We have not sent down the Qur'an to thee to be (an occasion) for thy distress,

"Behold! thy sister goeth forth and saith, 'shall I show you one who will nurse and rear the (child)?' So We brought thee back to thy mother, that her eye might be cooled and she should not grieve.

Then didst thou come hither as ordained, O Moses!

"He Who has, made for you the earth like a carpet spread out; has enabled you to go about therein by roads (and channels); and has sent down water from the sky." With it have We produced diverse pairs of plants each separate from the others.

قال أجئتنا لتخرجنا من أرضنا بسحرك يا موسى
Falanatiyannaka bisihrin mithlihi faijAAal baynana wabaynaka mawAAidan la nukhlifuhu nahnu wala anta makanan suwan
"But we can surely produce magic to match thine! So make a tryst between us and thee, which we shall not fail to keep - neither we nor thou - in a place where both shall have even chances."

Moses said to him: Woe to you! Forge not ye a lie against Allah, lest He destroy you (at once) utterly by chastisement: the forger must suffer frustration!"
قال لهم موسى ويلكم لا تفتروا على الله كذبا فيسحتكم بعذاب ۖ وقد خاب من افترى
FatanazaAAoo amrahum baynahum waasarroo alnnajwa
So they disputed, one with another, over their affair, but they kept their talk secret.
فتنازعوا أمرهم بينهم وأسروا النجوى
Qaloo in hathani lasahirani yureedani an yukhrijakum min ardikum bisihrihima wayathhaba bitareeqatikumu almuthla
They said: "These two are certainly (expert) magicians: their object is to drive you out from your land with their magic, and to do away with your most cherished institutions.
قالوا إن هذان لساحران يريدان أن يخرجاكم من أرضكم بسحرهما ويذهبا بطريقتكم المثلى
FaajmiAAoo kaydakum thumma itoo saffan waqad aflaha alyawma mani istaAAla
"Therefore concert your plan, and then assemble in (serried) ranks: He wins (all along) today who gains the upper hand."
فأجمعوا كيدكم ثم ائتوا صفا ۚ وقد أفلح اليوم من استعلى
Qaloo ya moosa imma an tulqiya waimma an nakoona awwala man alqa
They said: "O Moses! whether wilt thou that thou throw (first) or that we be the first to throw?"
قالوا يا موسى إما أن تلقي وإما أن نكون أول من ألقى
Qala bal alqoo faitha hibaluhum waAAisiyyuhum yukhayyalu ilayhi min sihrihim annaha tasAAa
He said, "Nay, throw ye first!" Then behold their ropes and their rods - so it seemed to him on account of their magic - began to be in lively motion!
قال بل ألقوا ۖ فإذا حبالهم وعصيهم يخيل إليه من سحرهم أنها تسعى

So Moses conceived in his mind a (sort of) fear.
فأوجس في نفسه خيفة موسى
Qulna la takhaf innaka anta alaAAla
We said: "Fear not! for thou hast indeed the upper hand:
قلنا لا تخف إنك أنت الأعلى
Waalqi ma fee yameenika talqaf ma sanaAAoo innama sanaAAoo kaydu sahirin wala yuflihu alssahiru haythu ata
"Throw that which is in thy right hand: Quickly will it swallow up that which they have faked what they have faked is but a magician's trick: and the magician thrives not, (no matter) where he goes."
وألق ما في يمينك تلقف ما صنعوا ۖ إنما صنعوا كيد ساحر ۖ ولا يفلح الساحر حيث أتى
Faolqiya alssaharatu sujjadan qaloo amanna birabbi haroona wamoosa
So the magicians were thrown down to prostration: they said, "We believe in the Lord of Aaron and Moses".
فألقي السحرة سجدا قالوا آمنا برب هارون وموسى
Qala amantum lahu qabla an athana lakum innahu lakabeerukumu allathee AAallamakumu alssihra falaoqattiAAanna aydiyakum waarjulakum min khilafin walaosallibannakum fee juthooAAi alnnakhli walataAAlamunna ayyuna ashaddu AAathaban waabqa
(Pharaoh) said: "Believe ye in Him before I give you permission? Surely this must be your leader, who has taught you magic! be sure I will cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, and I will have you crucified on trunks of palm - trees: so shall ye know for certain, which of us can give the more severe and the more lasting punishment!"
قال آمنتم له قبل أن آذن لكم ۖ إنه لكبيركم الذي علمكم السحر ۖ فلأقطعن أيديكم وأرجلكم من خلاف ولأصلبنكم في جذوع النخل ولتعلمن أينا أشد عذابا وأبقى
Qaloo lan nuthiraka AAala ma jaana mina albayyinati waallathee fatarana faiqdi ma anta qadin innama taqdee hathihi alhayata alddunya
They said: "Never shall we regard thee as more than the Clear Signs that have come to us, or than Him Who created us! so decree whatever thou desirest to decree: for thou canst only decree (touching) the life of this world.
قالوا لن نؤثرك على ما جاءنا من البينات والذي فطرنا ۖ فاقض ما أنت قاض ۖ إنما تقضي هذه الحياة الدنيا
Inna amanna birabbina liyaghfira lana khatayana wama akrahtana AAalayhi mina alssihri waAllahu khayrun waabqa
"For us, we have believed in our Lord: may He forgive us our faults, and the magic to which thou didst compel us: for Allah is Best and Most Abiding."
إنا آمنا بربنا ليغفر لنا خطايانا وما أكرهتنا عليه من السحر ۗ والله خير وأبقى
Innahu man yati rabbahu mujriman fainna lahu jahannama la yamootu feeha wala yahya
Verily he who comes to his Lord as a sinner (at Judgment), - for him is Hell: therein shall he neither die nor live.
إنه من يأت ربه مجرما فإن له جهنم لا يموت فيها ولا يحيى
Waman yatihi muminan qad AAamila alssalihati faolaika lahumu alddarajatu alAAula
But such as come to Him as Believers who have worked righteous deeds, - for them are ranks exalted, -
ومن يأته مؤمنا قد عمل الصالحات فأولئك لهم الدرجات العلى
Jannatu AAadnin tajree min tahtiha alanharu khalideena feeha wathalika jazao man tazakka
Gardens of Eternity, beneath which flow rivers: they will dwell therein for aye: such is the reward of those who purify themselves (from evil).
جنات عدن تجري من تحتها الأنهار خالدين فيها ۚ وذلك جزاء من تزكى
Walaqad awhayna ila moosa an asri biAAibadee faidrib lahum tareeqan fee albahri yabasan la takhafu darakan wala takhsha
We sent an inspiration to Moses: "Travel by night with My servants, and strike a dry path for them through the sea, without fear of being overtaken (by Pharaoh) and without (any other) fear."
ولقد أوحينا إلى موسى أن أسر بعبادي فاضرب لهم طريقا في البحر يبسا لا تخاف دركا ولا تخشى

Then Pharaoh pursued them with his forces, but the waters completely overwhelmed them and covered them up.
فأتبعهم فرعون بجنوده فغشيهم من اليم ما غشيهم
Waadalla firAAawnu qawmahu wama hada
Pharaoh led his people astray instead of leading them aright.
وأضل فرعون قومه وما هدى
Ya banee israeela qad anjaynakum min AAaduwwikum wawaAAadnakum janiba alttoori alaymana wanazzalna AAalaykumu almanna waalssalwa
O ye Children of Israel! We delivered you from your enemy, and We made a Covenant with you on the right side of Mount (Sinai), and We sent down to you Manna and quails:
يا بني إسرائيل قد أنجيناكم من عدوكم وواعدناكم جانب الطور الأيمن ونزلنا عليكم المن والسلوى
Kuloo min tayyibati ma razaqnakum wala tatghaw feehi fayahilla AAalaykum ghadabee waman yahlil AAalayhi ghadabee faqad hawa
(Saying): "Eat of the good things We have provided for your sustenance, but commit no excess therein, lest My Wrath should justly descend on you: and those on whom descends My Wrath do perish indeed!
كلوا من طيبات ما رزقناكم ولا تطغوا فيه فيحل عليكم غضبي ۖ ومن يحلل عليه غضبي فقد هوى
Wainnee laghaffarun liman taba waamana waAAamila salihan thumma ihtada
"But, without doubt, I am (also) He that forgives again and again, to those who repent, believe, and do right, who, - in fine, are ready to receive true guidance."
وإني لغفار لمن تاب وآمن وعمل صالحا ثم اهتدى

So Moses returned to his people in a state of indignation and sorrow. He said: "O my people! did not your Lord make a handsome promise to you? Did then the promise seem to you long (in coming)? Or did ye desire that Wrath should descend from your Lord on you, and so ye broke your promise to me?"
فرجع موسى إلى قومه غضبان أسفا ۚ قال يا قوم ألم يعدكم ربكم وعدا حسنا ۚ أفطال عليكم العهد أم أردتم أن يحل عليكم غضب من ربكم فأخلفتم موعدي

They said: "We broke not the promise to thee, as far as lay in our power: but we were made to carry the weight of the ornaments of the (whole) people, and we threw them (into the fire), and that was what the Samiri suggested.
قالوا ما أخلفنا موعدك بملكنا ولكنا حملنا أوزارا من زينة القوم فقذفناها فكذلك ألقى السامري

"Then he brought out (of the fire) before the (people) the image of a calf: It seemed to low: so they said: This is your god, and the god of Moses, but (Moses) has forgotten!"
فأخرج لهم عجلا جسدا له خوار فقالوا هذا إلهكم وإله موسى فنسي
Afala yarawna alla yarjiAAu ilayhim qawlan wala yamliku lahum darran wala nafAAan
Could they not see that it could not return them a word (for answer), and that it had no power either to harm them or to do them good?
أفلا يرون ألا يرجع إليهم قولا ولا يملك لهم ضرا ولا نفعا

Aaron had already, before this said to them: "O my people! ye are being tested in this: for verily your Lord is (Allah) Most Gracious; so follow me and obey my command."

(Moses) said: "O Aaron! what kept thee back, when thou sawest them going wrong,

قال يا ابن أم لا تأخذ بلحيتي ولا برأسي ۖ إني خشيت أن تقول فرقت بين بني إسرائيل ولم ترقب قولي
Qala fama khatbuka ya samiriyyu
(Moses) said: "What then is thy case, O Samiri?"

He replied: "I saw what they saw not: so I took a handful (of dust) from the footprint of the Messenger, and threw it (into the calf): thus did my soul suggest to me."

(Moses) said: "Get thee gone! but thy (punishment) in this life will be that thou wilt say, 'touch me not'; and moreover (for a future penalty) thou hast a promise that will not fail: Now look at thy god, of whom thou hast become a devoted worshipper: We will certainly (melt) it in a blazing fire and scatter it broadcast in the sea!"
قال فاذهب فإن لك في الحياة أن تقول لا مساس ۖ وإن لك موعدا لن تخلفه ۖ وانظر إلى إلهك الذي ظلت عليه عاكفا ۖ لنحرقنه ثم لننسفنه في اليم نسفا

But the god of you all is the One Allah: there is no god but He: all things He comprehends in His knowledge.

Thus do We relate to thee some stories of what happened before: for We have sent thee a Message from Our own Presence.

If any do turn away therefrom, verily they will bear a burden on the Day of judgment;
من أعرض عنه فإنه يحمل يوم القيامة وزرا

On that Day will they follow the Caller (straight): no crookedness (can they show) him: all sounds shall humble themselves in the Presence of (Allah) Most Gracious: nothing shalt thou hear but the tramp of their feet (as they march).
يومئذ يتبعون الداعي لا عوج له ۖ وخشعت الأصوات للرحمن فلا تسمع إلا همسا
Yawmaithin la tanfaAAu alshshafaAAatu illa man athina lahu alrrahmanu waradiya lahu qawlan
On that Day shall no intercession avail except for those for whom permission has been granted by (Allah) Most Gracious and whose word is acceptable to Him.
يومئذ لا تنفع الشفاعة إلا من أذن له الرحمن ورضي له قولا
YaAAlamu ma bayna aydeehim wama khalfahum wala yuheetoona bihi AAilman
He knows what (appears to His creatures as) before or after or behind them: but they shall not compass it with their knowledge.
يعلم ما بين أيديهم وما خلفهم ولا يحيطون به علما
WaAAanati alwujoohu lilhayyi alqayyoomi waqad khaba man hamala thulman
(All) faces shall be humbled before (Him) - the Living, the Self - Subsisting, Eternal: hopeless indeed will be the man that carries iniquity (on his back).
۞ وعنت الوجوه للحي القيوم ۖ وقد خاب من حمل ظلما
Waman yaAAmal mina alssalihati wahuwa muminun fala yakhafu thulman wala hadman
But he who works deeds of righteousness, and has faith, will have no fear of harm nor of any curtailment (of what is his due).
ومن يعمل من الصالحات وهو مؤمن فلا يخاف ظلما ولا هضما
Wakathalika anzalnahu quranan AAarabiyyan wasarrafna feehi mina alwaAAeedi laAAallahum yattaqoona aw yuhdithu lahum thikran
Thus have We sent this down - an arabic Qur'an - and explained therein in detail some of the warnings, in order that they may fear Allah, or that it may cause their remembrance (of Him).
وكذلك أنزلناه قرآنا عربيا وصرفنا فيه من الوعيد لعلهم يتقون أو يحدث لهم ذكرا
FataAAala Allahu almaliku alhaqqu wala taAAjal bialqurani min qabli an yuqda ilayka wahyuhu waqul rabbi zidnee AAilman
High above all is Allah, the King, the Truth! Be not in haste with the Qur'an before its revelation to thee is completed, but say, "O my Lord! advance me in knowledge."
فتعالى الله الملك الحق ۗ ولا تعجل بالقرآن من قبل أن يقضى إليك وحيه ۖ وقل رب زدني علما
Walaqad AAahidna ila adama min qablu fanasiya walam najid lahu AAazman
We had already, beforehand, taken the covenant of Adam, but he forgot: and We found on his part no firm resolve.
ولقد عهدنا إلى آدم من قبل فنسي ولم نجد له عزما
Waith qulna lilmalaikati osjudoo liadama fasajadoo illa ibleesa aba
When We said to the angels, "Prostrate yourselves to Adam", they prostrated themselves, but not Iblis: he refused.
وإذ قلنا للملائكة اسجدوا لآدم فسجدوا إلا إبليس أبى
Faqulna ya adamu inna hatha AAaduwwun laka walizawjika fala yukhrijannakuma mina aljannati fatashqa
Then We said: "O Adam! verily, this is an enemy to thee and thy wife: so let him not get you both out of the Garden, so that thou art landed in misery.
فقلنا يا آدم إن هذا عدو لك ولزوجك فلا يخرجنكما من الجنة فتشقى
Inna laka alla tajooAAa feeha wala taAAra
"There is therein (enough provision) for thee not to go hungry nor to go naked,
إن لك ألا تجوع فيها ولا تعرى
Waannaka la tathmao feeha wala tadha
"Nor to suffer from thirst, nor from the sun's heat."
وأنك لا تظمأ فيها ولا تضحى
Fawaswasa ilayhi alshshaytanu qala ya adamu hal adulluka AAala shajarati alkhuldi wamulkin la yabla
But Satan whispered evil to him: he said, "O Adam! shall I lead thee to the Tree of Eternity and to a kingdom that never decays?"
فوسوس إليه الشيطان قال يا آدم هل أدلك على شجرة الخلد وملك لا يبلى
Faakala minha fabadat lahuma sawatuhuma watafiqa yakhsifani AAalayhima min waraqi aljannati waAAasa adamu rabbahu faghawa
In the result, they both ate of the tree, and so their nakedness appeared to them: they began to sew together, for their covering, leaves from the Garden: thus did Adam disobey his Lord, and allow himself to be seduced.
فأكلا منها فبدت لهما سوآتهما وطفقا يخصفان عليهما من ورق الجنة ۚ وعصى آدم ربه فغوى
Thumma ijtabahu rabbuhu fataba AAalayhi wahada
But his Lord chose him (for His Grace): He turned to him, and gave him Guidance.
ثم اجتباه ربه فتاب عليه وهدى
Qala ihbita minha jameeAAan baAAdukum libaAAdin AAaduwwun faimma yatiyannakum minnee hudan famani ittabaAAa hudaya fala yadillu wala yashqa
He said: "Get ye down, both of you, - all together, from the Garden, with enmity one to another: but if, as is sure, there comes to you Guidance from Me, whosoever follows My Guidance, will not lose his way, nor fall into misery.
قال اهبطا منها جميعا ۖ بعضكم لبعض عدو ۖ فإما يأتينكم مني هدى فمن اتبع هداي فلا يضل ولا يشقى
Waman aAArada AAan thikree fainna lahu maAAeeshatan dankan wanahshuruhu yawma alqiyamati aAAman
"But whosoever turns away from My Message, verily for him is a life narrowed down, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Judgment."
ومن أعرض عن ذكري فإن له معيشة ضنكا ونحشره يوم القيامة أعمى
Qala rabbi lima hashartanee aAAma waqad kuntu baseeran
He will say: "O my Lord! why hast Thou raised me up blind, while I had sight (before)?"
قال رب لم حشرتني أعمى وقد كنت بصيرا
Qala kathalika atatka ayatuna fanaseetaha wakathalika alyawma tunsa
(Allah) will say: "Thus didst Thou, when Our Signs came unto thee, disregard them: so wilt thou, this day, be disregarded."
قال كذلك أتتك آياتنا فنسيتها ۖ وكذلك اليوم تنسى
Wakathalika najzee man asrafa walam yumin biayati rabbihi walaAAathabu alakhirati ashaddu waabqa
And thus do We recompense him who transgresses beyond bounds and believes not in the Signs of his Lord: and the Penalty of the Hereafter is far more grievous and more enduring.
وكذلك نجزي من أسرف ولم يؤمن بآيات ربه ۚ ولعذاب الآخرة أشد وأبقى
Afalam yahdi lahum kam ahlakna qablahum mina alqurooni yamshoona fee masakinihim inna fee thalika laayatin liolee alnnuha
Is it not a warning to such men (to call to mind) how many generations before them We destroyed, in whose haunts they (now) move? Verily, in this are Signs for men endued with understanding.
أفلم يهد لهم كم أهلكنا قبلهم من القرون يمشون في مساكنهم ۗ إن في ذلك لآيات لأولي النهى
Walawla kalimatun sabaqat min rabbika lakana lizaman waajalun musamman
Had it not been for a Word that went forth before from thy Lord, (their punishment) must necessarily have come; but there is a Term appointed (for respite).
ولولا كلمة سبقت من ربك لكان لزاما وأجل مسمى
Faisbir AAala ma yaqooloona wasabbih bihamdi rabbika qabla tulooAAi alshshamsi waqabla ghuroobiha wamin anai allayli fasabbih waatrafa alnnahari laAAallaka tarda
Therefore be patient with what they say, and celebrate (constantly) the praises of thy Lord, before the rising of the sun, and before its setting; yea, celebrate them for part of the hours of the night, and at the sides of the day: that thou mayest have (spiritual) joy.
فاصبر على ما يقولون وسبح بحمد ربك قبل طلوع الشمس وقبل غروبها ۖ ومن آناء الليل فسبح وأطراف النهار لعلك ترضى
Wala tamuddanna AAaynayka ila ma mattaAAna bihi azwajan minhum zahrata alhayati alddunya linaftinahum feehi warizqu rabbika khayrun waabqa
Nor strain thine eyes in longing for the things We have given for enjoyment to parties of them, the splendour of the life of this world, through which We test them: but the provision of thy Lord is better and more enduring.
ولا تمدن عينيك إلى ما متعنا به أزواجا منهم زهرة الحياة الدنيا لنفتنهم فيه ۚ ورزق ربك خير وأبقى
Wamur ahlaka bialssalati waistabir AAalayha la nasaluka rizqan nahnu narzuquka waalAAaqibatu lilttaqwa
Enjoin prayer on thy people, and be constant therein. We ask thee not to provide sustenance: We provide it for thee. But the (fruit of) the Hereafter is for righteousness.
وأمر أهلك بالصلاة واصطبر عليها ۖ لا نسألك رزقا ۖ نحن نرزقك ۗ والعاقبة للتقوى
Waqaloo lawla yateena biayatin min rabbihi awalam tatihim bayyinatu ma fee alssuhufi aloola
They say: "Why does he not bring us a sign from his Lord?" Has not a Clear Sign come to them of all that was in the former Books of revelation?
وقالوا لولا يأتينا بآية من ربه ۚ أولم تأتهم بينة ما في الصحف الأولى
Walaw anna ahlaknahum biAAathabin min qablihi laqaloo rabbana lawla arsalta ilayna rasoolan fanattabiAAa ayatika min qabli an nathilla wanakhza
And if We had inflicted on them a penalty before this, they would have said: "Our Lord! If only Thou hadst sent us a messenger, we should certainly have followed Thy Signs before we were humbled and put to shame."
ولو أنا أهلكناهم بعذاب من قبله لقالوا ربنا لولا أرسلت إلينا رسولا فنتبع آياتك من قبل أن نذل ونخزى
Qul kullun mutarabbisun fatarabbasoo fasataAAlamoona man ashabu alssirati alssawiyyi wamani ihtada
Say: "Each one (of us) is waiting: wait ye, therefore, and soon shall ye know who it is that is on the straight and even way, and who it is that has received Guidance."
قل كل متربص فتربصوا ۖ فستعلمون من أصحاب الصراط السوي ومن اهتدى
