وَإِنَّ لَكُم فِي الأَنعامِ لَعِبرَةً ۖ نُسقيكُم مِمّا في بُطونِها وَلَكُم فيها مَنافِعُ كَثيرَةٌ وَمِنها تَأكُلونَ

In livestock, too, there is a lesson for you: We provide you with a drink from what’s in their bellies, and there are numerous other benefits for you in them, and of them, you eat.

وَعَلَيها وَعَلَى الفُلكِ تُحمَلونَ

And on them, as well as on ships, you are transported.

وَلَقَد أَرسَلنا نوحًا إِلىٰ قَومِهِ فَقالَ يا قَومِ اعبُدُوا اللَّهَ ما لَكُم مِن إِلـٰهٍ غَيرُهُ ۖ أَفَلا تَتَّقونَ

We sent Noah to his people, and he pleaded, “O my people, worship God; you have no god but Him. Will you not then be righteous?”

فَقالَ المَلَأُ الَّذينَ كَفَروا مِن قَومِهِ ما هـٰذا إِلّا بَشَرٌ مِثلُكُم يُريدُ أَن يَتَفَضَّلَ عَلَيكُم وَلَو شاءَ اللَّهُ لَأَنزَلَ مَلائِكَةً ما سَمِعنا بِهـٰذا في آبائِنَا الأَوَّلينَ

However, the leaders of his people who disbelieved said, “This is nothing but a man like yourselves, seeking to assert dominance over you. If God had willed, He could’ve sent down angels. We’ve never heard of this from our forefathers.

إِن هُوَ إِلّا رَجُلٌ بِهِ جِنَّةٌ فَتَرَبَّصوا بِهِ حَتّىٰ حينٍ

He is only a man with delusions. Just ignore him for a while.”

فَأَوحَينا إِلَيهِ أَنِ اصنَعِ الفُلكَ بِأَعيُنِنا وَوَحيِنا فَإِذا جاءَ أَمرُنا وَفارَ التَّنّورُ ۙ فَاسلُك فيها مِن كُلٍّ زَوجَينِ اثنَينِ وَأَهلَكَ إِلّا مَن سَبَقَ عَلَيهِ القَولُ مِنهُم ۖ وَلا تُخاطِبني فِي الَّذينَ ظَلَموا ۖ إِنَّهُم مُغرَقونَ

We revealed to him: “Construct the Ark under Our observation and by Our inspiration. When Our command comes, and the oven overflows, take on board a pair of every kind, and your family, excluding those upon whom the sentence has been pronounced. And don’t plead with Me on behalf of those who did wrong; they are to be drowned.”

فَإِذَا استَوَيتَ أَنتَ وَمَن مَعَكَ عَلَى الفُلكِ فَقُلِ الحَمدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذي نَجّانا مِنَ القَومِ الظّالِمينَ

When you and those with you are settled in the Ark, say, “Praise be to God who has delivered us from the wrong-doing people.”

وَقُل رَبِّ أَنزِلني مُنزَلًا مُبارَكًا وَأَنتَ خَيرُ المُنزِلينَ

And pray, “My Lord, make me land with a blessed landing, for You are the best to ensure a safe landing.”

إِنَّ في ذٰلِكَ لَآياتٍ وَإِن كُنّا لَمُبتَلينَ

In this, there are lessons, and We are constantly testing.

ثُمَّ أَنشَأنا مِن بَعدِهِم قَرنًا آخَرينَ

Then, after them, We established another generation.
