Maana: "Mtume Nuhu"
إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦٓ أَنْ أَنذِرْ قَوْمَكَ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۭ ١
Hakika Sisi tulimtuma Nuh'u kwa watu wake: Uwaonye kaumu yako kabla ya kuwafikia adhabu chungu.
Indeed, We sent Noah to his people, [saying], "Warn your people before there comes to them a painful punishment."
قَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ إِنِّى لَكُمْ نَذِيرٌۭ مُّبِينٌ ٢
Akasema: Enyi watu wangu! Kwa hakika mimi ni mwonyaji wa dhaahiri kwenu,
He said, "O my people, indeed I am to you a clear warner,
أَنِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱتَّقُوهُ وَأَطِيعُونِ ٣
Ya kwamba mumuabudu Mwenyezi Mungu, na mumche Yeye, na mumt'ii.
[Saying], 'Worship Allah, fear Him and obey me.
يَغْفِرْ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُؤَخِّرْكُمْ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍۢ مُّسَمًّى ۚ إِنَّ أَجَلَ ٱللَّهِ إِذَا جَآءَ لَا يُؤَخَّرُ ۖ لَوْ كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ٤
Atakughufirieni madhambi yenu, na atakuakhirisheni mpaka muda ulio wekwa. Hakika muda wa Mwenyezi Mungu utapo fika haucheleweshwi. Laiti mngejua!
Allah will forgive you of your sins and delay you for a specified term. Indeed, the time [set by] Allah, when it comes, will not be delayed, if you only knew.' "
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّى دَعَوْتُ قَوْمِى لَيْلًۭا وَنَهَارًۭا ٥
Akasema: Ee Mola wangu Mlezi! Hakika mimi nimewaita watu wangu usiku na mchana,
He said, "My Lord, indeed I invited my people [to truth] night and day.
فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُمْ دُعَآءِىٓ إِلَّا فِرَارًۭا ٦
Lakini wito wangu haukuwazidisha ila kukimbia.
But my invitation increased them not except in flight.
وَإِنِّى كُلَّمَا دَعَوْتُهُمْ لِتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ جَعَلُوٓا۟ أَصَٰبِعَهُمْ فِىٓ ءَاذَانِهِمْ وَٱسْتَغْشَوْا۟ ثِيَابَهُمْ وَأَصَرُّوا۟ وَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ ٱسْتِكْبَارًۭا ٧
Na hakika mimi kila nilipo waita ili upate kuwaghufiria, walijiziba masikio yao kwa vidole vyao, na wakajigubika nguo zao, na wakakamia, na wakatakabari vikubwa mno!
And indeed, every time I invited them that You may forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears, covered themselves with their garments, persisted, and were arrogant with [great] arrogance.
ثُمَّ إِنِّى دَعَوْتُهُمْ جِهَارًۭا ٨
Tena niliwaita kwa uwazi,
Then I invited them publicly.
ثُمَّ إِنِّىٓ أَعْلَنتُ لَهُمْ وَأَسْرَرْتُ لَهُمْ إِسْرَارًۭا ٩
Kisha nikawatangazia kwa kelele, tena nikasema nao kwa siri.
Then I announced to them and [also] confided to them secretly
فَقُلْتُ ٱسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ غَفَّارًۭا ١٠
Nikasema: Ombeni msamaha kwa Mola wenu Mlezi; hakika Yeye ni Mwingi wa kusamehe.
And said, 'Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Indeed, He is ever a Perpetual Forgiver.
يُرْسِلِ ٱلسَّمَآءَ عَلَيْكُم مِّدْرَارًۭا ١١
Atakuleteeni mvua inyeshe mfululizo.
He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in [continuing] showers
وَيُمْدِدْكُم بِأَمْوَٰلٍۢ وَبَنِينَ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ أَنْهَٰرًۭا ١٢
Na atakupeni mali na wana, na atakupeni mabustani na atakufanyieni mito.
And give you increase in wealth and children and provide for you gardens and provide for you rivers.
مَّا لَكُمْ لَا تَرْجُونَ لِلَّهِ وَقَارًۭا ١٣
Mna nini hamweki heshima ya Mwenyezi Mungu?
What is [the matter] with you that you do not attribute to Allah [due] grandeur
وَقَدْ خَلَقَكُمْ أَطْوَارًا ١٤
Na hali Yeye kakuumbeni daraja baada ya daraja?
While He has created you in stages?
أَلَمْ تَرَوْا۟ كَيْفَ خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ سَبْعَ سَمَٰوَٰتٍۢ طِبَاقًۭا ١٥
Kwani hamwoni jinsi Mwenyezi Mungu alivyo ziumba mbingu saba kwa matabaka?
Do you not consider how Allah has created seven heavens in layers
وَجَعَلَ ٱلْقَمَرَ فِيهِنَّ نُورًۭا وَجَعَلَ ٱلشَّمْسَ سِرَاجًۭا ١٦
Na akaufanya mwezi ndani yake uwe nuru, na akalifanya jua kuwa taa?
And made the moon therein a [reflected] light and made the sun a burning lamp?
وَٱللَّهُ أَنۢبَتَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ نَبَاتًۭا ١٧
Na Mwenyezi Mungu amekuotesheni katika ardhi kama mimea.
And Allah has caused you to grow from the earth a [progressive] growth.
ثُمَّ يُعِيدُكُمْ فِيهَا وَيُخْرِجُكُمْ إِخْرَاجًۭا ١٨
Kisha atakurudsheni humo na atakutoeni tena.
Then He will return you into it and extract you [another] extraction.
وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ بِسَاطًۭا ١٩
Na Mwenyezi Mungu amekukunjulieni ardhi kama busati.
And Allah has made for you the earth an expanse
لِّتَسْلُكُوا۟ مِنْهَا سُبُلًۭا فِجَاجًۭا ٢٠
Ili mtembee humo katika njia zilizo pana.
That you may follow therein roads of passage.' "
قَالَ نُوحٌۭ رَّبِّ إِنَّهُمْ عَصَوْنِى وَٱتَّبَعُوا۟ مَن لَّمْ يَزِدْهُ مَالُهُۥ وَوَلَدُهُۥٓ إِلَّا خَسَارًۭا ٢١
Nuh'u akasema: Mola wangu Mlezi! Hakika hao wameniasi, na wamemfuata yule ambaye mali yake na wanawe hawakumzidishia ila khasara.
Noah said, "My Lord, indeed they have disobeyed me and followed him whose wealth and children will not increase him except in loss.
وَمَكَرُوا۟ مَكْرًۭا كُبَّارًۭا ٢٢
Na wakapanga vitimbi vikubwa.
And they conspired an immense conspiracy.
وَقَالُوا۟ لَا تَذَرُنَّ ءَالِهَتَكُمْ وَلَا تَذَرُنَّ وَدًّۭا وَلَا سُوَاعًۭا وَلَا يَغُوثَ وَيَعُوقَ وَنَسْرًۭا ٢٣
Na wakasema: Msiwaache miungu yenu, wala msimwache Wadda wala Suwaa' wala Yaghutha, wala Yau'qa, wala Nasra.
And said, 'Never leave your gods and never leave Wadd or Suwa' or Yaghuth and Ya'uq and Nasr.
وَقَدْ أَضَلُّوا۟ كَثِيرًۭا ۖ وَلَا تَزِدِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ إِلَّا ضَلَٰلًۭا ٢٤
Na hao walikwisha wapoteza wengi, wala usiwazidishie walio dhulumu ila kupotea.
And already they have misled many. And, [my Lord], do not increase the wrongdoers except in error."
مِّمَّا خَطِيٓـَٰٔتِهِمْ أُغْرِقُوا۟ فَأُدْخِلُوا۟ نَارًۭا فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا۟ لَهُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَنصَارًۭا ٢٥
Basi kwa ajili ya makosa yao waligharikishwa wakaingizwa Motoni, wala hawakuwapata wa kuwanusuru badala ya Mwenyezi Mungu.
Because of their sins they were drowned and put into the Fire, and they found not for themselves besides Allah [any] helpers.
وَقَالَ نُوحٌۭ رَّبِّ لَا تَذَرْ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنَ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ دَيَّارًا ٢٦
Na Nuh'u akasema: Mola wangu Mlezi! Usimwache juu ya ardhi mkaazi wake yeyote katika makafiri!
And Noah said, "My Lord, do not leave upon the earth from among the disbelievers an inhabitant.
إِنَّكَ إِن تَذَرْهُمْ يُضِلُّوا۟ عِبَادَكَ وَلَا يَلِدُوٓا۟ إِلَّا فَاجِرًۭا كَفَّارًۭا ٢٧
Hakika ukiwaacha watawapoteza waja wako, wala wao hawatazaa ila waovu makafiri.
Indeed, if You leave them, they will mislead Your servants and not beget except [every] wicked one and [confirmed] disbeliever.
رَّبِّ ٱغْفِرْ لِى وَلِوَٰلِدَىَّ وَلِمَن دَخَلَ بَيْتِىَ مُؤْمِنًۭا وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَٰتِ وَلَا تَزِدِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ إِلَّا تَبَارًۢا ٢٨
Mola wangu Mlezi! Nighufirie mimi na wazazi wangu, na kila aliye ingia nyumbani mwangu kuwa ni mwenye kuamini, na Waumini wote wanaume, na Waumini wanawake. Na wala usiwazidishie walio dhulumu ila kupotea.
My Lord, forgive me and my parents and whoever enters my house a believer and the believing men and believing women. And do not increase the wrongdoers except in destruction."
