Help me because they deny me. 023:026 Rashad He said, "My Lord, grant me victory, for they have disbelieved me." 023:026 Sarwar Noah prayed, "Lord, help me; they have called me a liar". 023:026 Shakir He said: O my Lord! help me against their calling me a liar. 023:026 Sherali Noah said, `O my lord, help me, for they treat me as a liar.' 023:026 Yusufali (Noah) said: "O my Lord! help me: for that they accuse me of falsehood! 023:027 023:027 Khan So We inspired him (saying): "Construct the ship under Our Eyes and under Our Revelation (guidance). Then, when Our Command comes, and the oven gushes forth water, take on board of each kind two (male and female), and your family, except those thereof against whom the Word has already gone forth. And address Me not in favour of those who have done wrong. Verily, they are to be drowned. 023:027 Maulana So We revealed to him: Make the ark under Our eyes and according to Our revelation; then when our command comes, and water gushes forth from the valley, take into it of every kind a pair, two, and thy people, except those among them again whom the word has gone forth, and speak not to Me in respect of those who are unjust; surely they will be drowned. 023:027 Pickthal Then We inspired in him, saying: Make the ship under Our eyes and Our inspiration.

Lo! they will be drowned. 023:027 Rashad We then inspired him: "Make the watercraft under our watchful eyes, and in accordance with our inspiration. When our command comes, and the atmosphere boils up, put on it a pair of every kind (of your domesticated animals), and your family, except those condemned to be doomed. Do not speak to Me on behalf of those who transgressed; they will be drowned. 023:027 Sarwar We inspired him, saying, "Build the Ark before Our eyes and by the instruction of Our revelation. When our decree comes to pass and water comes forth from the Oven, embark in the Ark with a pair of every kind of animals and your family except those already doomed (to perish). Do not plead with Me for the unjust; they will be drowned." 023:027 Shakir So We revealed to him, saying: Make the ark before Our eyes and (according to) Our revelation; and when Our command is given and the valley overflows, take into it of every kind a pair, two, and your followers, except those among them against whom the word has gone forth, and do not speak to Me in respect of those who are unjust; surely they shall be drowned. 023:027 Sherali So WE directed him by revelation: `Make the Ark under Our eyes and according to Our revelation. And when Our command comes, and the fountains of the earth gush forth, take thou into it two pairs of every species and thy family, except those of them against whom the word has already gone forth. And address ME not concerning those who have done wrong; they shall, surely, be drowned. 023:027 Yusufali So We inspired him (with this message): "Construct the Ark within Our sight and under Our guidance: then when comes Our Command, and the fountains of the earth gush forth, take thou on board pairs of every species, male and female, and thy family- except those of them against whom the Word has already gone forth: And address Me not in favour of the wrong-doers; for they shall be drowned (in the Flood). 023:028 023:028 Khan And when you have embarked on the ship, you and whoever is with you, then say: "All the praises and thanks be to Allah, Who has saved us from the people who are Zalimun (i.e. oppressors, wrong-doers, polytheists, those who join others in worship with Allah, etc.). 023:028 Maulana Then when thou art firmly seated, thou and those with thee, in the ark, say: Praise be to Allah, Who delivered us from the unjust people! 023:028 Pickthal And when thou art on board the ship, thou and whoso is with thee, then say: Praise be to Allah Who hath saved us from the wrongdoing folk! 023:028 Rashad "Once you are settled, together with those who are with you, on the watercraft, you shall say, `Praise GOD for saving us from the evil people.' 023:028 Sarwar When all of you settle in the Ark, say, "Only God Who has saved us from the unjust people deserves all praise". 023:028 Shakir And when you are firmly seated, you and those with you, in the ark, say: All praise is due to Allah who delivered us from the unjust people: 023:028 Sherali `And when thou art settled in the Ark - thou and those that are with thee - say, `All praise belongs to ALLAH who has saved us from the unjust people.' 023:028 Yusufali And when thou hast embarked on the Ark - thou and those with thee,- say: "Praise be to Allah, Who has saved us from the people who do wrong. 023:029 023:029 Khan And say: "My Lord!
