(They were) the seed of those whom We carried (in the ship) along with Noah. Lo! he was a grateful slave.

O ye that are sprung from those whom We carried (in the Ark) with Noah! Verily he was a devotee most grateful.

The offspring of those whom We bore with Nuh; surely he was a grateful servant.

Offspring of whomever We carried with Nuh, (Noah) surely he was a constantly thankful bondman.
