بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهِۦٓ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ
Qaala faati biheee in kunta minas saadiqeen
Pharaoh said: "Then bring it if you are truthful at all."
فَأَلْقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ ثُعْبَانٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ
Fa alqaa 'asaahu fa izaaa hiya su'baanum mubeen
(No sooner had he said this than) Moses threw down his rod and behold, it was a veritable serpent,
وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِىَ بَيْضَآءُ لِلنَّٰظِرِينَ
Wa naza'a yadahoo faizaa hiya baidaaa'u linnaa zireen
and he drew his hand (out of his armpit) and lo! it had become a shining object to the beholders.
قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُۥٓ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسَٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٌۭ
Qaala lilmala-i hawlahooo inna haazaa lasaahirun 'aleem
Pharaoh said to the nobles around him: "Surely this man is a skilled magician
يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ
Yureedu ai yukhrijakum min ardikum bisihrihee famaazaa taamuroon
who wants to drive you out of your land by his magic. Tell us, what do you advise us?"
قَالُوٓا۟ أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبْعَثْ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ
Qaalooo arjih wa akhaahu wab'as filmadaaa'ini haashireen
They said: "Detain him and his brother for a while and send forth heralds to the cities
يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍۢ
Yaatooka bikulli sah haarin 'aleem
to mobilise all skilled magicians."
فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَٰتِ يَوْمٍۢ مَّعْلُومٍۢ
Fa jumi'as saharatu limeeqaati Yawmim ma'loom
So the magicians were brought together on a particular day at a set time
وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّجْتَمِعُونَ
Wa qeela linnaasi hal antum mujtami'oon
and the people were told: "Will you join the assembly?
لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ
La'allanaa nattabi'us saharata in kaanoo humul ghaalibeen
We may perhaps follow the religion of the magicians if they triumph."
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا۟ لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ
Falammaa jaaa'as saharatu qaaloo li Fir'awna a'inna lanaa la ajjran in kunnaa nahnul ghaalibeen
When the magicians came forth (for the encounter) they said to Pharaoh: "Is there a reward for us if we triumph?"
قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذًۭا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ
Qaala na'am wa innakum izal laminal muqarrabeen
He said: "Yes, you will then become those near-stationed to me."
قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلْقُوا۟ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ
Qaala lahum Moosaaa alqoo maaa antum mulqoon
Moses said to them: "Throw down whatever you wish to throw."
فَأَلْقَوْا۟ حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ
Fa alqaw hibaalahum wa 'isiyyahum wa qaaloo bi'izzati Fir'awna innaa lanahnul ghaaliboon
Thereupon they threw down their ropes and their rods, and said: "By the glory of Pharaoh, we shall prevail."
فَأَلْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ
Fa alqaa Moosaa 'asaahu fa izaa hiya talqafu maa yaafikoon
Thereafter, Moses threw down his rod and behold, it went about swallowing up all the false devices they had contrived.
فَأُلْقِىَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَٰجِدِينَ
Fa ulqiyas saharatu saajideen
Thereupon the magicians fell down in prostration,
قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Qaalooo aamannaa bi Rabbil 'aalameen
saying: "We (now) believe in the Lord of the Universe,
رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ
Rabbi Moosaa wa Haaroon
the Lord of Moses and Aaron."
قَالَ ءَامَنتُمْ لَهُۥ قَبْلَ أَنْ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَٰفٍۢ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
Qaala aamantum lahoo qabla an aazana lakum innahoo lakabeerukumul lazee 'alla makumus sihra falasawfa ta'lamoon; la uqatti'anna aidiyakum wa arjulakum min khilaafinw wa la usallibanna kum ajma'een
Pharaoh said: "You accepted the word of Moses even before I granted you the leave to do so. Surely he is your chief who has taught you magic. Soon shall you come to know. I shall cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides and shall crucify all of you."
قَالُوا۟ لَا ضَيْرَ ۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ
Qaaloo la daira innaaa ilaa Rabbinaa munqalliboon
They said: "We do not care, for we are bound to return to our Lord,
إِنَّا نَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَٰيَٰنَآ أَن كُنَّآ أَوَّلَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Innaa natma'u ai yaghfira lanaa Rabbunna khataa yaanaaa an kunnaaa awwalal mu'mineen
and we surely expect that Our Lord will forgive us our sins for we are the first ones to believe."
۞ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِىٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ
Wa awhainaaa ilaa Moosaaa an asri bi'ibaadeee innakum muttaba'oon
We revealed to Moses: "Set forth with My servants by night for you will be pursued."
فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ
Fa arsala Fir'awnu filmadaaa'ini haashireen
Then Pharaoh sent heralds to the cities (to mobilise troops)
إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌۭ قَلِيلُونَ
Inna haaa'ulaaa'i lashir zimatun qaleeloon
saying: "These (Israelites) are only a small band of people
وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ
Wa innahum lanaa laghaaa'izoon
who have certainly provoked our wrath.
وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَٰذِرُونَ
Wa innaa lajamee'un haaziroon
But we are a numerous host, ever on guard."
فَأَخْرَجْنَٰهُم مِّن جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ
Fa akhrajnaahum min Jannaatinw wa 'uyoon
Thus did We drive them out of their gardens and springs
وَكُنُوزٍۢ وَمَقَامٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ
Wa kunoozinw wa ma qaamin kareem
and their treasures and excellent dwellings.
كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَٰهَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
Kazaalika wa awrasnaahaa Baneee Israaa'eel
This happened with them; (but on the other hand), We enabled the Children of Israel to inherit those bounties.
فَأَتْبَعُوهُم مُّشْرِقِينَ
Fa atba'oohum mushriqeen
At sunrise they set off in pursuit of them
Meccan
