وَأُوحِىَ إِلَى نُوح أَنَّهُ لَنْ یُؤْمِنَ مِنْ قَوْمِکَ إِلاَّ مَنْ قَدْ آمَنَ فَلاَ تَبْتَئِسْ بِمَا کَانُوا یَفْعَلُونَ(( 36 ))

36- AND IT WAS INSPIRED TO NOAH THAT, NO MORE OF YOUR PEOPLE WILL EVER BELIEVE, EXCEPT THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY BELIEVED. THEN DO NOT GRIEVE AT WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN DOING.

وَاصْنَعْ الْفُلْکَ بِأَعْیُنِنَا وَوَحْیِنَا وَلاَ تُخَاطِبْنِی فِی الَّذِینَ ظَلَمُوا إِنَّهُمْ مُغْرَقُونَ(( 37 ))

37- AND CONSTRUCT THE ARK BEFORE OUR EYES, AND ACCORDING TO OUR INSPIRATION. AND INTERCEDE NOT WITH ME ON BEHALF OF THOSE WHO HAVE OPPRESSED, THAT THEY ARE TO BE DROWNED.

وَیَصْنَعُ الْفُلْکَ وَکُلَّمَا مَرَّ عَلَیْهِ مَلاٌَ مِّن قَوْمِهِ سَخِرُوا مِنْهُ قَالَ إِنْ تَسْخَرُوا مِنَّا فَإِنَّا نَسْخَرُ مِنْکُمْ کَمَا تَسْخَرُونَ(( 38 ))

38- AND HE WAS CONSTRUCTING THE ARK, AND WHENEVER SOME CHIEFS OF HIS PEOPLE PASSED HIM BY, THEY JEER AT HIM. SO HE SAID:ِ ``IF YOU SCOFF AT US, WE TOO, SHALL (IN TIME) SCOFF AT YOU, AS YOU DO.''

فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ یَأْتِیهِ عَذَابٌ یُخْزِیهِ وَیَحِلُّ عَلَیْهِ عَذَابٌ مُقِیمٌ(( 39 ))

39- THEN VERY SOON SHALL YOU KNOW TO WHOM WILL COME THE PUNISHMENT TO DESPISE HIM, AND ARRIVE ON HIM AN EVERLASTING TORMENT.
