تِلْكَ اٰیٰتُ الْكِتٰبِ الْمُبِیْنِ ۟
These are the verses of the clear Book.
لَعَلَّكَ بَاخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ اَلَّا یَكُوْنُوْا مُؤْمِنِیْنَ ۟
Perhaps, [O Muḥammad], you would kill yourself with grief that they will not be believers.
اِنْ نَّشَاْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَیْهِمْ مِّنَ السَّمَآءِ اٰیَةً فَظَلَّتْ اَعْنَاقُهُمْ لَهَا خٰضِعِیْنَ ۟
If We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for which their necks would remain humbled.
وَمَا یَاْتِیْهِمْ مِّنْ ذِكْرٍ مِّنَ الرَّحْمٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ اِلَّا كَانُوْا عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِیْنَ ۟
And no mention [i.e., revelation] comes to them anew from the Most Merciful except that they turn away from it.
فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوْا فَسَیَاْتِیْهِمْ اَنْۢبٰٓؤُا مَا كَانُوْا بِهٖ یَسْتَهْزِءُوْنَ ۟
For they have already denied, but there will come to them the news of that which they used to ridicule.
اَوَلَمْ یَرَوْا اِلَی الْاَرْضِ كَمْ اَنْۢبَتْنَا فِیْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِیْمٍ ۟
Did they not look at the earth - how much We have produced therein from every noble kind?
اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیَةً ؕ وَمَا كَانَ اَكْثَرُهُمْ مُّؤْمِنِیْنَ ۟
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِیْزُ الرَّحِیْمُ ۟۠
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
وَاِذْ نَادٰی رَبُّكَ مُوْسٰۤی اَنِ ائْتِ الْقَوْمَ الظّٰلِمِیْنَ ۟ۙ
And [mention] when your Lord called Moses, [saying], "Go to the wrongdoing people -
قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ ؕ اَلَا یَتَّقُوْنَ ۟
The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear Allāh?"
قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّیْۤ اَخَافُ اَنْ یُّكَذِّبُوْنِ ۟ؕ
He said, "My Lord, indeed I fear that they will deny me
وَیَضِیْقُ صَدْرِیْ وَلَا یَنْطَلِقُ لِسَانِیْ فَاَرْسِلْ اِلٰی هٰرُوْنَ ۟
And that my breast will tighten and my tongue will not be fluent, so send for Aaron.
وَلَهُمْ عَلَیَّ ذَنْۢبٌ فَاَخَافُ اَنْ یَّقْتُلُوْنِ ۟ۚۖ
And they have upon me a [claim due to] sin, so I fear that they will kill me."
قَالَ كَلَّا ۚ فَاذْهَبَا بِاٰیٰتِنَاۤ اِنَّا مَعَكُمْ مُّسْتَمِعُوْنَ ۟
[Allāh] said, "No. Go both of you with Our signs; indeed, We are with you, listening.
فَاْتِیَا فِرْعَوْنَ فَقُوْلَاۤ اِنَّا رَسُوْلُ رَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ ۟ۙ
Go to Pharaoh and say, 'We are the messengers of the Lord of the worlds,
اَنْ اَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ ۟ؕ
[Commanded to say], "Send with us the Children of Israel."'"
قَالَ اَلَمْ نُرَبِّكَ فِیْنَا وَلِیْدًا وَّلَبِثْتَ فِیْنَا مِنْ عُمُرِكَ سِنِیْنَ ۟ۙ
[Pharaoh] said, "Did we not raise you among us as a child, and you remained among us for years of your life?
وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ الَّتِیْ فَعَلْتَ وَاَنْتَ مِنَ الْكٰفِرِیْنَ ۟
And [then] you did your deed which you did, and you were of the ungrateful."
قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَاۤ اِذًا وَّاَنَا مِنَ الضَّآلِّیْنَ ۟ؕ
[Moses] said, "I did it, then, while I was of those astray [i.e., ignorant].
فَفَرَرْتُ مِنْكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِیْ رَبِّیْ حُكْمًا وَّجَعَلَنِیْ مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِیْنَ ۟
So I fled from you when I feared you. Then my Lord granted me judgement [i.e., wisdom and prophethood] and appointed me [as one] of the messengers.
وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَیَّ اَنْ عَبَّدْتَّ بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ ۟ؕ
And is this a favor of which you remind me - that you have enslaved the Children of Israel?"
قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ ۟ؕ
Said Pharaoh, "And what is the Lord of the worlds?"
قَالَ رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِ وَمَا بَیْنَهُمَا ؕ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّوْقِنِیْنَ ۟
[Moses] said, "The Lord of the heavens and earth and that between them, if you should be convinced."
قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهٗۤ اَلَا تَسْتَمِعُوْنَ ۟
[Pharaoh] said to those around him, "Do you not hear?"
قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ اٰبَآىِٕكُمُ الْاَوَّلِیْنَ ۟
[Moses] said, "Your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers."
قَالَ اِنَّ رَسُوْلَكُمُ الَّذِیْۤ اُرْسِلَ اِلَیْكُمْ لَمَجْنُوْنٌ ۟
[Pharaoh] said, "Indeed, your 'messenger' who has been sent to you is mad."
قَالَ رَبُّ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَیْنَهُمَا ؕ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْقِلُوْنَ ۟
[Moses] said, "Lord of the east and the west and that between them, if you were to reason."
قَالَ لَىِٕنِ اتَّخَذْتَ اِلٰهًا غَیْرِیْ لَاَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ الْمَسْجُوْنِیْنَ ۟
[Pharaoh] said, "If you take a god other than me, I will surely place you among those imprisoned."
قَالَ اَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَیْءٍ مُّبِیْنٍ ۟ۚ
[Moses] said, "Even if I brought you something [i.e., proof] manifest?"
قَالَ فَاْتِ بِهٖۤ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِیْنَ ۟
[Pharaoh] said, "Then bring it, if you should be of the truthful."
فَاَلْقٰی عَصَاهُ فَاِذَا هِیَ ثُعْبَانٌ مُّبِیْنٌ ۟ۚۖ
So [Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent manifest.
وَّنَزَعَ یَدَهٗ فَاِذَا هِیَ بَیْضَآءُ لِلنّٰظِرِیْنَ ۟۠
And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white for the observers.
قَالَ لِلْمَلَاِ حَوْلَهٗۤ اِنَّ هٰذَا لَسٰحِرٌ عَلِیْمٌ ۟ۙ
[Pharaoh] said to the eminent ones around him, "Indeed, this is a learned magician.
یُّرِیْدُ اَنْ یُّخْرِجَكُمْ مِّنْ اَرْضِكُمْ بِسِحْرِهٖ ۖۗ فَمَاذَا تَاْمُرُوْنَ ۟
He wants to drive you out of your land by his magic, so what do you advise?"
قَالُوْۤا اَرْجِهْ وَاَخَاهُ وَابْعَثْ فِی الْمَدَآىِٕنِ حٰشِرِیْنَ ۟ۙ
They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers
یَاْتُوْكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِیْمٍ ۟
Who will bring you every learned, skilled magician."
فَجُمِعَ السَّحَرَةُ لِمِیْقَاتِ یَوْمٍ مَّعْلُوْمٍ ۟ۙ
So the magicians were assembled for the appointment of a well-known day.
وَّقِیْلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ اَنْتُمْ مُّجْتَمِعُوْنَ ۟ۙ
And it was said to the people, "Will you congregate
لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ السَّحَرَةَ اِنْ كَانُوْا هُمُ الْغٰلِبِیْنَ ۟
That we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant?"
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ السَّحَرَةُ قَالُوْا لِفِرْعَوْنَ اَىِٕنَّ لَنَا لَاَجْرًا اِنْ كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْغٰلِبِیْنَ ۟
And when the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, "Is there indeed for us a reward if we are the predominant?"
قَالَ نَعَمْ وَاِنَّكُمْ اِذًا لَّمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِیْنَ ۟
He said, "Yes, and indeed, you will then be of those near [to me]."
قَالَ لَهُمْ مُّوْسٰۤی اَلْقُوْا مَاۤ اَنْتُمْ مُّلْقُوْنَ ۟
Moses said to them, "Throw whatever you will throw."
فَاَلْقَوْا حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِیَّهُمْ وَقَالُوْا بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ اِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الْغٰلِبُوْنَ ۟
So they threw their ropes and their staffs and said, "By the might of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are predominant."
فَاَلْقٰی مُوْسٰی عَصَاهُ فَاِذَا هِیَ تَلْقَفُ مَا یَاْفِكُوْنَ ۟ۚۖ
Then Moses threw his staff, and at once it devoured what they falsified.
فَاُلْقِیَ السَّحَرَةُ سٰجِدِیْنَ ۟ۙ
So the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allāh].
قَالُوْۤا اٰمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ ۟ۙ
They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds,
رَبِّ مُوْسٰی وَهٰرُوْنَ ۟
The Lord of Moses and Aaron."
قَالَ اٰمَنْتُمْ لَهٗ قَبْلَ اَنْ اٰذَنَ لَكُمْ ۚ اِنَّهٗ لَكَبِیْرُكُمُ الَّذِیْ عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحْرَ ۚ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُوْنَ ؕ۬ لَاُقَطِّعَنَّ اَیْدِیَكُمْ وَاَرْجُلَكُمْ مِّنْ خِلَافٍ وَّلَاُوصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ اَجْمَعِیْنَ ۟ۚ
[Pharaoh] said, "You believed him [i.e., Moses] before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic, but you are going to know. I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you all."
قَالُوْا لَا ضَیْرَ ؗ اِنَّاۤ اِلٰی رَبِّنَا مُنْقَلِبُوْنَ ۟ۚ
They said, "No harm. Indeed, to our Lord we will return.
