Accurate and complete rotational, rotational-vibrational and rotational-vibrational-electronic line lists are calculated for sodium hydride: both the NaH and NaD isotopologues are considered. These line lists cover all ro-vibrational states of the ground ($X$~$^1\Sigma^+$) and first excited ($A$~$^1\Sigma^+$) electronic states. The calculations use available spectroscopically-determined potential energy curves and new high-quality, \textit{ab initio} dipole moment curves. Partition functions for both isotopologues are calculated and the effect of quasibound states is considered. The resulting line lists are suitable for temperatures up to about 7000~K and are designed for studies of exoplanet atmospheres, brown dwarfs and cool stars. In particular, the NaH $A-X$ band is found to show a broad absorption feature at about 385 nm which should provide a signature for the molecule. All partition functions, lines and transitions are available as Supplementary Information to this article and at \url{www.exomol.com}.
