قالَ فَعَلتُها إِذًا وَأَنا مِنَ الضّالّينَ

[Moses] said, "I did it, then, while I was of those astray.

فَفَرَرتُ مِنكُم لَمّا خِفتُكُم فَوَهَبَ لي رَبّي حُكمًا وَجَعَلَني مِنَ المُرسَلينَ

So I fled from you when I feared you. Then my Lord granted me wisdom and prophethood and appointed me [as one] of the messengers.

وَتِلكَ نِعمَةٌ تَمُنُّها عَلَيَّ أَن عَبَّدتَ بَني إِسرائيلَ

And is this a favor of which you remind me - that you have enslaved the Children of Israel?"

قالَ فِرعَونُ وَما رَبُّ العالَمينَ

Said Pharaoh, "And what is the Lord of the worlds?"

قالَ رَبُّ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضِ وَما بَينَهُما ۖ إِن كُنتُم موقِنينَ

[Moses] said, "The Lord of the heavens and earth and that between them, if you should be convinced."

قالَ رَبُّكُم وَرَبُّ آبائِكُمُ الأَوَّلينَ

[Moses] said, "Your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers."

قالَ إِنَّ رَسولَكُمُ الَّذي أُرسِلَ إِلَيكُم لَمَجنونٌ

[Pharaoh] said, "Indeed, your 'messenger' who has been sent to you is mad."

قالَ رَبُّ المَشرِقِ وَالمَغرِبِ وَما بَينَهُما ۖ إِن كُنتُم تَعقِلونَ

[Moses] said, "Lord of the east and the west and that between them, if you were to reason."

قالَ لَئِنِ اتَّخَذتَ إِلـٰهًا غَيري لَأَجعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ المَسجونينَ

[Pharaoh] said, "If you take a god other than me, I will surely place you among those imprisoned."

قالَ أَوَلَو جِئتُكَ بِشَيءٍ مُبينٍ

[Moses] said, "Even if I brought you proof manifest?"
