وَأَوحَينا إِلىٰ موسىٰ أَن أَسرِ بِعِبادي إِنَّكُم مُتَّبَعونَ

And We inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants; indeed, you will be pursued."

فَأَرسَلَ فِرعَونُ فِي المَدائِنِ حاشِرينَ

Then Pharaoh sent among the cities gatherers

إِنَّ هـٰؤُلاءِ لَشِرذِمَةٌ قَليلونَ

[And said], "Indeed, those are but a small band,

وَإِنَّهُم لَنا لَغائِظونَ

And indeed, they are enraging us,

وَإِنّا لَجَميعٌ حاذِرونَ

And indeed, we are a cautious society... "

وَكُنوزٍ وَمَقامٍ كَريمٍ

And treasures and honorable station -

كَذٰلِكَ وَأَورَثناها بَني إِسرائيلَ

Thus. And We caused to inherit it the Children of Israel.

فَأَتبَعوهُم مُشرِقينَ

So they pursued them at sunrise.

فَلَمّا تَراءَى الجَمعانِ قالَ أَصحابُ موسىٰ إِنّا لَمُدرَكونَ

And when the two companies saw one another, the companions of Moses said, "Indeed, we are to be overtaken!"

قالَ كَلّا ۖ إِنَّ مَعِيَ رَبّي سَيَهدينِ

[Moses] said, "No! Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me."
