ASY SYU'ARAA' (PARA PENYAIR)

فَلَمَّا جَاء السَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْغَالِبِينَ

And when the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, "Is there indeed for us a reward if we are the predominant?"

قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ إِذًا لَّمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ

He said, "Yes, and indeed, you will then be of those near [to me]."

قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَى أَلْقُوا مَا أَنتُم مُّلْقُونَ

Moses said to them, "Throw whatever you will throw."

فَأَلْقَوْا حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ الْغَالِبُونَ

So they threw their ropes and their staffs and said, "By the might of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are predominant."

فَأَلْقَى مُوسَى عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ

Then Moses threw his staff, and at once it devoured what they falsified.

فَأُلْقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ سَاجِدِينَ

So the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah ].

قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds,

رَبِّ مُوسَى وَهَارُونَ

The Lord of Moses and Aaron."

قَالَ آمَنتُمْ لَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ آذَنَ لَكُمْ إِنَّهُ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ الَّذِي عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَافٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

[Pharaoh] said, "You believed Moses before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic, but you are going to know. I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you all."

قَالُوا لَا ضَيْرَ إِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ

They said, "No harm. Indeed, to our Lord we will return.

إِنَّا نَطْمَعُ أَن يَغْفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطَايَانَا أَن كُنَّا أَوَّلَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Indeed, we aspire that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we were the first of the believers."

وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَى مُوسَى أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِي إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ

And We inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants; indeed, you will be pursued."

فَأَرْسَلَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِي الْمَدَائِنِ حَاشِرِينَ

Then Pharaoh sent among the cities gatherers

إِنَّ هَؤُلَاء لَشِرْذِمَةٌ قَلِيلُونَ

[And said], "Indeed, those are but a small band,

وَإِنَّهُمْ لَنَا لَغَائِظُونَ

And indeed, they are enraging us,

وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَاذِرُونَ

And indeed, we are a cautious society... "

فَأَخْرَجْنَاهُم مِّن جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ

So We removed them from gardens and springs

وَكُنُوزٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ

And treasures and honorable station -

كَذَلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَاهَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ

Thus. And We caused to inherit it the Children of Israel.

فَأَتْبَعُوهُم مُّشْرِقِينَ

So they pursued them at sunrise.
