til'ka āyātu l-kitābi l-mubīni
These are the verses of the clear Book.
laʿallaka bākhiʿun nafsaka allā yakūnū mu'minīna
Perhaps you ˹O Prophet˺ will grieve yourself to death over their disbelief.
in nasha nunazzil ʿalayhim mina l-samāi āyatan faẓallat aʿnāquhum lahā khāḍiʿīna
If We willed, We could send down upon them a ˹compelling˺ sign from the heavens, leaving their necks bent in ˹utter˺ submission to it.
wamā yatīhim min dhik'rin mina l-raḥmāni muḥ'dathin illā kānū ʿanhu muʿ'riḍīna
Whatever new reminder comes to them from the Most Compassionate, they always turn away from it.
faqad kadhabū fasayatīhim anbāu mā kānū bihi yastahziūna
They have certainly denied ˹the truth˺, so they will soon face the consequences of their ridicule.
awalam yaraw ilā l-arḍi kam anbatnā fīhā min kulli zawjin karīmin
Have they failed to look at the earth, ˹to see˺ how many types of fine plants We have caused to grow in it?
inna fī dhālika laāyatan wamā kāna aktharuhum mu'minīna
Surely in this is a sign. Yet most of them would not believe.
wa-inna rabbaka lahuwa l-ʿazīzu l-raḥīmu
And your Lord is certainly the Almighty, Most Merciful.
wa-idh nādā rabbuka mūsā ani i'ti l-qawma l-ẓālimīna
˹Remember˺ when your Lord called out to Moses, “Go to the wrongdoing people—
qawma fir'ʿawna alā yattaqūna
the people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear ˹Allah˺?”
qāla rabbi innī akhāfu an yukadhibūni
He replied, “My Lord! I fear that they will reject me.
wayaḍīqu ṣadrī walā yanṭaliqu lisānī fa-arsil ilā hārūna
And ˹so˺ my heart will be broken and my tongue will be tied. So send Aaron along ˹as a messenger˺.
walahum ʿalayya dhanbun fa-akhāfu an yaqtulūni
Also, they have a charge against me, so I fear they may kill me.”
qāla kallā fa-idh'habā biāyātinā innā maʿakum mus'tamiʿūna
Allah responded, “Certainly not! So go, both of you, with Our signs. We will be with you, listening.
fatiyā fir'ʿawna faqūlā innā rasūlu rabbi l-ʿālamīna
Go to Pharaoh and say, ‘We are messengers from the Lord of all worlds,
an arsil maʿanā banī is'rāīla
˹commanded to say:˺ ‘Let the Children of Israel go with us.’’”
qāla alam nurabbika fīnā walīdan walabith'ta fīnā min ʿumurika sinīna
Pharaoh protested, “Did we not raise you among us as a child, and you stayed several years of your life in our care?
wafaʿalta faʿlataka allatī faʿalta wa-anta mina l-kāfirīna
Then you did what you did, being ˹utterly˺ ungrateful!”
qāla faʿaltuhā idhan wa-anā mina l-ḍālīna
Moses replied, “I did it then, lacking guidance.
fafarartu minkum lammā khif'tukum fawahaba lī rabbī ḥuk'man wajaʿalanī mina l-mur'salīna
So I fled from you when I feared you. Then my Lord granted me wisdom and made me one of the messengers.
watil'ka niʿ'matun tamunnuhā ʿalayya an ʿabbadtta banī is'rāīla
How can that be a ‘favour,’ of which you remind me, when ˹it was only because˺ you ˹have˺ enslaved the Children of Israel?”
qāla fir'ʿawnu wamā rabbu l-ʿālamīna
Pharaoh asked, “And what is ‘the Lord of all worlds’?”
qāla rabbu l-samāwāti wal-arḍi wamā baynahumā in kuntum mūqinīna
Moses replied, “˹He is˺ the Lord of the heavens and the earth and everything in between, if only you had sure faith.”
qāla liman ḥawlahu alā tastamiʿūna
Pharaoh said to those around him, “Did you hear ˹what he said˺?”
qāla rabbukum warabbu ābāikumu l-awalīna
Moses added, “˹He is˺ your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers.”
qāla inna rasūlakumu alladhī ur'sila ilaykum lamajnūnun
Pharaoh said ˹mockingly˺, “Your messenger, who has been sent to you, must be insane.”
qāla rabbu l-mashriqi wal-maghribi wamā baynahumā in kuntum taʿqilūna
Moses responded: “˹He is˺ the Lord of the east and west, and everything in between, if only you had any sense.”
qāla la-ini ittakhadhta ilāhan ghayrī la-ajʿalannaka mina l-masjūnīna
Pharaoh threatened, “If you take any other god besides me, I will certainly have you imprisoned.”
qāla awalaw ji'tuka bishayin mubīnin
Moses responded, “Even if I bring you a clear proof?”
