َالُوا یَا نُوحُ قَدْ جَادَلْتَنَا فَأَکْثَرْتَ جِدَالَنَا فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَا إِنْ کُنتَ مِنْ الصَّادِقِینَ(( 32 ))

32- THEY SAID:ِ ``O, NOAH! YOU HAVE DISPUTED WITH US, AND HAVE DISPUTED TOO MUCH. THEN BRING US THAT (PUNISHMENT) WHICH YOU PROMISE US, IF YOU ARE OF THE TRUTHFULS.''

قَالَ إِنَّمَا یَأْتِیکُمْ بِهِ اللهُ إِنْ شَاءَ وَمَا أَنْتُمْ بِمُعْجِزِینَ(( 33 ))

33- HE SAID:ِ VERILY ALLAH WILL BRING IT UPON YOU IF HE WILL, AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ESCAPE IT.

وَلاَ یَنفَعُکُمْ نُصْحِی إِنْ أَرَدْتُّ أَنْ أَنصَحَ لَکُمْ إِنْ کَانَ اللهُ یُرِیدُ أَنْ یُغْوِیَکُمْ هُوَ رَبُّکُمْ وَإِلَیْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ(( 34 ))

34- AND MY ADVICE WILL NOT PROFIT YOU IF I INTEND TO ADVISE YOU, WHEN ALLAH WANTS TO LEAVE YOU GOING ASTRAY. (HE DOES NOT WANT TO COMPEL YOU AGAINST THE FREE WILL THAT HE HAS GRANTED TO YOU)

      HE IS YOUR LORD, AND TO HIM YOU WILL RETURN.

أَمْ یَقُولُونَ افْتَرَاهُ قُلْ إِنِ افْتَرَیْتُهُ فَعَلَىَّ إِجْرَامِی وَأَنَا بَرِىءٌ مِمَّا تُجْرِمُونَ(( 35 ))

35- DO THEY (i.e. THE PAGAN ARABS) SAY:ِ ``HE HAS FORGED IT?''

      SAY:ِ ``IF I HAVE FORGED IT, ON ME LAYS MY GUILT, AND I AM QUIT OF YOUR GUILTS.''
