قال لهم موسى ألقوا ما أنتم ملقون

Word by word

قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلْقُوا۟ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ

Arabic

فألقوا حبالهم وعصيهم وقالوا بعزة فرعون إنا لنحن الغالبون

Word by word

فَأَلْقَوْا۟ حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ

Word by word

فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ

"But we are a multitude amply fore - warned."

Arabic

Word by word

فَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلْبَحْرَ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرْقٍ كَٱلطَّوْدِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

Yusuf Ali

With it came down the spirit of Faith and Truth -

Arabic

نزل به الروح الأمين

Word by word

نَزَلَ بِهِ ٱلرُّوحُ ٱلْأَمِينُ

Yusuf Ali

To thy heart and mind, that thou mayest admonish.

Arabic

على قلبك لتكون من المنذرين

Word by word

عَلَىٰ قَلْبِكَ لِتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُنذِرِينَ

Yusuf Ali

In the perspicuous Arabic tongue.

Arabic

بلسان عربي مبين

Word by word

بِلِسَانٍ عَرَبِىٍّ مُّبِينٍ

Yusuf Ali

Without doubt it is (announced) in the mystic Books of former peoples.

Arabic

وإنه لفي زبر الأولين

Word by word

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَفِى زُبُرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

Yusuf Ali

Is it not a Sign to them that the Learned of the Children of Israel knew it (as true)?

Arabic

أولم يكن لهم آية أن يعلمه علماء بني إسرائيل

Word by word

أَوَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُمْ ءَايَةً أَن يَعْلَمَهُۥ عُلَمَٰٓؤُا۟ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ

Yusuf Ali

Had We revealed it to any of the non - Arabs,

Arabic

ولو نزلناه على بعض الأعجمين

Word by word

وَلَوْ نَزَّلْنَٰهُ عَلَىٰ بَعْضِ ٱلْأَعْجَمِينَ

Yusuf Ali

And had he recited it to them, they would not have believed in it.

Arabic

فقرأه عليهم ما كانوا به مؤمنين

Word by word

فَقَرَأَهُۥ عَلَيْهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ مُؤْمِنِينَ

Yusuf Ali

Thus have We caused it to enter the hearts of the sinners.

Arabic

كذلك سلكناه في قلوب المجرمين

Word by word

كَذَٰلِكَ سَلَكْنَٰهُ فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ

Yusuf Ali

They will not believe in it until they see the grievous Penalty;

Arabic

لا يؤمنون به حتى يروا العذاب الأليم

Word by word

لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِۦ حَتَّىٰ يَرَوُا۟ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلْأَلِيمَ

Yusuf Ali

But the (Penalty) will come to them of a sudden, while they perceive it not;

Arabic

فيأتيهم بغتة وهم لا يشعرون

Word by word

فَيَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

Yusuf Ali

Then they will say: "Shall we be respited?"

Arabic

فيقولوا هل نحن منظرون

Word by word

فَيَقُولُوا۟ هَلْ نَحْنُ مُنظَرُونَ

Yusuf Ali

Do they then ask for Our Penalty to be hastened on?

Arabic

أفبعذابنا يستعجلون

Word by word

أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ

Yusuf Ali

Seest thou? If We do let them enjoy (this life) for a few years,

Arabic

أفرأيت إن متعناهم سنين

Word by word

أَفَرَءَيْتَ إِن مَّتَّعْنَٰهُمْ سِنِينَ

Yusuf Ali

Yet there comes to them at length the (Punishment) which they were promised!

Arabic

ثم جاءهم ما كانوا يوعدون

Word by word

ثُمَّ جَآءَهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُوعَدُونَ

Yusuf Ali

It will profit them not that they enjoyed (this life)!

Arabic

ما أغنى عنهم ما كانوا يمتعون

Word by word

مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يُمَتَّعُونَ

Yusuf Ali

Never did We destroy a population, but had its warners -

Arabic

وما أهلكنا من قرية إلا لها منذرون

Word by word

وَمَآ أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا لَهَا مُنذِرُونَ

Yusuf Ali

By way of reminder; and We never are unjust.

Arabic

ذكرى وما كنا ظالمين

Word by word

ذِكْرَىٰ وَمَا كُنَّا ظَٰلِمِينَ

Yusuf Ali

No evil ones have brought down this (Revelation):

Arabic

وما تنزلت به الشياطين

Word by word

وَمَا تَنَزَّلَتْ بِهِ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ

Yusuf Ali

It would neither suit them nor would they be able (to produce it).

Arabic

وما ينبغي لهم وما يستطيعون

Word by word

وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ

Indeed they have been removed far from even (a chance of) hearing it.

Arabic

إنهم عن السمع لمعزولون

Word by word

إِنَّهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُولُونَ

Yusuf Ali

So call not on any other god with Allah, or thou wilt be among those under the Penalty.

Arabic

فلا تدع مع الله إلها آخر فتكون من المعذبين

Word by word

فَلَا تَدْعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُعَذَّبِينَ

Yusuf Ali

And admonish thy nearest kinsmen,

Arabic

وأنذر عشيرتك الأقربين

Word by word

وَأَنذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ ٱلْأَقْرَبِينَ

Yusuf Ali

And lower thy wing to the Believers who follow thee.

Arabic

واخفض جناحك لمن اتبعك من المؤمنين

Word by word

وَٱخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Yusuf Ali

Then if they disobey thee, say: "I am free (of responsibility) for what ye do!"

Arabic

فإن عصوك فقل إني بريء مما تعملون

Word by word

فَإِنْ عَصَوْكَ فَقُلْ إِنِّى بَرِىٓءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ

Yusuf Ali

And put thy trust on the Exalted in Might, the Merciful, -

Arabic

وتوكل على العزيز الرحيم

Word by word

وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Yusuf Ali

Who seeth thee standing forth (in prayer),

Arabic

الذي يراك حين تقوم

Word by word

ٱلَّذِى يَرَىٰكَ حِينَ تَقُومُ

Yusuf Ali

And thy movements among those who prostrate themselves,

Arabic

وتقلبك في الساجدين

Word by word

وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِى ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ

For it is He Who heareth and knoweth all things.

Arabic

إنه هو السميع العليم

Word by word

إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ

Yusuf Ali

Shall I inform you, (O people!), on whom it is that the evil ones descend?

Arabic

هل أنبئكم على من تنزل الشياطين

Word by word

هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ

Yusuf Ali

They descend on every lying, wicked person,

Arabic

تنزل على كل أفاك أثيم

Word by word

تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍ

Yusuf Ali

(Into whose ears) they pour hearsay vanities, and most of them are liars.

Arabic

يلقون السمع وأكثرهم كاذبون

Word by word

يُلْقُونَ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَٰذِبُونَ

Yusuf Ali

And the Poets, - It is those straying in Evil, who follow them:

Arabic

والشعراء يتبعهم الغاوون

Word by word

وَٱلشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلْغَاوُۥنَ

Yusuf Ali

Seest thou not that they wander distracted in every valley? -

Arabic

ألم تر أنهم في كل واد يهيمون

Word by word

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِى كُلِّ وَادٍ يَهِيمُونَ

And that they say what they practise not? -

Arabic

وأنهم يقولون ما لا يفعلون

Word by word

وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ

Yusuf Ali

Except those who believe, work righteousness, engage much in the remembrance of Allah, and defend themselves only after they are unjustly attacked. And soon will the unjust assailants know what vicissitudes their affairs will take!

Arabic

إلا الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات وذكروا الله كثيرا وانتصروا من بعد ما ظلموا ۗ وسيعلم الذين ظلموا أي منقلب ينقلبون

Word by word

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَذَكَرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَٱنتَصَرُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا۟ وَسَيَعْلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ أَىَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبُونَ
