At length, behold! there came Our command, and the fountains of the earth gushed forth! We said: "Embark therein, of each kind two, male and female, and your family - except those against whom the word has already gone forth,- and the Believers." but only a few believed with him.

And it is He who spread out the earth, and set thereon mountains standing firm and (flowing) rivers: and fruit of every kind He made in pairs, two and two: He draweth the night as a veil o'er the Day. Behold, verily in these things there are signs for those who consider!

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).

And of every thing We have created pairs: That ye may receive instruction.

等到我的命令来临而洪水从地面涌出的时候，我说：“你把每种动物各拿一对放在船里，并使你的家属--除已被判决者外--和信道的人们一起上船去。”只有少数人同他一起信道。

他展开大地，并在大地上安置许多山岳和河流，他把每种果实造成两性的，他以黑夜覆盖白昼。对于能思维的民众，此中确有许多迹象。

我就启示他说：“你在我的照顾下，依我的启示而造船。当我的命令来临，而洪水泛滥于地面的时候，你把每种动物，各取一对，放在船上，使你的家属也上船去；他们中已被判决者除外。你不要为不义者而祈祷我，他们必然被淹死。

我将每种物造成配偶，以便你们觉悟。
