(2) These are the verses of the clear Book.

Ayah: 3

لَعَلَّكَ بَٰخِعٞ نَّفۡسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُواْ مُؤۡمِنِينَ

Ayah: 4

إِن نَّشَأۡ نُنَزِّلۡ عَلَيۡهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةٗ فَظَلَّتۡ أَعۡنَٰقُهُمۡ لَهَا خَٰضِعِينَ

(4) If We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for which their necks would remain humbled.^[1044]

[1044]- i.e., they would be compelled to believe.

Ayah: 5

وَمَا يَأۡتِيهِم مِّن ذِكۡرٖ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ مُحۡدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُواْ عَنۡهُ مُعۡرِضِينَ

Ayah: 6

فَقَدۡ كَذَّبُواْ فَسَيَأۡتِيهِمۡ أَنۢبَٰٓؤُاْ مَا كَانُواْ بِهِۦ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُونَ

(6) For they have already denied, but there will come to them the news of that which they used to ridicule.

Ayah: 7

أَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡاْ إِلَى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ كَمۡ أَنۢبَتۡنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوۡجٖ كَرِيمٍ

(7) Did they not look at the earth - how much We have produced therein from every noble kind?

Ayah: 8

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

(8) Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

وَإِذۡ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئۡتِ ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

(10) And [mention] when your Lord called Moses, [saying], "Go to the wrongdoing people -

قَوۡمَ فِرۡعَوۡنَۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ

(11) The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear Allāh?"

Ayah: 12

قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّيٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ

Ayah: 14

وَلَهُمۡ عَلَيَّ ذَنۢبٞ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقۡتُلُونِ

(14) And they have upon me a [claim due to] sin, so I fear that they will kill me."

Ayah: 15

قَالَ كَلَّاۖ فَٱذۡهَبَا بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسۡتَمِعُونَ

(15) [Allāh] said, "No. Go both of you with Our signs; indeed, We are with you, listening.

Ayah: 16

فَأۡتِيَا فِرۡعَوۡنَ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

(16) Go to Pharaoh and say, 'We are the messengers^[1045] of the Lord of the worlds,

[1045]- The singular form in Arabic indicates that both were sent with a single message.

Ayah: 19

وَفَعَلۡتَ فَعۡلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِي فَعَلۡتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ

(19) And [then] you did your deed which you did,^[1046] and you were of the ungrateful."

[1046]- i.e., striking the Copt, who died as a result.

Ayah: 20

قَالَ فَعَلۡتُهَآ إِذٗا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ

(20) [Moses] said, "I did it, then, while I was of those astray [i.e., ignorant].

Ayah: 21

فَفَرَرۡتُ مِنكُمۡ لَمَّا خِفۡتُكُمۡ فَوَهَبَ لِي رَبِّي حُكۡمٗا وَجَعَلَنِي مِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

(21) So I fled from you when I feared you. Then my Lord granted me judgement [i.e., wisdom and prophethood] and appointed me [as one] of the messengers.

Ayah: 22

وَتِلۡكَ نِعۡمَةٞ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَيَّ أَنۡ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ

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

فَأَلۡقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ ثُعۡبَانٞ مُّبِينٞ

(32) So [Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent manifest.^[1048]

[1048]- i.e., clearly genuine.

[1049]- i.e., the morning of the day of festival. See 20:58-59.

Ayah: 39

وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلۡ أَنتُم مُّجۡتَمِعُونَ

(39) And it was said to the people, "Will you congregate

Ayah: 40

لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُواْ هُمُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ

(40) That we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant?"

Ayah: 41

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُواْ لِفِرۡعَوۡنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجۡرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحۡنُ ٱلۡغَٰلِبِينَ

(41) And when the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, "Is there indeed for us a reward if we are the predominant?"

Ayah: 42

قَالَ نَعَمۡ وَإِنَّكُمۡ إِذٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡمُقَرَّبِينَ

(42) He said, "Yes, and indeed, you will then be of those near [to me]."

Ayah: 43

قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلۡقُواْ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلۡقُونَ

(43) Moses said to them, "Throw whatever you will throw."

رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ

(48) The Lord of Moses and Aaron."

(49) [Pharaoh] said, "You believed him [i.e., Moses] before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic, but you are going to know. I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you all."

Ayah: 50

قَالُواْ لَا ضَيۡرَۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ

(51) Indeed, we aspire that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we were the first of the believers."

Ayah: 52

۞ وَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنۡ أَسۡرِ بِعِبَادِيٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ

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

Ayah: 53

فَأَرۡسَلَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ فِي ٱلۡمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ

(53) Then Pharaoh sent among the cities gatherers^[1050]

[1050]- Recruiters of an army to prevent the emigration of the Children of Israel.

Ayah: 54

إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرۡذِمَةٞ قَلِيلُونَ

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

Ayah: 55

وَإِنَّهُمۡ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ

(55) And indeed, they are enraging us,

Ayah: 56

وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَٰذِرُونَ

(56) And indeed, we are a cautious society..."

Ayah: 57

فَأَخۡرَجۡنَٰهُم مِّن جَنَّٰتٖ وَعُيُونٖ

(57) So We removed them from gardens and springs

Ayah: 58

وَكُنُوزٖ وَمَقَامٖ كَرِيمٖ

(58) And treasures and honorable station^[1051] -

[1051]- Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿālā) caused them to abandon their wealth and property in pursuit of the Israelites.

Ayah: 59

كَذَٰلِكَۖ وَأَوۡرَثۡنَٰهَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ

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

Ayah: 60

فَأَتۡبَعُوهُم مُّشۡرِقِينَ

(60) So they pursued them at sunrise.

Ayah: 61

فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلۡجَمۡعَانِ قَالَ أَصۡحَٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدۡرَكُونَ

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

Ayah: 62

قَالَ كَلَّآۖ إِنَّ مَعِيَ رَبِّي سَيَهۡدِينِ

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

Ayah: 63

فَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضۡرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلۡبَحۡرَۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرۡقٖ كَٱلطَّوۡدِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

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

Ayah: 64

وَأَزۡلَفۡنَا ثَمَّ ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

(64) And We advanced thereto the others [i.e., the pursuers].

Ayah: 65

وَأَنجَيۡنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ

(65) And We saved Moses and those with him, all together.

Ayah: 66

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

(66) Then We drowned the others.

Ayah: 67

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

(67) Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.

Ayah: 68

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

(68) And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.

Ayah: 69

وَٱتۡلُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ نَبَأَ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ

(69) And recite to them the news of Abraham,

Ayah: 70

إِذۡ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوۡمِهِۦ مَا تَعۡبُدُونَ

(70) When he said to his father and his people, "What do you worship?"

Ayah: 71

قَالُواْ نَعۡبُدُ أَصۡنَامٗا فَنَظَلُّ لَهَا عَٰكِفِينَ

(71) They said, "We worship idols and remain to them devoted."

Ayah: 72

قَالَ هَلۡ يَسۡمَعُونَكُمۡ إِذۡ تَدۡعُونَ

(72) He said, "Do they hear you when you supplicate?

Ayah: 73

أَوۡ يَنفَعُونَكُمۡ أَوۡ يَضُرُّونَ

(73) Or do they benefit you, or do they harm?"

Ayah: 74

قَالُواْ بَلۡ وَجَدۡنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا كَذَٰلِكَ يَفۡعَلُونَ

(74) They said, "But we found our fathers doing thus."

قَالَ أَفَرَءَيۡتُم مَّا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡبُدُونَ

(75) He said, "Then do you see what you have been worshipping,

أَنتُمۡ وَءَابَآؤُكُمُ ٱلۡأَقۡدَمُونَ

(76) You and your ancient forefathers?

Ayah: 77

فَإِنَّهُمۡ عَدُوّٞ لِّيٓ إِلَّا رَبَّ ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ

(77) Indeed, they are enemies to me, except the Lord of the worlds,^[1052]

[1052]- The people worshipped idols in addition to Allāh.

Ayah: 78

ٱلَّذِي خَلَقَنِي فَهُوَ يَهۡدِينِ
