وَٱصْنَعِ ٱلْفُلْكَ بِأَعْيُنِنَا وَوَحْيِنَا وَلَا تُخَـٰطِبْنِى فِى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ ۚ إِنَّهُم مُّغْرَقُونَ Qur’an Hud (11:37)
Wa i s naAAi alfulka biaAAyunin a wawa h yin a wal a tukh at ibnee fee alla th eena th alamoo innahum mughraqoon a
but build, under Our eyes59 and according to Our inspiration, the ark [that shall save thee and those who follow thee];60 and do not appeal to Me in behalf of those who are bent on evildoing - for, behold, they are destined to be drowned!"
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad

This interpolation is necessitated by the definite article preceding the noun fulk (lit., "ship", but rendered by me as "ark" owing to its familiar connotation in European languages).

I.e., "under Our protection".

Build an ark under Our supervision in accordance with Our revelation, and beware not to plead with Me on behalf of those who are wrongdoers: for they are all to be drowned in the flood."
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
And build the Ark under Our 'watchful' Eyes and directions, and do not plead with Me for those who have done wrong, for they will surely be drowned.'
  - Mustafa Khattab
Mustafa Khattab
Build the ship under Our Eyes and by Our inspiration, and speak not unto Me on behalf of those who do wrong. Lo! they wilt be drowned.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Marmaduke Pickthall
"But construct an Ark under Our eyes and Our inspiration and address Me no (further) on behalf of those who are in sin: for they are about to be overwhelmed (in the Flood)." 1530
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

It was to be built under the special instructions of Allah, to serve the special purpose it was intended to serve.
