Musa said unto
them: woe unto you! fabricate not against Allah a lie, lest he extirpate
you with a torment, and surely He who fabricateth, loseth. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
62. |
Then they wrangled
about their affair among themselves, and kept secret their private
counsel. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
63. |
They said: verily
these two are magicians, intending to drive you forth from your land
by their magic and to do away with your superior way. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
64. |
Wherefore devise
your stratagem, and then come in a row; and prospered to-day is he
who overcometh. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
65. |
They said: either
thou cast down, or we shall be the first to cast down. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 66. |
He said: nay,
cast ye down. And lo! their cords and their staves were made to appear
to him by their magic as though they were running. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
67. |
Then a kind
of fear in his soul Musa felt. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
68. |
We said: fear
not! verily thou! thou shalt be the superior. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 69. |
And cast thou
down that which is in thy right hand: it shall swallow up that which
they have wrought; They have wrought only a magician's stratagem;
and the magician prospereth not wheresoever he cometh. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 70. |
Then the magicians
were cast down prostrate; they said: we believe in the Lord of Musa
and Harun. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
71. |
Fir'awn said;
believed ye in him ere I gave you leave! verily he is your chief who
hath taught you magic. So I will surely cut off your hands and feet
on the opposite sides, and will surely crucify you on the trunks of
palm-trees, and ye shall surely know whichever of us is severer in
torment and more lasting. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
72. |
They said: we
shall by no means prefer thee to that which hath come to us of the
evidences, and to Him Who hath created us; so decree thou whatsoever
thou shalt decree; thou canst only decree in respect of the life of
this world. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 73. |
Verily we! we
have believed in our Lord, that he may forgive us our faults, and
that to which thou hast constrained us in the way of magic; and Allah
is Best and Most Lasting. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
74. |
Verily whosoever
cometh unto his lord as a Culprit, for him is Hell wherein he will
neither die nor live. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
75. |
And whosoever
cometh unto Him as a believer, and he hath done righteous works---then
these! for them are ranks high. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
76. |
Gardens Everlasting
whereunder rivers flow: abiders therein; that is the meed of him who
hath purified himself. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 77. |
And assuredly
We revealed unto Musa, saying: depart in night with my bondmen, and
make for them in the sea a parth dry: thou Shalt fear neither overtaking,
nor shalt thou be afraid. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
78. |
Then Fir'awn
followed them with his hosts; and there came upon them of the sea
that which came upon them. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 79. |
And Fir'awn
led his nation astray, and guided them not. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 80. |
O Children of
Israel; We delivered you from your enemy, and treated with you on
the right side of the mount and sent down upon you the manna and the
quails. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
81. |
Saying: eat
of the clean things wherewith We have provided you, and wax not exorbitant
in respect thereof, lest My wrath alight on you; and upon whomsoever
My wrath alighteth, he surely perisheth. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
82. |
And verily I
am the Most Forgiving unto whomsoever repenteth and believeth and
worketh righteously, and thereafter letteth himself remain guided. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 83. |
And what hath
made thee hasten from thy people, O Musa? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
84. |
He said: those!
they are close on my footstep, and hastened to Thee, O my Lord; that
Thou mightest be wellpleased. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
85. |
He said: verily
We have tempted thy people after thee, and the Samiri hath led them
astray. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
86. |
So Musa returned
unto his people, indignant and sorrowful. He said: O my people! promised
there not your Lord unto you an excellent promise! Lasted then the
covenant too long for you, or desired ye that the wrath from your
Lord should alight on you, so that ye failed to keep my appointment? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
87. |
They said: we
failed not to keep thy appointment of our own authority, but we were
laden with burthens of the people's ornaments; then we threw them,
and Thus Samiri cast down. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
88. |
And he produced
for them a calf: a body with a low. Then they Said: this is your god
and the god of Musa, and that he forgat. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
89. |
Observed they
not that it returned not unto them a word, and owned not for them
hurt or profit? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 90. |
And assuredly
Harun had said unto them afore: O my people! ye are only being tempted
thereby; and verily your Lord is the Compassionate; so follow me and
obey my command. |
