فَلَمّا جاءَهُم موسىٰ بِآياتِنا بَيِّناتٍ قالوا ما هـٰذا إِلّا سِحرٌ مُفتَرًى وَما سَمِعنا بِهـٰذا في آبائِنَا الأَوَّلينَ

But when Moses came to them with Our signs as clear evidences, they said, "This is not except invented magic, and we have not heard of this [religion] among our forefathers."

وَقالَ موسىٰ رَبّي أَعلَمُ بِمَن جاءَ بِالهُدىٰ مِن عِندِهِ وَمَن تَكونُ لَهُ عاقِبَةُ الدّارِ ۖ إِنَّهُ لا يُفلِحُ الظّالِمونَ

And Moses said, "My Lord is more knowing [than we or you] of who has come with guidance from Him and to whom will be succession in the home. Indeed, wrongdoers do not succeed."

وَقالَ فِرعَونُ يا أَيُّهَا المَلَأُ ما عَلِمتُ لَكُم مِن إِلـٰهٍ غَيري فَأَوقِد لي يا هامانُ عَلَى الطّينِ فَاجعَل لي صَرحًا لَعَلّي أَطَّلِعُ إِلىٰ إِلـٰهِ موسىٰ وَإِنّي لَأَظُنُّهُ مِنَ الكاذِبينَ

And Pharaoh said, "O eminent ones, I have not known you to have a god other than me. Then ignite for me, O Haman, [a fire] upon the clay and make for me a tower that I may look at the God of Moses. And indeed, I do think he is among the liars."

وَاستَكبَرَ هُوَ وَجُنودُهُ فِي الأَرضِ بِغَيرِ الحَقِّ وَظَنّوا أَنَّهُم إِلَينا لا يُرجَعونَ

And he was arrogant, he and his soldiers, in the land, without right, and they thought that they would not be returned to Us.

فَأَخَذناهُ وَجُنودَهُ فَنَبَذناهُم فِي اليَمِّ ۖ فَانظُر كَيفَ كانَ عاقِبَةُ الظّالِمينَ

So We took him and his soldiers and threw them into the sea. So see how was the end of the wrongdoers.

وَأَتبَعناهُم في هـٰذِهِ الدُّنيا لَعنَةً ۖ وَيَومَ القِيامَةِ هُم مِنَ المَقبوحينَ

And We caused to overtake them in this world a curse, and on the Day of Resurrection they will be of the despised.

وَلَقَد آتَينا موسَى الكِتابَ مِن بَعدِ ما أَهلَكنَا القُرونَ الأولىٰ بَصائِرَ لِلنّاسِ وَهُدًى وَرَحمَةً لَعَلَّهُم يَتَذَكَّرونَ

And We gave Moses the Scripture, after We had destroyed the former generations, as enlightenment for the people and guidance and mercy that they might be reminded.

وَما كُنتَ بِجانِبِ الغَربِيِّ إِذ قَضَينا إِلىٰ موسَى الأَمرَ وَما كُنتَ مِنَ الشّاهِدينَ

And you, [O Muhammad], were not on the western side [of the mount] when We revealed to Moses the command, and you were not among the witnesses [to that].

وَلـٰكِنّا أَنشَأنا قُرونًا فَتَطاوَلَ عَلَيهِمُ العُمُرُ ۚ وَما كُنتَ ثاوِيًا في أَهلِ مَديَنَ تَتلو عَلَيهِم آياتِنا وَلـٰكِنّا كُنّا مُرسِلينَ

But We produced [many] generations [after Moses], and prolonged was their duration. And you were not a resident among the people of Madyan, reciting to them Our verses, but We were senders [of this message].

وَما كُنتَ بِجانِبِ الطّورِ إِذ نادَينا وَلـٰكِن رَحمَةً مِن رَبِّكَ لِتُنذِرَ قَومًا ما أَتاهُم مِن نَذيرٍ مِن قَبلِكَ لَعَلَّهُم يَتَذَكَّرونَ

And you were not at the side of the mount when We called [Moses] but [were sent] as a mercy from your Lord to warn a people to whom no warner had come before you that they might be reminded.
