M. H. Shakir, The Holy Quran; Arabic Text and English Translation; Foot-notes by M. H. Shakir (1974)

61. He said: O my people! there is no error in me, but I am an apostle from the Lord of the worlds.

62. 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.

63. What! do you wonder that a reminder has come to you from your Lord through a man from among you, that he might warn you and that you might guard (against evil) and so that mercy may be shown to you?

64. But they called him a liar, so We delivered him and those with him in the ark, and We drowned those who rejected Our communications; surely they were a blind people.

Section 9

65. And to Ad (We sent) their brother Hud. He said: O my people! serve Allah, you have no god other than Him; will you not then guard (against evil)?

66. The chiefs of those who disbelieved from among his people said: Most surely we see you in folly, and most surely we think you to be of the liars.

67. He said: Omypeople! there is no folly in me, but I am an apostle of the Lord of the worlds.
