وَلَقَدْ And verily walaqad We sent arsalnā Nuh nūḥan to ilā his people qawmihi and he said faqāla O my people yāqawmi Worship uʿ'budū Allah l-laha not mā for you lakum (is) any min god ilāhin other than Him ghayruhu Then will not afalā you fear tattaqūna
And We had certainly sent Noah to his people, and he said, "O my people, worship Allāh; you have no deity other than Him; then will you not fear Him?"
فَقَالَ But said faqāla the chiefs l-mala-u (of) those who alladhīna disbelieved kafarū among min his people qawmihi This is not mā This is not hādhā but illā a man basharun like you mith'lukum he wishes yurīdu to an assert (his) superiority yatafaḍḍala over you ʿalaykum and if walaw Allah had willed shāa Allah had willed l-lahu surely He (would have) sent down la-anzala Angels malāikatan Not mā we heard samiʿ'nā of this bihādhā from fī our forefathers ābāinā our forefathers l-awalīna
But the eminent among those who disbelieved from his people said, "This is not but a man like yourselves who wishes to take precedence over you; and if Allāh had willed [to send a messenger], He would have sent down angels. We have not heard of this among our forefathers.
إِنْ Not in he huwa (is) but illā a man rajulun in him bihi (is) madness jinnatun so wait fatarabbaṣū concerning him bihi until ḥattā a time ḥīnin
He is not but a man possessed with madness, so wait concerning him for a time."
