فَأتِياهُ فَقولا إِنّا رَسولا رَبِّكَ فَأَرسِل مَعَنا بَني إِسرائيلَ وَلا تُعَذِّبهُم ۖ قَد جِئناكَ بِآيَةٍ مِن رَبِّكَ ۖ وَالسَّلامُ عَلىٰ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ الهُدىٰ

So go to him and say, 'Indeed, we are messengers of your Lord, so send with us the Children of Israel and do not torment them. We have come to you with a sign from your Lord. And peace will be upon he who follows the guidance.

إِنّا قَد أوحِيَ إِلَينا أَنَّ العَذابَ عَلىٰ مَن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلّىٰ

Indeed, it has been revealed to us that the punishment will be upon whoever denies and turns away.' "

قالَ فَمَن رَبُّكُما يا موسىٰ

[Pharaoh] said, "So who is the Lord of you two, O Moses?"

قالَ رَبُّنَا الَّذي أَعطىٰ كُلَّ شَيءٍ خَلقَهُ ثُمَّ هَدىٰ

He said, "Our Lord is He who gave each thing its form and then guided [it]."

قالَ فَما بالُ القُرونِ الأولىٰ

[Pharaoh] said, "Then what is the case of the former generations?"

الَّذي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الأَرضَ مَهدًا وَسَلَكَ لَكُم فيها سُبُلًا وَأَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً فَأَخرَجنا بِهِ أَزواجًا مِن نَباتٍ شَتّىٰ

[It is He] who has made for you the earth as a bed [spread out] and inserted therein for you roadways and sent down from the sky, rain and produced thereby categories of various plants.

كُلوا وَارعَوا أَنعامَكُم ۗ إِنَّ في ذٰلِكَ لَآياتٍ لِأُولِي النُّهىٰ

Eat [therefrom] and pasture your livestock. Indeed, in that are signs for those of intelligence.

مِنها خَلَقناكُم وَفيها نُعيدُكُم وَمِنها نُخرِجُكُم تارَةً أُخرىٰ

From the earth We created you, and into it We will return you, and from it We will extract you another time.

وَلَقَد أَرَيناهُ آياتِنا كُلَّها فَكَذَّبَ وَأَبىٰ

And We certainly showed Pharaoh Our signs - all of them - but he denied and refused.

قالَ أَجِئتَنا لِتُخرِجَنا مِن أَرضِنا بِسِحرِكَ يا موسىٰ

He said, "Have you come to us to drive us out of our land with your magic, O Moses?
