WafaAAalta faAAlataka allatee faAAalta waanta mina alkafireena

and you did the deed which you did. You are certainly ungrateful

Qāla Fa`altuhā 'Idhāan Wa 'Anā Mina Ađ-Đāllīn

Moses said, "I did do it and I made a mistake

The Pharaoh replied, "Bring it, if you are telling the truth

Faalqa AAasahu faitha hiya thuAAbanun mubeenun

Moses threw his staff and suddenly it became a serpent

WanazaAAa yadahu faitha hiya baydao lilnnathireena

Then he uncovered his hand and it was sheer white to the onlookers

Qala lilmalai hawlahu inna hatha lasahirun AAaleemun

Qāla Lilmala'i Ĥawlahu 'Inna Hādhā Lasāĥirun `Alīmun

The Pharaoh said to the people around him, "He is certainly a skillful magician

Yureedu an yukhrijakum min ardikum bisihrihi famatha tamuroona

Yurīdu 'An Yukhrijakum Min 'Arđikum Bisiĥrihi Famādhā Ta'murūna

He wants to expel you from your land through his magic. What is your opinion

Qaloo arjih waakhahu waibAAath fee almadaini hashireena

Qālū 'Arjihi Wa 'Akhāhu Wa Ab`ath Fī Al-Madā'ini Ĥāshirīna

They said, "Hold him and his brother off for a while

and summon every skillful magician from all the cities

FajumiAAa alssaharatu limeeqati yawmin maAAloomin

Fajumi`a As-Saĥaratu Limīqāti Yawmin Ma`lūmin

So all the magicians gathered together

Waqeela lilnnasi hal antum mujtamiAAoona

Wa Qīla Lilnnāsi Hal 'Antum Mujtami`ūna

at the appointed time

LaAAallana nattabiAAu alssaharata in kanoo humu alghalibeena

Falammā Jā'a As-Saĥaratu Qālū Lifir`awna 'A'inna Lanā La'ajrāan 'In Kunnā Naĥnu Al-Ghālibīna

Qāla Lahum Mūsá 'Alqū Mā 'Antum Mulqūna

(Moses) asked the magicians, "Cast down what you want to

Fa'alqaw Ĥibālahum Wa `Işīyahum Wa Qālū Bi`izzati Fir`awna 'Innā Lanaĥnu Al-Ghālibūna

So they cast down their ropes and staffs saying, "By the honor of the Pharaoh we shall certainly become the winners

Faalqa moosa AAasahu faitha hiya talqafu ma yafikoona

Fa'alqá Mūsá `Aşāhu Fa'idhā Hiya Talqafu Mā Ya'fikūna

Then Moses cast down his staff and suddenly it swallowed up what they had falsely invented

Faolqiya alssaharatu sajideena

Fa'ulqiya As-Saĥaratu Sājidīna

The magicians fell down in adoration

Qaloo amanna birabbi alAAalameena

Qālū 'Āmannā Birabbi Al-`Ālamīna

saying, "We believe in the Lord of the Universe

Rabbi moosa waharoona

Rabbi Mūsá Wa Hārūna

and the Lord of Moses and Aaron

Qala amantum lahu qabla an athana lakum innahu lakabeerukumu allathee AAallamakumu alssihra falasawfa taAAlamoona laoqattiAAanna aydiyakum waarjulakum min khilafin walaosallibannakum ajmaAAeena

Qaloo la dayra inna ila rabbina munqaliboona

Qālū Lā Đayra 'Innā 'Ilá Rabbinā Munqalibūna

Waawhayna ila moosa an asri biAAibadee innakum muttabaAAoona

Wa 'Awĥaynā 'Ilá Mūsá 'An 'Asri Bi`ibādī 'Innakum Muttaba`ūna

We hope that our Lord will forgive us for our sins; we were not believers at first

Faarsala firAAawnu fee almadaini hashireena

Fa'arsala Fir`awnu Fī Al-Madā'ini Ĥāshirīna

We sent a revelation to Moses telling him to leave with our servants during the night; they would be pursued (by the Pharaoh)

Inna haolai lashirthimatun qaleeloona

Inna Hā'uulā' Lashirdhimatun Qalīlūna

The Pharaoh sent word to all the cities saying

Wainnahum lana laghaithoona

Wa 'Innahum Lanā Laghā'ižūna

There is a small group of people

Wainna lajameeAAun hathiroona

Wa 'Innā Lajamī`un Ĥādhirūna

who have enraged us greatly

Fa'akhrajnāhum Min Jannātin Wa `Uyūnin

We are warning all of you about them

Wa Kunūzin Wa Maqāmin Karīmin

We deprived them (the unbelievers) of gardens, springs

Kadhālika Wa 'Awrathnāhā Banī 'Isrā'īla

treasures, and graceful dwellings

Falamma taraa aljamAAani qala ashabu moosa inna lamudrakoona

The people of the Pharaoh pursued them at sunrise

Qala kalla inna maAAiya rabbee sayahdeeni

Qāla Kallā 'Inna Ma`iya Rabbī Sayahdīni

When the two groups came close to each other, the companions of Moses said, "We will be caught

Fa'awĥaynā 'Ilá Mūsá 'Ani Ađrib Bi`aşāka Al-Baĥra Fānfalaqa Fakāna Kullu Firqin Kālţţawdi Al-`Ažīmi

Moses said, "Certainly not. My Lord is with me and He will certainly guide me

Waazlafna thamma alakhareena

Wa 'Azlafnā Thamma Al-'Ākharīna

We sent a revelation to Moses saying, "Strike the sea with your staff." The sea was rent asunder and each side stood high up like a huge mountain

Waanjayna moosa waman maAAahu ajmaAAeena

Wa 'Anjaynā Mūsá Wa Man Ma`ahu 'Ajma`īna

Then We brought the two parties closer

We saved Moses and all the people with him

Inna fee thalika laayatan wama kana aktharuhum mumineena

and drowned the other party

Wainna rabbaka lahuwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu

In this there was certainly evidence (of the Truth), but most of them did not have any faith

Your Lord is certainly Majestic and All-merciful
