فَأتِياهُ فَقولا إِنّا رَسولا رَبِّكَ فَأَرسِل مَعَنا بَني إِسرائيلَ وَلا تُعَذِّبهُم ۖ قَد جِئناكَ بِآيَةٍ مِن رَبِّكَ ۖ وَالسَّلامُ عَلىٰ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ الهُدىٰ
Go to him and say, ‘We are the messengers of your Lord, so send with us the Children of Israel and don’t torment them. We’ve come to you with a sign from your Lord, and peace is upon those who follow the guidance.
إِنّا قَد أوحِيَ إِلَينا أَنَّ العَذابَ عَلىٰ مَن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلّىٰ
It has been revealed to us that the punishment is upon whoever denies and turns away.’”
قالَ فَمَن رَبُّكُما يا موسىٰ
He asked, “Who is your Lord, O Moses?”
قالَ رَبُّنَا الَّذي أَعطىٰ كُلَّ شَيءٍ خَلقَهُ ثُمَّ هَدىٰ
He answered, “Our Lord is the One who gave everything its creation, then guided.”
قالَ فَما بالُ القُرونِ الأولىٰ
He asked, “What was the condition of the earlier generations?”
قالَ عِلمُها عِندَ رَبّي في كِتابٍ ۖ لا يَضِلُّ رَبّي وَلا يَنسَى
He answered, “knowledge about them is with my Lord, documented in a record. My Lord neither errs nor forgets.”
الَّذي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الأَرضَ مَهدًا وَسَلَكَ لَكُم فيها سُبُلًا وَأَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً فَأَخرَجنا بِهِ أَزواجًا مِن نَباتٍ شَتّىٰ
He who made the earth a habitat for you, and He traced out routes within it. And He sends down water from the sky, with which We produce diverse pairs of plants.
كُلوا وَارعَوا أَنعامَكُم ۗ إِنَّ في ذٰلِكَ لَآياتٍ لِأُولِي النُّهىٰ
Eat and let your livestock graze. In this, there are signs for those with discernment.
مِنها خَلَقناكُم وَفيها نُعيدُكُم وَمِنها نُخرِجُكُم تارَةً أُخرىٰ
From it, We created you, and into it, We will return you. And from it, We will extract you once again.
وَلَقَد أَرَيناهُ آياتِنا كُلَّها فَكَذَّبَ وَأَبىٰ
We showed him all Our signs, but he denied and refused.
قالَ أَجِئتَنا لِتُخرِجَنا مِن أَرضِنا بِسِحرِكَ يا موسىٰ
He said, “Did you come to evict us from our land with your magic, O Moses?
