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. |
