Tilkal quraa naqussu 'alaika min ambaaa'ihaa; wa laqad jaaa'at hum Rusuluhum bilbaiyinaati famaa kaanoo liyu'minoo bimaa kazzaboo min qabl; kazaalika yatba'ul laahu 'alaa quloobil kaafireen
Those cities – We relate to you, [O Muhammad], some of their news. And certainly did their messengers come to them with clear proofs, but they were not to believe in that which they had denied before. Thus does Allah seal over the hearts of the disbelievers.
Wa maa wajadnaa li aksarihim min 'ahd; wa inw wajadnaaa aksarahum lafaasiqeen
And We did not find for most of them any covenant; but indeed, We found most of them defiantly disobedient.
Summa ba'asnaa mim ba'dihim Moosaa bi Aayaatinaaa ilaa Fir'awana wa mala'ihee fazalamoo bihaa fanzur kaifa kaana 'aaqibatul mufsideen
Then We sent after them Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his establishment, but they were unjust toward them. So see how was the end of the corrupters.
Wa qaala Moosaa yaa Fir'awnu inee Rasoolum mir Rabbil 'aalameen
And Moses said, "O Pharaoh, I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds
Haqeequn 'alaaa al laaa aqoola 'alal laahi illal haqq; qad ji'tukum bibaiyinatim mir Rabbikum fa arsil ma'iya Baneee Israaa'eel
[Who is] obligated not to say about Allah except the truth. I have come to you with clear evidence from your Lord, so send with me the Children of Israel."
Qaala in kunta ji'ta bi Aayatin faati bihaaa in kunta minas saadiqeen
[Pharaoh] said, "If you have come with a sign, then bring it forth, if you should be of the truthful."
Qa alqaa 'asaahu fa izaa hiya su'baanum mubeen
So he [i.e., Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent, manifest.
Wa naza'a yadahoo fa izaa hiya baidaaa'u linnaazireen
And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white [with radiance] for the observers.
Qaalal mala-u min qawmi Fir'awna inna haazaa lasaa hirun 'aleem
Said the eminent among the people of Pharaoh, "Indeed, this is a learned magician
Yureedu ai yukhrijakum min ardikum famaazaa taamuroon
Who wants to expel you from your land [through magic], so what do you instruct?"
