لَعَلَّكَ بَاخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ

It may be that thou tormentest thyself (O Muhammad) because they believe not.

وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍ مِّنَ الرَّحْمَنِ مُحْدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِينَ

Never cometh there unto them a fresh reminder from the Beneficent One, but they turn away from it.

أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا إِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَمْ أَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِيمٍ

Have they not seen the earth, how much of every fruitful kind We make to grow therein?

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ

And lo! thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.

قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ

The folk of Pharaoh. Will they not ward off (evil)?

وَيَضِيقُ صَدْرِي وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِي فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَى هَارُونَ

And I shall be embarrassed, and my tongue will not speak plainly, therefor send for Aaron (to help me).

قَالَ كَلَّا فَاذْهَبَا بِآيَاتِنَا إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسْتَمِعُونَ

He said: Nay, verily. So go ye twain with Our tokens. Lo! We shall be with you, Hearing.

أَنْ أَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ

(Saying): Let the Children of Israel go with Us.

وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ الَّتِي فَعَلْتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ

And thou didst that thy deed which thou didst, and thou wast one of the ingrates,

فَفَرَرْتُ مِنكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِي رَبِّي حُكْماً وَجَعَلَنِي مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

Then I fled from you when I feared you, and my Lord vouchsafed me a command and appointed me (of the number) of those sent (by Him).

قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ

Pharaoh said: And what is the Lord of the Worlds?

قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُ أَلَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ

(Pharaoh) said unto those around him: Hear ye not?

قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ الَّذِي أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ لَمَجْنُونٌ

(Pharaoh) said: Lo! your messenger who hath been sent unto you is indeed a madman!

يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ

He said: Lord of the East and the West and all that is between them, if ye did but understand.

قَالَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَيْءٍ مُّبِينٍ

He said: Even though I show thee something plain?

فَأَلْقَى عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ ثُعْبَانٌ مُّبِينٌ

Then he Sung down his staff and it became a serpent manifest,

قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُ إِنَّ هَذَا لَسَاحِرٌ عَلِيمٌ

(Pharaoh) said unto the chiefs about him: Lo, this is verily a knowing wizard,

يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍ

Who shall bring unto thee every knowing wizard.

وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّجْتَمِعُونَ

And it was said unto the people: Are ye (also) gathering?

فَلَمَّا جَاء السَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْراً إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْغَالِبِينَ

And when the wizards came they said unto Pharaoh: Will there surely be a reward for us if we are the winners?

قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَى أَلْقُوا مَا أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ

Moses said unto them: Throw what ye are going to throw!

فَأَلْقَى مُوسَى عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ

Then Moses threw his staff and lo! it swallowed that which they did falsely show.

قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

Crying: We believe in the Lord of the Worlds,

قَالَ آمَنتُمْ لَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ آذَنَ لَكُمْ إِنَّهُ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ الَّذِي عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَافٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

(Pharaoh) said, Ye put your faith in him before I give you leave. Lo! he doubtless is your chief who taught you magic! But verily ye shall come to know. Verily I will cut off your hands and your feet alternately, and verily I will crucify you everyone.

إِنَّا نَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَايَانَا أَن كُنَّا أَوَّلَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Lo! we ardently hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we are the first of the believers.

فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِي الْمَدَائِنِ حَاشِرِينَ

Then Pharaoh sent into the cities summoners,

وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَائِظُونَ

And lo! they are offenders against us.

فَأَخْرَجْنَاهُم مِّن جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ

Thus did We take them away from gardens and water springs,

كَذَلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَاهَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ

Thus (were those things taken from them) and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit them.
