وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلۡجَحِيمُ لِلۡغَاوِينَ

And Hellfire will be brought forth for the deviators,

وَقِيلَ لَهُمۡ أَيۡنَ مَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡبُدُونَ

And it will be said to them, "Where are those you used to worship

مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ هَلۡ يَنصُرُونَكُمۡ أَوۡ يَنتَصِرُونَ

Other than AllŒh? Can they help you or help themselves?"

فَكُبۡكِبُواْ فِيهَا هُمۡ وَٱلۡغَاوُۥنَ

So they will be overturned into it [i.e., Hellfire], they and the deviators

وَجُنُودُ إِبۡلِيسَ أَجۡمَعُونَ

And the soldiers of Iblees, all together.

قَالُواْ وَهُمۡ فِيهَا يَخۡتَصِمُونَ

They will say while they dispute therein,

تَٱللَّهِ إِن كُنَّا لَفِي ضَلَٰلٖ مُّبِينٍ

"By AllŒh, we were indeed in manifest error

إِذۡ نُسَوِّيكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

When we equated you with the Lord of the worlds.

وَمَآ أَضَلَّنَآ إِلَّا ٱلۡمُجۡرِمُونَ

And no one misguided us except the criminals.

فَمَا لَنَا مِن شَٰفِعِينَ

So now we have no intercessors

وَلَا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٖ

And not a devoted friend.

فَلَوۡ أَنَّ لَنَا كَرَّةٗ فَنَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

Then if we only had a return [to the world] and could be of the believers..."[1]

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

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

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

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

كَذَّبَتۡ قَوۡمُ نُوحٍ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

The people of Noah denied the messengers[1]

إِذۡ قَالَ لَهُمۡ أَخُوهُمۡ نُوحٌ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ

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

إِنِّي لَكُمۡ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٞ

Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger.

فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

So fear AllŒh and obey me.

وَمَآ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِيَ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

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

فَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ

So fear AllŒh and obey me."

۞قَالُوٓاْ أَنُؤۡمِنُ لَكَ وَٱتَّبَعَكَ ٱلۡأَرۡذَلُونَ

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

قَالَ وَمَا عِلۡمِي بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ

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

إِنۡ حِسَابُهُمۡ إِلَّا عَلَىٰ رَبِّيۖ لَوۡ تَشۡعُرُونَ

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

وَمَآ أَنَا۠ بِطَارِدِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

And I am not one to drive away the believers.

إِنۡ أَنَا۠ إِلَّا نَذِيرٞ مُّبِينٞ

I am only a clear warner."

قَالُواْ لَئِن لَّمۡ تَنتَهِ يَٰنُوحُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلۡمَرۡجُومِينَ

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

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوۡمِي كَذَّبُونِ

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

فَٱفۡتَحۡ بَيۡنِي وَبَيۡنَهُمۡ فَتۡحٗا وَنَجِّنِي وَمَن مَّعِيَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

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

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

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا بَعۡدُ ٱلۡبَاقِينَ

Then We drowned thereafter the remaining ones.
