These
are verses of the Manifest Book. |

WE
recite unto thee of the story of Musa and Fir'awn with truth fora
people who believe. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
Verily
Fir'awn exalted himself in the earth and made the people thereof into
sects, weakening a party among them, slaying their sons and letting
their women live. Verify he was of the corrupters. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
And
We desired that We should be gracious unto those who were weakened
in the land, and We should make them leaders and We should make them
the inheritors. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
And
We should establish them in the earth, and We should let Fir'awn and
Haman and their hostee from them that which they dreaded. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
And
We inspired the mother of Musa, saying: suckle him, then when thou
fearest for him, cast him into the river and fear not, nor grieve.
Verily We are going to restore him unto thee, and shall make him one
of the sent ones. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
And
the household of Fir'awn took him Up, that he should become unto them
an enemy and a grief. Verily Fir'awn and Haman and their hosts were
sinners. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
And
the wife of Fir'awn said: a comfort unto me and thee slay him not;
belike he shall be of benefit to us or we might like him for a son;
and they perceived not. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
And
the heart of the mother of Musa became void, and she had wellnigh
disclosed him, had We not fortified her heart, that she might remain
one of the believers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
And
she said unto his sister: follow him. So she watched him from afar;
and they perceived not. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
And
We had aforetime forbidden foster-mothers for him; so she said: shall
direct you unto a household who will rear him for you and who will
be unto him good counsellors. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
So
We restored him unto his mother that she might be comforted and not
grieve, and that she might know that the promise of Allah is true.
Yet most of them know not. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
And
when he attained his full strength and became firm, We vouchsafed
unto him wisdom and knowledge; and Thus We reward the well-doers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
And
he entered the City at a time of unawareness of the inhabitants thereof,
and he found therein two men fighting, one being of his own party,
and the other of his enemies. And he who was of his party, called
him for help against him who was of his enemies. So Musa truck him
with his fist, and put an end of him. He said: this is of the work
of the satan, verily he is an enemy, a misleader manifest. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
He
said: my Lord! verily I have wronged my soul, so wherefore forgive
me. So He forgave him. Verily He! He is the Forgiving, the Owner of
Mercy. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
He
said: my Lord! whereas Thou hast favoured me, I shall nevermore be
a supporter of the culprits. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
And
in the morning he was in the city fearing and looking about, when
lo! he who had asked his succour yesterday was crying out unto him.
Musa said: verily thou art a seducer manifest. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
And
when he sought to seize him who was an enemy unto them both, he said:
O Musa wouldst thou slay me as thou didst slay a person yesterday?
Thou seekest only to be a tyrant in the land, and thou seekest not
to be of the reconcilers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 20. |
And
there came a man from the farthest part of the city, running; he said:
O Musa! the chiefs are taking counsel together concerning thee, that
they might slay thee; wherefore go forth thou, verily I am unto thee
of the admonishers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
So
he went forth from thence fearing, looking abcut. He said: my Lord!
deliver me from the wrong-doing people. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
And
when he betook himself toward Madyan, he said: belike my Lord will
guide me even way. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
And
when he arrived at the water of Madyan, he found there a community
of the people watering. And he found, apart from them, two women keeping
back their flocks. He said: what aileth you twain! The twain said:
we water not until the shepherds have driven away their flocks; and
our father is a very old man. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
Then
he watered their flocks for the twain. Then he turned aside into the
shade, and said: my Lord! I verily of the good which Thou mayest send
down for me I am needy. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
Then
there came unto him one of the twain walking bashfully, and said:
verily my father calleth for thee, that he may recompense thee with
a hire for that thou didst water the flock for us. Then, when he was
come unto him and had recounted unto him the whole story, he said:
fear not; thou hast escaped from the wrong-doing people. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
And
said one of the twain: O my father! hire him, for the best that thou
canst hire is the strong and trustworthy one. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
He
said: verily I wish I would marry thee to one of these two daughters
of mine provided that thou hirest thyself to me for eight years. then
if thou completest ten it will de of thine own accord, and I would
not make it hard for thee; thou Shalt find me, Allah willing, of the
righteous. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
Musa
said: be that between me and thee: whichsoever of the two terms I
shall fulfil, it shall be no harshness to me; and of that which we
say Allah is Trustee. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
Then
when Musa had fulfilled the term, and was journeying with his household,
he saw a fire on the side of Tur, and said unto his household: bide
ye; verily I see a fire afar, haply I may bring unto you tidings thereon,
or a brand out: of the fire, haply ye may warm yourselves. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
Then
when he was come thereto, he was called from the right side of the
valley in the ground blest from the tree: Musa! verily I! I am Allah,
the Lord of the worlds; |
