بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهِۦٓ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ
Qaala faati biheee in kunta minas saadiqeen
(Pharaoh) said: "Show it then, if thou tellest the truth!"
فَأَلْقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ ثُعْبَانٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ
Fa alqaa 'asaahu fa izaaa hiya su'baanum mubeen
So (Moses) threw his rod, and behold, it was a serpent, plain (for all to see)!
وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِىَ بَيْضَآءُ لِلنَّٰظِرِينَ
Wa naza'a yadahoo faizaa hiya baidaaa'u linnaa zireen
And he drew out his hand, and behold, it was white to all beholders!
قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُۥٓ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَسَٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٌۭ
Qaala lilmala-i hawlahooo inna haazaa lasaahirun 'aleem
(Pharaoh) said to the Chiefs around him: "This is indeed a sorcerer well-versed:
يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ
Yureedu ai yukhrijakum min ardikum bisihrihee famaazaa taamuroon
"His plan is to get you out of your land by his sorcery; then what is it ye counsel?"
قَالُوٓا۟ أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبْعَثْ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ
Qaalooo arjih wa akhaahu wab'as filmadaaa'ini haashireen
They said: "Keep him and his brother in suspense (for a while), and dispatch to the Cities heralds to collect-
يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍۢ
Yaatooka bikulli sah haarin 'aleem
"And bring up to thee all (our) sorcerers well-versed."
فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَٰتِ يَوْمٍۢ مَّعْلُومٍۢ
Fa jumi'as saharatu limeeqaati Yawmim ma'loom
So the sorcerers were got together for the appointment of a day well-known,
وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّجْتَمِعُونَ
Wa qeela linnaasi hal antum mujtami'oon
And the people were told: "Are ye (now) assembled?-
لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ
La'allanaa nattabi'us saharata in kaanoo humul ghaalibeen
"That we may follow the sorcerers (in religion) if they win?"
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
So when the sorcerers arrived, they said to Pharaoh: "Of course - shall we have a (suitable) reward if we win?
قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذًۭا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ
Qaala na'am wa innakum izal laminal muqarrabeen
He said: "Yea, (and more),- for ye shall in that case be (raised to posts) nearest (to my person)."
قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰٓ أَلْقُوا۟ مَآ أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ
Qaala lahum Moosaaa alqoo maaa antum mulqoon
Moses said to them: "Throw ye - that which ye are about 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
So they threw their ropes and their rods, and said: "By the might of Pharaoh, it is we who will certainly win!"
فَأَلْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ
Fa alqaa Moosaa 'asaahu fa izaa hiya talqafu maa yaafikoon
Then Moses threw his rod, when, behold, it straightway swallows up all the falsehoods which they fake!
فَأُلْقِىَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سَٰجِدِينَ
Fa ulqiyas saharatu saajideen
Then did the sorcerers fall down, prostrate in adoration,
قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Qaalooo aamannaa bi Rabbil 'aalameen
Saying: "We believe in the Lord of the Worlds,
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
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!"
قَالُوا۟ لَا ضَيْرَ ۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ
Qaaloo la daira innaaa ilaa Rabbinaa munqalliboon
They said: "No matter! for us, we shall but 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
"Only, our desire is that our Lord will forgive us our faults, that we may become foremost among the believers!"
۞ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِىٓ إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ
Wa awhainaaa ilaa Moosaaa an asri bi'ibaadeee innakum muttaba'oon
By inspiration we told Moses: "Travel by night with my servants; for surely ye shall be pursued."
فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَٰشِرِينَ
Fa arsala Fir'awnu filmadaaa'ini haashireen
Then Pharaoh sent heralds to (all) the Cities,
إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌۭ قَلِيلُونَ
Inna haaa'ulaaa'i lashir zimatun qaleeloon
(Saying): "These (Israelites) are but a small band,
وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُونَ
Wa innahum lanaa laghaaa'izoon
"And they are raging furiously against us;
وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَٰذِرُونَ
Wa innaa lajamee'un haaziroon
"But we are a multitude amply fore-warned."
فَأَخْرَجْنَٰهُم مِّن جَنَّٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ
Fa akhrajnaahum min Jannaatinw wa 'uyoon
So We expelled them from gardens, springs,
وَكُنُوزٍۢ وَمَقَامٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ
Wa kunoozinw wa ma qaamin kareem
Treasures, and every kind of honourable position;
كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَٰهَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
Kazaalika wa awrasnaahaa Baneee Israaa'eel
Thus it was, but We made the Children of Israel inheritors of such things.
فَأَتْبَعُوهُم مُّشْرِقِينَ
Fa atba'oohum mushriqeen
So they pursued them at sunrise.
