S:  And He it is Who sends forth the winds bearing good news before His mercy, until, when they bring up a laden cloud, We drive it to a dead land, then We send down water on it, then bring forth with it of fruits of all kinds; thus shall We bring forth the dead that you may be mindful.

007.058 Y:  From the land that is clean and good, by the will of its Cherisher, springs up produce, (rich) after its kind:  but from the land that is bad, springs up nothing but that which is niggardly:  thus do we explain the signs by various (symbols) to those who are grateful.

P:  As for the good land, its vegetation cometh forth by permission of its Lord; while as for that which is bad, only the useless cometh forth (from it).  Thus do We recount the tokens for people who give thanks.

S:  And as for the good land, its vegetation springs forth (abundantly) by the permission of its Lord, and (as for) that which is inferior (its herbage) comes forth but scantily; thus do We repeat the communications for a people who give thanks.

007.059 Y:  We sent Noah to his people.  He said:  “O my people! worship Allah! ye have no other god but Him.  I fear for you the punishment of a dreadful day!”

P:  We sent Noah (of old) unto his people, and he said:  O my people!  Serve Allah.  Ye have no other Allah save Him.  Lo!  I fear for you the retribution of an Awful Day.

S:  Certainly We sent Nuh to his people, so he said:  O my people! serve Allah, you have no god other than Him; surely I fear for you the chastisement of a grievous day.

007.060 Y:  The leaders of his people said:  “Ah! we see thee evidently wandering (in mind).”

P:  The chieftains of his people said:  Lo! we see thee surely in plain error.

S:  The chiefs of his people said:  Most surely we see you in clear error.

007.061 Y:  He said:  “O my people!  No wandering is there in my (mind):  on the contrary I am a messenger from the Lord and Cherisher of the worlds!”

P:  He said:  O my people!  There is no error in me, but I am a messenger from the Lord of the Worlds.

S:  He said:  O my people! there is no error in me, but I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds.

007.062 Y:  “I but fulfil towards you the duties of my Lord’s mission:  Sincere is my advice to you, and I know from Allah something that ye know not.”

P:  I convey unto you the messages of my Lord and give good counsel unto you, and know from Allah that which ye know not.

S:  I deliver to you the messages of my Lord, and I offer you good advice and I know from Allah what you do not know.

007.063 Y:  “Do ye wonder that there hath come to you a message from your Lord, through a man of your own people, to warn you,- so that ye may fear Allah and haply receive His Mercy?”

P:  Marvel ye that there should come unto you a Reminder from your Lord by means of a man among you, that he may warn you, and that ye may keep from evil, and that haply ye may find mercy.
