S: That you may go along therein in wide paths.

071.021 Y: Noah said: "O my Lord! They have disobeyed me, but they follow (men) whose wealth and children give them no increase but only Loss."

P: Noah said: My Lord! Lo! they have disobeyed me and followed one whose wealth and children increase him in naught save ruin;

S: Nuh said: My Lord! surely they have disobeyed me and followed him whose wealth and children have added to him nothing but loss.

071.022 Y: "And they have devised a tremendous Plot."

P: And they have plotted a mighty plot,

S: And they have planned a very great plan.

071.023 Y: "And they have said (to each other), 'Abandon not your G.o.ds: Abandon neither Wadd nor Suwa', neither Yaguth nor Ya'uq, nor Nasr';"-

P: And they have said: Forsake not your G.o.ds. Forsake not Wadd, nor Suwa', nor Yaghuth and Ya'uq and Nasr.

S: And they say: By no means leave your G.o.ds, nor leave Wadd, nor Suwa; nor Yaghus, and Yauq and Nasr.

071.024 Y: "They have already misled many; and grant Thou no increase to the wrong-doers but in straying (from their mark)."

P: And they have led many astray, and Thou increasest the wrong-doers in naught save error.

S: And indeed they have led astray many, and do not increase the unjust in aught but error.

071.025 Y: Because of their sins they were drowned (in the flood), and were made to enter the Fire (of Punishment): and they found- in lieu of Allah- none to help them.

P: Because of their sins they were drowned, then made to enter a Fire.

And they found they had no helpers in place of Allah.

S: Because of their wrongs they were drowned, then made to enter fire, so they did not find any helpers besides Allah.

071.026 Y: And Noah, said: "O my Lord! Leave not of the Unbelievers, a single one on earth!"

P: And Noah said: My Lord! Leave not one of the disbelievers in the land.

071.027 Y: "For, if Thou dost leave (any of) them, they will but mislead Thy devotees, and they will breed none but wicked ungrateful ones."

P: If Thou shouldst leave them, they will mislead Thy slaves and will beget none save lewd ingrates.

S: For surely if Thou leave them they will lead astray Thy servants, and will not beget any but immoral, ungrateful (children)

071.028 Y: "O my Lord! Forgive me, my parents, all who enter my house in Faith, and (all) believing men and believing women: and to the wrong-doers grant Thou no increase but in perdition!"

P: My Lord! Forgive me and my parents and him who entereth my house believing, and believing men and believing women, and increase not the wrong-doers in aught save ruin.

S: My Lord! forgive me and my parents and him who enters my house believing, and the believing men and the believing women; and do not increase the unjust in aught but destruction!
