Fir'aun (Pharaoh) said: "Bring it forth then, if you are of the truthful!" |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 32. |
So [Musa (Moses)] threw his stick, and behold, it was a serpent, manifest. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 33. |
And
he drew out his hand, and behold, it was white to all beholders! |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 34. |
[Fir'aun
(Pharaoh)] said to the chiefs
around him: "Verily! This is indeed a well-versed sorcerer. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 35. |
"He
wants to drive you out of your land by his sorcery, then what is it
your counsel, and what do you command?" |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 36. |
They
said: "Put him off and his brother (for
a while), and send callers to
the cities; |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 37. |
"To
bring up to you every well-versed sorcerer." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 38. |
So
the sorcerers were assembled at a fixed time on a day appointed. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 39. |
And
it was said to the people: "Are you (too) going to assemble? |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 40. |
"That
we may follow the sorcerers [who
were on Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) religion of disbelief] if they are the winners." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 41. |
So
when the sorcerers arrived, they said to Fir'aun (Pharaoh):
"Will there surely be a reward for us if we are the winners?" |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 42. |
He
said: "Yes, and you shall then verily be of those brought near (to myself)." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 43. |
Musa (Moses) said to them: "Throw what you are going to throw!" |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 44. |
So
they threw their ropes and their sticks, and said: "By the might
of Fir'aun (Pharaoh),
it is we who will certainly win!" |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 45. |
Then
Musa (Moses) threw his stick, and behold, it swallowed up all the falsehoods which
they showed! |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 46. |
And
the sorcerers fell down prostrate. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 47. |
Saying:
"We believe in the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind,
jinns and all that exists). |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 48. |
"The
Lord of Musa (Moses) and Harun (Aaron)." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 49. |
[Fir'aun
(Pharaoh)] said: "You have
believed in him before I give you leave. Surely, he indeed is your
chief, who has taught you magic! So verily, you shall come to know.
Verily, I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides,
and I will crucify you all." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 50. |
They
said: "No harm! Surely, to our Lord (Allah) we are to return; |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 51. |
"Verily!
We really hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins, as we are the
first of the believers [in
Musa (Moses) and in the Monotheism which he has brought from Allah]." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 52. |
And
We inspired Musa (Moses),
saying: "Take away My slaves by night, verily, you will be pursued." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 53. |
Then
Fir'aun (Pharaoh) sent callers to (all) the cities. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 54. |
(Saying):
"Verily! These indeed are but a small band. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 55. |
"And
verily, they have done what has enraged us; |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 56. |
"But
we are host all assembled, amply fore-warned." |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 57. |
So,
We expelled them from gardens and springs, |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 58. |
Treasures,
and every kind of honourable place. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 59. |
Thus [We turned them (Pharaoh's
people) out] and We caused the
Children of Israel to inherit them. |
| |
|
| |
|
|
| 60. |
So
they pursued them at sunrise. |
