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... "

فَأَخرَجناهُم مِن جَنّاتٍ وَعُيونٍ

So We removed them from gardens and springs

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."

فَأَوحَينا إِلىٰ موسىٰ أَنِ اضرِب بِعَصاكَ البَحرَ ۖ فَانفَلَقَ فَكانَ كُلُّ فِرقٍ كَالطَّودِ العَظيمِ

Then We inspired to Moses, "Strike with your staff the sea," and it parted, and each portion was like a great towering mountain.
