135 Ayaat مکیۃ
I have chosen thee for My service;
اِذْهَبْ اَنْتَ وَ اَخُوْكَ بِاٰیٰتِیْ وَ لَا تَنِیَا فِیْ ذِكْرِیْۚ(۴۲)
Go with My signs, you and your brother, and do not be lax in remembering Me.
go therefore, thou and thy brother; with My signs, and neglect not to remember Me.
اِذْهَبَاۤ اِلٰى فِرْعَوْنَ اِنَّهٗ طَغٰىۚۖ(۴۳)
Then go to the Pharaoh as he has become exceedingly rebellious.
Go to Pharaoh, for he has waxed insolent;
فَقُوْلَا لَهٗ قَوْلًا لَّیِّنًا لَّعَلَّهٗ یَتَذَكَّرُ اَوْ یَخْشٰى(۴۴)
Speak to him gently. He may possibly take heed or may come to have fear."
yet speak gently to him, that haply he may be mindful, or perchance fear.'
قَالَا رَبَّنَاۤ اِنَّنَا نَخَافُ اَنْ یَّفْرُطَ عَلَیْنَاۤ اَوْ اَنْ یَّطْغٰى(۴۵)
They said: "O our Lord, we are really frightened lest he behave insolently with us or become violent."
'O our Lord,' said Moses and Aaron, 'truly we fear he may exceed against us, or wax insolent.'
قَالَ لَا تَخَافَاۤ اِنَّنِیْ مَعَكُمَاۤ اَسْمَعُ وَ اَرٰى(۴۶)
(The Lord) said: "Be not afraid. I am verily with you, and I hear and see.
'Fear not,' said He. 'Surely I shall be with you, hearing and seeing.
فَاْتِیٰهُ فَقُوْلَاۤ اِنَّا رَسُوْلَا رَبِّكَ فَاَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ ﳔ وَ لَا تُعَذِّبْهُمْؕ-قَدْ جِئْنٰكَ بِاٰیَةٍ مِّنْ رَّبِّكَؕ-وَ السَّلٰمُ عَلٰى مَنِ اتَّبَعَ الْهُدٰى(۴۷)
So go to him and say: ´The two of us have indeed been sent by your Lord. So let the children of Israel come with us, and do not oppress them. We have come to you with a token from your Lord. Peace on him who follows the way of guidance.
So go you both to Pharaoh, and say, "We are the Messengers of thy Lord, so send forth with us the Children of Israel and chastise them not; we have brought thee a sign from thy Lord; and peace be upon him who follows the guidance!
اِنَّا قَدْ اُوْحِیَ اِلَیْنَاۤ اَنَّ الْعَذَابَ عَلٰى مَنْ كَذَّبَ وَ تَوَلّٰى(۴۸)
It has been revealed to us that punishment will befall him who denies and turns away.
It has been revealed to us that chastisement shall light upon him who cries lies and turns his back."
Pharaoh said, 'Who is your Lord, Moses?'
قَالَ رَبُّنَا الَّذِیْۤ اَعْطٰى كُلَّ شَیْءٍ خَلْقَهٗ ثُمَّ هَدٰى(۵۰)
(Moses) said: "Our Lord is He who gave everything its natural form and directed it."
He said, 'Our Lord is He who gave everything its creation, then guided it.'
قَالَ فَمَا بَالُ الْقُرُوْنِ الْاُوْلٰى(۵۱)
(The Pharaoh) said: "And what about the former generations?"
Pharaoh said, 'And what of the former generations?'
قَالَ عِلْمُهَا عِنْدَ رَبِّیْ فِیْ كِتٰبٍۚ-لَا یَضِلُّ رَبِّیْ وَ لَا یَنْسَى٘(۵۲)
(Moses) replied: "Knowledge of that is with my Lord (recorded) in the Book. My Lord neither errs nor forgets."
Said Moses, 'The knowledge of them is with my Lord, in a Book; my Lord goes not astray, nor forgets --
الَّذِیْ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْاَرْضَ مَهْدًا وَّ سَلَكَ لَكُمْ فِیْهَا سُبُلًا وَّ اَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءًؕ-فَاَخْرَجْنَا بِهٖۤ اَزْوَاجًا مِّنْ نَّبَاتٍ شَتّٰى(۵۳)
It is He who made the earth a bed for you, and traced for you paths upon it, and sends down water from the sky, and brings out through it every kind of vegetation
He who appointed the earth to be a cradle for you, and therein threaded roads for you, and sent down water out of heaven, and therewith We have brought forth divers kinds of plants.
كُلُوْا وَ ارْعَوْا اَنْعَامَكُمْؕ-اِنَّ فِیْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰیٰتٍ لِّاُولِی النُّهٰى۠(۵۴)
To eat and feed your cattle. Surely there are signs in these for those who are wise.
Do you eat, and pasture your cattle! Surely in that are signs for men possessing reason.
مِنْهَا خَلَقْنٰكُمْ وَ فِیْهَا نُعِیْدُكُمْ وَ مِنْهَا نُخْرِجُكُمْ تَارَةً اُخْرٰى(۵۵)
We created you from the earth and will revert you back to it; and raise you up from it a second time.
Out of the earth We created you, and We shall restore you into it, and bring you forth from it a second time.'
وَ لَقَدْ اَرَیْنٰهُ اٰیٰتِنَا كُلَّهَا فَكَذَّبَ وَ اَبٰى(۵۶)
So We showed him all Our signs, but he denied them and refused,
So We showed Pharaoh all Our signs, but he cried lies, and refused.
قَالَ اَجِئْتَنَا لِتُخْرِجَنَا مِنْ اَرْضِنَا بِسِحْرِكَ یٰمُوْسٰى(۵۷)
And said: "Have you come to us, O Moses, to drive us out of our land with your witchery?
'Hast thou come, Moses,' he said, 'to expel us out of our land
فَلَنَاْتِیَنَّكَ بِسِحْرٍ مِّثْلِهٖ فَاجْعَلْ بَیْنَنَا وَ بَیْنَكَ مَوْعِدًا لَّا نُخْلِفُهٗ نَحْنُ وَ لَاۤ اَنْتَ مَكَانًا سُوًى(۵۸)
We shall certainly meet you with like magic. So make an appointment when we and you could meet on common ground, which neither we nor you should fail to keep."
by thy sorcery? We shall assuredly bring thee sorcery the like of it; therefore appoint a tryst between us and thee, a place mutually agreeable, and we shall not fail it, neither thou.'
قَالَ مَوْعِدُكُمْ یَوْمُ الزِّیْنَةِ وَ اَنْ یُّحْشَرَ النَّاسُ ضُحًى(۵۹)
Said (Moses): "Let your meeting be on the day of the Feast, and let people assemble in broad daylight."
'Your tryst shall be upon the Feast Day.' said Moses. 'Let the people be mustered at the high noon.'
فَتَوَلّٰى فِرْعَوْنُ فَجَمَعَ كَیْدَهٗ ثُمَّ اَتٰى(۶۰)
After this the Pharaoh withdrew and settled his stratagem, then came back.
Pharaoh then withdrew, and gathered his guile. Thereafter he came again,
قَالَ لَهُمْ مُّوْسٰى وَیْلَكُمْ لَا تَفْتَرُوْا عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِبًا فَیُسْحِتَكُمْ بِعَذَابٍۚ-وَ قَدْ خَابَ مَنِ افْتَرٰى(۶۱)
Moses said to them: "Woe betide you. Do not fabricate a lie against God, or He will destroy you with some affliction. For he who fabricates lies is doomed to failure."
and Moses said to them, 'O beware! Forge not a lie against God, lest He destroy you with a chastisement. Whoso forges has ever failed.'
فَتَنَازَعُوْۤا اَمْرَهُمْ بَیْنَهُمْ وَ اَسَرُّوا النَّجْوٰى(۶۲)
So they discussed their strategy among themselves and conferred privately,
And they disputed upon their plan between them, and communed secretly
قَالُوْۤا اِنْ هٰذٰىنِ لَسٰحِرٰنِ یُرِیْدٰنِ اَنْ یُّخْرِجٰكُمْ مِّنْ اَرْضِكُمْ بِسِحْرِهِمَا وَ یَذْهَبَا بِطَرِیْقَتِكُمُ الْمُثْلٰى(۶۳)
(And) said: "These two are surely magicians. They want to deprive you of your land with their magic, and eradicate your distinct way (of life).
saying, 'These two men are sorcerers and their purpose is to expel you out of your land by their sorcery, and to extirpate your justest way.
فَاَجْمِعُوْا كَیْدَكُمْ ثُمَّ ائْتُوْا صَفًّاۚ-وَ قَدْ اَفْلَحَ الْیَوْمَ مَنِ اسْتَعْلٰى(۶۴)
So prepare your strategy and come forward. He alone shall win today who is superior."
So gather your guile; then come in battle-line. Whoever today gains the upper hand shall surely prosper.
قَالُوْا یٰمُوْسٰۤى اِمَّاۤ اَنْ تُلْقِیَ وَ اِمَّاۤ اَنْ نَّكُوْنَ اَوَّلَ مَنْ اَلْقٰى(۶۵)
They said: "Either you cast (your spell), O Moses, or we shall cast it first."
They said, 'Moses, either thou wilt cast, or we shall be the first to cast.'
قَالَ بَلْ اَلْقُوْاۚ-فَاِذَا حِبَالُهُمْ وَ عِصِیُّهُمْ یُخَیَّلُ اِلَیْهِ مِنْ سِحْرِهِمْ اَنَّهَا تَسْعٰى(۶۶)
Moses said: "No. You cast it first" Then it seemed to Moses that by their magic their cords and rods were flying;
'No,' said Moses. 'Do you cast!' And lo, it seemed to him, by their sorcery, their ropes and their staffs were sliding;
and Moses conceived a fear within him.
قُلْنَا لَا تَخَفْ اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ الْاَعْلٰى(۶۸)
We said to him: "Fear not. You will certainly be victorious.
We said unto him, 'Fear not; surely thou art the uppermost.
وَ اَلْقِ مَا فِیْ یَمِیْنِكَ تَلْقَفْ مَا صَنَعُوْاؕ-اِنَّمَا صَنَعُوْا كَیْدُ سٰحِرٍؕ-وَ لَا یُفْلِحُ السَّاحِرُ حَیْثُ اَتٰى(۶۹)
Throw down what is in your right hand: It will swallow up what they have conjured. For what they have fashioned is only a trick of the sorcerer; and a sorcerer does not succeed wherever he may come."
Cast down what is in thy right hand, and it shall swallow what they have fashioned; for they have fashioned only the guile of a sorcerer, and the sorcerer prospers not; wherever he goes.'
فَاُلْقِیَ السَّحَرَةُ سُجَّدًا قَالُوْۤا اٰمَنَّا بِرَبِّ هٰرُوْنَ وَ مُوْسٰى(۷۰)
The magicians, (seeing the miracle), fell down in prostration, saying: "We believe in the Lord of Moses and Aaron."
And the sorcerers cast themselves down prostrating. 'We believe,' they said, 'in the Lord of Aaron and Moses.'
قَالَ اٰمَنْتُمْ لَهٗ قَبْلَ اَنْ اٰذَنَ لَكُمْؕ-اِنَّهٗ لَكَبِیْرُكُمُ الَّذِیْ عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحْرَۚ-فَلَاُقَطِّعَنَّ اَیْدِیَكُمْ وَ اَرْجُلَكُمْ مِّنْ خِلَافٍ وَّ لَاُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ فِیْ جُذُوْعِ النَّخْلِ٘-وَ لَتَعْلَمُنَّ اَیُّنَاۤ اَشَدُّ عَذَابًا وَّ اَبْقٰى(۷۱)
(The Pharaoh) said: "You have come to believe without my dispensation. Surely he is your chief who taught you magic. I will have your hands and feet cut off on alternate sides and crucify you on the trunks of date-palm trees. You will come to know whose punishment is harder and protracted."
Pharaoh said, 'Have you believed him before I gave you leave? Why, he is the chief of you, the same that taught you sorcery; I shall assuredly cut off alternately your hands and feet, then I shall crucify you upon the trunks of palm-trees; you shall know of a certainty which of us is more terrible in chastisement, and more abiding.'
قَالُوْا لَنْ نُّؤْثِرَكَ عَلٰى مَا جَآءَنَا مِنَ الْبَیِّنٰتِ وَ الَّذِیْ فَطَرَنَا فَاقْضِ مَاۤ اَنْتَ قَاضٍؕ-اِنَّمَا تَقْضِیْ هٰذِهِ الْحَیٰوةَ الدُّنْیَاؕ(۷۲)
They replied: "We cannot choose you in the face of the clear testimony we have received, and over Him who created us. So do what you are determined to do. All that you would do will only be confined to our life on earth.
They said, 'We will not prefer thee over the clear signs that have come to us, nor over Him who originated us. Decide then what thou wilt decide; thou canst only decide touching this present life.
اِنَّاۤ اٰمَنَّا بِرَبِّنَا لِیَغْفِرَ لَنَا خَطٰیٰنَا وَ مَاۤ اَكْرَهْتَنَا عَلَیْهِ مِنَ السِّحْرِؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ خَیْرٌ وَّ اَبْقٰى(۷۳)
We have certainly come to believe in our Lord that He may forgive our trespasses and the magic you have forced us to perform, for God is nobler and abiding."
We believe in our Lord, that He may pardon us our offences, and the sorcery thou hast constrained us to practise; God is better, and more abiding.'
اِنَّهٗ مَنْ یَّاْتِ رَبَّهٗ مُجْرِمًا فَاِنَّ لَهٗ جَهَنَّمَؕ-لَا یَمُوْتُ فِیْهَا وَ لَا یَحْیٰى(۷۴)
Surely for him who comes before his Lord a sinner shall be Hell, where he will neither die nor live.
Whosoever comes unto his Lord a sinner, for him awaits Gehenna wherein he shall neither die nor live.
وَ مَنْ یَّاْتِهٖ مُؤْمِنًا قَدْ عَمِلَ الصّٰلِحٰتِ فَاُولٰٓىٕكَ لَهُمُ الدَّرَجٰتُ الْعُلٰىۙ(۷۵)
But whoever comes before Him a believer having done good deeds, will be raised to higher stations --
And whoso comes unto Him a believer having done deeds of righteousness, those -- for them await the most sublime degrees;
جَنّٰتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِیْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِیْنَ فِیْهَاؕ-وَ ذٰلِكَ جَزٰٓؤُا مَنْ تَزَكّٰى۠(۷۶)
Gardens of Eden with rippling streams, where he will live for ever. This is the recompense of those who achieve integrity.
Gardens of Eden, underneath which rivers flow, therein dwelling forever; that is the recompense of the self-purified.
وَ لَقَدْ اَوْحَیْنَاۤ اِلٰى مُوْسٰۤى ﳔ اَنْ اَسْرِ بِعِبَادِیْ فَاضْرِبْ لَهُمْ طَرِیْقًا فِی الْبَحْرِ یَبَسًاۙ-لَّا تَخٰفُ دَرَكًا وَّ لَا تَخْشٰى(۷۷)
We commanded Moses: "Journey by night with Our creatures, and strike a dry path for them through the sea. Do not fear being overtaken, nor have dread of any thing."
Also We revealed unto Moses, 'Go with My servants by night; strike for them a dry path in the sea, fearing not overtaking, neither afraid.'
فَاَتْبَعَهُمْ فِرْعَوْنُ بِجُنُوْدِهٖ فَغَشِیَهُمْ مِّنَ الْیَمِّ مَا غَشِیَهُمْؕ(۷۸)
Then the Pharaoh followed them with his army, but the sea overpowered and engulfed them.
Pharaoh followed them with his hosts, but they were overwhelmed by the sea;
وَ اَضَلَّ فِرْعَوْنُ قَوْمَهٗ وَ مَا هَدٰى(۷۹)
The Pharaoh had led his people astray, and did not rightly guide them.
so Pharaoh had led his people astray, and was no guide to them.
یٰبَنِیْۤ اِسْرَآءِیْلَ قَدْ اَنْجَیْنٰكُمْ مِّنْ عَدُوِّكُمْ وَ وٰعَدْنٰكُمْ جَانِبَ الطُّوْرِ الْاَیْمَنَ وَ نَزَّلْنَا عَلَیْكُمُ الْمَنَّ وَ السَّلْوٰى(۸۰)
O children of Israel, We delivered you from your enemy, and made a covenant with you on the right side of the Mount, and sent down for you manna and quails,
Children of Israel, We delivered you from your enemy; and We made covenant with you upon the right side of the Mount, and sent down on you manna and quails:
