قالَ رَبِّ انصُرني بِما كَذَّبونِ

He said, "My Lord, support me because they have denied me."

قالَ عَمّا قَليلٍ لَيُصبِحُنَّ نادِمينَ

[Allah] said, "After a little, they will surely become regretful."

فَأَخَذَتهُمُ الصَّيحَةُ بِالحَقِّ فَجَعَلناهُم غُثاءً ۚ فَبُعدًا لِلقَومِ الظّالِمينَ

So the shriek seized them in truth, and We made them as [plant] stubble. Then away with the wrongdoing people.

ثُمَّ أَنشَأنا مِن بَعدِهِم قُرونًا آخَرينَ

Then We produced after them other generations.

ما تَسبِقُ مِن أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَها وَما يَستَأخِرونَ

No nation will precede its time [of termination], nor will they remain [thereafter].

ثُمَّ أَرسَلنا موسىٰ وَأَخاهُ هارونَ بِآياتِنا وَسُلطانٍ مُبينٍ

Then We sent Moses and his brother Aaron with Our signs and a clear authority

إِلىٰ فِرعَونَ وَمَلَئِهِ فَاستَكبَروا وَكانوا قَومًا عالينَ

To Pharaoh and his establishment, but they were arrogant and were a haughty people.

فَقالوا أَنُؤمِنُ لِبَشَرَينِ مِثلِنا وَقَومُهُما لَنا عابِدونَ

They said, "Should we believe two men like ourselves while their people are for us in servitude?"

فَكَذَّبوهُما فَكانوا مِنَ المُهلَكينَ

So they denied them and were of those destroyed.

وَلَقَد آتَينا موسَى الكِتابَ لَعَلَّهُم يَهتَدونَ

And We certainly gave Moses the Scripture that perhaps they would be guided.
