فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطيعونِ

So fear Allah and obey me."

قالوا أَنُؤمِنُ لَكَ وَاتَّبَعَكَ الأَرذَلونَ

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

قالَ وَما عِلمي بِما كانوا يَعمَلونَ

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

إِن حِسابُهُم إِلّا عَلىٰ رَبّي ۖ لَو تَشعُرونَ

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

وَما أَنا بِطارِدِ المُؤمِنينَ

And I am not one to drive away the believers.

قالوا لَئِن لَم تَنتَهِ يا نوحُ لَتَكونَنَّ مِنَ المَرجومينَ

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

قالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ قَومي كَذَّبونِ

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

فَافتَح بَيني وَبَينَهُم فَتحًا وَنَجِّني وَمَن مَعِيَ مِنَ المُؤمِنينَ

Then judge between me and them with decisive judgement and save me and those with me of the believers."

فَأَنجَيناهُ وَمَن مَعَهُ فِي الفُلكِ المَشحونِ

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

ثُمَّ أَغرَقنا بَعدُ الباقينَ

Then We drowned thereafter the remaining ones.
