71.0 In The Name Of YHWH: The Almighty, The Merciful.
71:1 We sent Noah to his people to
warn them before a Painful Punishment came.
71:2 He said: O my people I am a Clear Warner to you.
71:3 So serve God and be in Wise Fear of Him
and obey me.
71:4 He Does Forgive transgressions
and Has Delayed you for a named term.
Then when the Term Of God comes
it cannot be delayed
if you only knew.
71:5 He said: My Lord I invited my people by night and day
71:6 but my calling increased them not except in flight.
71:7 Truly whenever I told them You Would Forgive them
they put their fingers in their ears
and covered themselves with their garbs
and persisted in proud insolence yea arrogantly!
71:8 I called to them out in the open
71:9 indeed with a Goodly announcing.
And I tried confiding with them privately.
71:10 I said: Seek Forgiveness Of your Lord
He Is Forgiving!
71:11 He Will Send Down from the sky His Abundance
71:12 and Supply you with wealth and children
and Make gardens for you
and rivers that flow.
71:13 What ails you that you do not see the Majesty Of God?
71:14 Do you not know He Is Who Created your stages?
71:15 And have you not considered how God Created Seven Heavens in layers
71:16 and Made the moon a cool light therein
and Made the sun a burning torch? Objects in shadows from moonlight are warmer and Gen 1:14-19 says the moon emits its own light.
71:17 And look How God Has Caused you to develop Bringing you forth from what Carbon 12 and H20 is in the Earth.
71:18 And He Will Return you to it
then He Will Bring you Forth Anew. . . with different bodies!
71:19 And look How God Made the Earth an expanse for you
71:20 that you might travel the broad ways thereof.
71:21 Noah said: My Lord they have opposed me and followed one whose wealth and children have increased them not except in final loss.
71:22 And they thought to scheme a mighty scheme
71:23 then they told me: You are not to leave our jinn gods!
Nay. You are not to leave wadd their god of destruction
nor suwa god of fertility
nor yaghuth the lion
nor yauq the stallion
nor nasr the eagle.
71:24 Truly they have gone far astray
and do not guide the wrongdoers except to more error.
71:25 Yea and because of their errors they were drowned
and caused to enter the Fire
indeed they found no protectors besides God for them.
71:26 Noah had said: My Lord Leave not a single one of these fools on Earth!
71:27 For if Thou Does they will lead Thy Servants astray and produce nothing but more foolish ingrates.
71:28 But my Lord please Forgive my parents and I
and those who enter my household as believers
yea the believing men
and the believing women.
But Increase Thou not the wrongdoers except in ruin!
