These are verses of the Book that makes (things) clear.
These are revelations of the Scripture that maketh plain.
تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ
تِلْكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ
It may be thou frettest thy soul with grief, that they do not become Believers.
It may be that thou tormentest thyself (O Muhammad) because they believe not.
لَعَلَّكَ بَاخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ
لَعَلَّكَ بَٰخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ
If (such) were Our Will, We could send down to them from the sky a Sign, to which they would bend their necks in humility.
If We will, We can send down on them from the sky a portent so that their necks would remain bowed before it.
إِن نَّشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ آيَةً فَظَلَّتْ أَعْنَاقُهُمْ لَهَا خَاضِعِينَ
إِن نَّشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةً فَظَلَّتْ أَعْنَٰقُهُمْ لَهَا خَٰضِعِينَ
But there comes not to them a newly - revealed Message from (Allah) Most Gracious, but they turn away therefrom.
Never cometh there unto them a fresh reminder from the Beneficent One, but they turn away from it.
وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍ مِّنَ الرَّحْمَٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِينَ
وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِينَ
They have indeed rejected (the Message): so they will know soon (enough) the truth of what they mocked at!
Now they have denied (the Truth); but there will come unto them tidings of that whereat they used to scoff.
فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوا فَسَيَأْتِيهِمْ أَنبَاءُ مَا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ
فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوا۟ فَسَيَأْتِيهِمْ أَنۢبَٰٓؤُا۟ مَا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ
Do they not look at the earth, - how many noble things of all kinds We have produced therein?
Have they not seen the earth, how much of every fruitful kind We make to grow therein ?
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا إِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَمْ أَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِيمٍ
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَمْ أَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِيمٍ
Verily, in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe.
Lo! herein is indeed a portent; yet most of them are not believers.
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةً وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
And verily, thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.
And lo! thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
Behold, thy Lord called Moses: "Go to the people of iniquity, -
And when thy Lord called Moses, saying: Go unto the wrongdoing folk,
وَإِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰ أَنِ ائْتِ الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ
وَإِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئْتِ ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ
"The people of the Pharaoh: will they not fear Allah?"
The folk of Pharaoh. Will they not ward off (evil) ?
قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ
قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ

"My breast will be straitened. And my speech may not go (smoothly): so send unto Aaron.
And I shall be embarrassed, and my tongue will not speak plainly, therefor send for Aaron (to help me).

وَلَهُمْ عَلَيَّ ذَنبٌ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلُونِ
وَلَهُمْ عَلَىَّ ذَنۢبٌ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلُونِ
Allah said: "By no means! proceed then, both of you, with Our Signs; We are with you, and will listen (to your call).
He said: Nay, verily. So go ye twain with Our tokens. Lo! We shall be with you, Hearing.
قَالَ كَلَّا ۖ فَاذْهَبَا بِآيَاتِنَا ۖ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسْتَمِعُونَ
قَالَ كَلَّا فَٱذْهَبَا بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ إِنَّا مَعَكُم مُّسْتَمِعُونَ

أَنْ أَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
(Pharaoh) said: "Did we not cherish thee as a child among us, and didst thou not stay in our midst many years of thy life?
(Pharaoh) said (unto Moses): Did we not rear thee among us as a child ? And thou didst dwell many years of thy life among us,
قَالَ أَلَمْ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدًا وَلَبِثْتَ فِينَا مِنْ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ
قَالَ أَلَمْ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدًا وَلَبِثْتَ فِينَا مِنْ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ
"And thou didst a deed of thine which (thou knowest) thou didst, and thou art an ungrateful (wretch)!"
And thou didst that thy deed which thou didst, and thou wast one of the ingrates.
وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ الَّتِي فَعَلْتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ

Then I fled from you when I feared you, and my Lord vouchsafed me a command and appointed me (of the number) of those sent (by Him).

وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِىَ بَيْضَآءُ لِلنَّٰظِرِينَ
(Pharaoh) said to the Chiefs around him: "This is indeed a sorcerer well - versed:
(Pharaoh) said unto the chiefs about him: Lo! this is verily a knowing wizard,
قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسَاحِرٌ عَلِيمٌ
قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُۥٓ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسَٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٌ
"His plan is to get you out of your land by his sorcery; then what is it ye counsel?"
Who would drive you out of your land by his magic. Now what counsel ye ?
يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ
يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ
They said: "Keep him and his brother in suspense (for a while), and dispatch to the Cities heralds to collect -
They said: Put him off, (him) and his brother, and send into the cities summoners

"And bring up to thee all (our) sorcerers well - versed."
Who shall bring unto thee every knowing wizard.
يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍ
يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍ
So the sorcerers were got together for the appointment of a day well - known,
So the wizards were gathered together at a set time on a day appointed.
فَجُمِعَ السَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَاتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ
فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَٰتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ
And the people were told: "Are ye (now) assembled? -
And it was said unto the people: Are ye (also) gathering ?
وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّجْتَمِعُونَ
وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّجْتَمِعُونَ
"That we may follow the sorcerers (in religion) if they win?"
(They said): Aye, so that we may follow the wizards if they are the winners.
لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ السَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا هُمُ الْغَالِبِينَ
لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ
So when the sorcerers arrived, they said to Pharaoh: "Of course - shall we have a (suitable) reward if we win?
And when the wizards came they said unto Pharaoh: Will there surely be a reward for us if we are the winners ?
فَلَمَّا جَاءَ السَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْغَالِبِينَ
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا۟ لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ
He said: "Yea, (and more), - for ye shall in that case be (raised to posts) nearest (to my person)."
He said: Aye, and ye will then surely be of those brought near (to me).
قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَّمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ
قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ
Moses said to them: "Throw ye - that which ye are about to throw!"
Moses said unto them: Throw what ye are going to throw!
قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰ أَلْقُوا مَا أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ
قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلْقُوا۟ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ
So they threw their ropes and their rods, and said: "By the might of Pharaoh, it is we who will certainly win!"
Then they threw down their cords and their staves and said: By Pharaoh's might, lo! we verily are the winners.
فَأَلْقَوْا حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الْغَالِبُونَ
فَأَلْقَوْا۟ حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ
Then Moses threw his rod, when, behold, it straightway swallows up all the falsehoods which they fake!
Then Moses threw his staff and lo! it swallowed that which they did falsely show.
فَأَلْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ
فَأَلْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ
Then did the sorcerers fall down, prostrate in adoration,
And the wizards were flung prostrate,
فَأُلْقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ سَاجِدِينَ
فَأُلْقِىَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَٰجِدِينَ
Saying: "We believe in the Lord of the Worlds,
Crying: We believe in the Lord of the Worlds,
قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
"The Lord of Moses and Aaron."
The Lord of Moses and Aaron.
رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَارُونَ
رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ
Said (Pharaoh): "Believe ye in Him before I give you permission? surely he is your leader, who has taught you sorcery! but soon shall ye know! Be sure I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will cause you all to die on the cross!"
(Pharaoh) said: Ye put your faith in him before I give you leave. Lo! he doubtless is your chief who taught you magic! But verily ye shall come to know. Verily I will cut off your hands and your feet alternately, and verily I will crucify you every one.
قَالَ آمَنتُمْ لَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ آذَنَ لَكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ الَّذِي عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَافٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
قَالَ ءَامَنتُمْ لَهُۥ قَبْلَ أَنْ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمْ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَٰفٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
They said: "No matter! for us, we shall but return to our Lord!
They said: It is no hurt, for lo! unto our Lord we shall return.
قَالُوا لَا ضَيْرَ ۖ إِنَّا إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ
قَالُوا۟ لَا ضَيْرَ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ
"Only, our desire is that our Lord will forgive us our faults, that we may become foremost among the believers!"
Lo! we ardently hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we are the first of the believers.
إِنَّا نَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَايَانَا أَن كُنَّا أَوَّلَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
إِنَّا نَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَٰيَٰنَآ أَن كُنَّآ أَوَّلَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
By inspiration we told Moses: "Travel by night with my servants; for surely ye shall be pursued."
And We inspired Moses, saying: Take away My slaves by night, for ye will be pursued.
۞ وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِي إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ
وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِىٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ
Then Pharaoh sent heralds to (all) the Cities,
Then Pharaoh sent into the cities summoners,
فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِي الْمَدَائِنِ حَاشِرِينَ
فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ
(Saying): "These (Israelites) are but a small band,
(Who said): Lo! these indeed are but a little troop,
إِنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌ قَلِيلُونَ
إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌ قَلِيلُونَ
"And they are raging furiously against us;
And lo! they are offenders against us.
وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَائِظُونَ
وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ
"But we are a multitude amply fore - warned."
And lo! we are a ready host.
وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَاذِرُونَ
وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَٰذِرُونَ
So We expelled them from gardens, springs,
Thus did We take them away from gardens and watersprings,
فَأَخْرَجْنَاهُم مِّن جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ
فَأَخْرَجْنَٰهُم مِّن جَنَّٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ
Treasures, and every kind of honourable position;
And treasures and a fair estate.
وَكُنُوزٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ
وَكُنُوزٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ
Thus it was, but We made the Children of Israel inheritors of such things.
Thus (were those things taken from them) and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit them.
كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَاهَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ
كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَٰهَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
So they pursued them at sunrise.
And they overtook them at sunrise.
فَأَتْبَعُوهُم مُّشْرِقِينَ
فَأَتْبَعُوهُم مُّشْرِقِينَ
And when the two bodies saw each other, the people of Moses said: "We are sure to be overtaken."
And when the two hosts saw each other, those with Moses said: Lo! we are indeed caught.
فَلَمَّا تَرَاءَى الْجَمْعَانِ قَالَ أَصْحَابُ مُوسَىٰ إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ
فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلْجَمْعَانِ قَالَ أَصْحَٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدْرَكُونَ
(Moses) said: "By no means! my Lord is with me! Soon will He guide me!"
He said: Nay, verily! for lo! my Lord is with me. He will guide me.
قَالَ كَلَّا ۖ إِنَّ مَعِيَ رَبِّي سَيَهْدِينِ
قَالَ كَلَّآ إِنَّ مَعِىَ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ

(How) that wherewith they were contented naught availeth them ?
مَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا يُمَتَّعُونَ

وَمَا يَنبَغِي لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ
وَمَا يَنۢبَغِى لَهُمْ وَمَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ

And (seeth) thine abasement among those who fall prostrate (in worship).
وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِي السَّاجِدِينَ
وَتَقَلُّبَكَ فِى ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ
For it is He Who heareth and knoweth all things.
Lo! He, only He, is the Hearer, the Knower.
إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
Shall I inform you, (O people!), on whom it is that the evil ones descend?
Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend ?
هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ الشَّيَاطِينُ
هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن تَنَزَّلُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ
They descend on every lying, wicked person,
They descend on every sinful, false one.
تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍ
تَنَزَّلُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ أَفَّاكٍ أَثِيمٍ
(Into whose ears) they pour hearsay vanities, and most of them are liars.
They listen eagerly, but most of them are liars.
يُلْقُونَ السَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَاذِبُونَ
يُلْقُونَ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَٰذِبُونَ
And the Poets, - It is those straying in Evil, who follow them:
As for poets, the erring follow them.
وَالشُّعَرَاءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ الْغَاوُونَ
وَٱلشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلْغَاوُۥنَ
Seest thou not that they wander distracted in every valley? -
Hast thou not seen how they stray in every valley,
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِي كُلِّ وَادٍ يَهِيمُونَ
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِى كُلِّ وَادٍ يَهِيمُونَ
And that they say what they practise not? -
And how they say that which they do not ?
وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ
وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ
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!
Save those who believe and do good works, and remember Allah much, and vindicate themselves after they have been wronged. Those who do wrong will come to know by what a (great) reverse they will be overturned!
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَانتَصَرُوا مِن بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا ۗ وَسَيَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَيَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبُونَ
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَذَكَرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَٱنتَصَرُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا۟ وَسَيَعْلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ أَىَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبُونَ
