَنِعۡمَ ٱلۡمُجِيبُونَ

Indeed, Noah cried out to Us, and how excellent are We in responding!


وَنَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلۡكَرۡبِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

We delivered him and his family1 from the great distress,


وَجَعَلۡنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلۡبَاقِينَ

and made his descendants the sole survivors.1
