Qala almalao min qawmi firAAawna inna hatha lasahirun AAaleemun\n109. Said the Chiefs of the people\n Of Pharaoh: \"This is indeed\n A sorcerer well-versed.\n110. Yureedu an yukhrijakum min ardikum famatha ta/muroona\n110. \"His plan is to get you out\n Of your land: then\n What is it ye counsel?\"\n111. Qaloo arjih waakhahu waarsil fee almada-ini hashireena\n111. They said: \"Keep him\n And his brother in suspense\n (For a while); and send\n To the cities men to collect\u2014\n112. Ya/tooka bikulli sahirin AAaleemin\n112. And bring up to thee\n All (our) sorcerers well-versed.\n113. Wajaa alssaharatu firAAawna qaloo inna lana laajran in kunna nahnu alghalibeena\n113. So there came\n The sorcerers to Pharaoh:\n They said, \"Of course\n We shall have a (suitable)\n Reward if we win!\"\n114. Qala naAAam wa-innakum lamina almuqarrabeena\n114. He said: \"Yea, (and more),\u2014\n For ye shall in that case\n Be (raised to posts)\n Nearest (to my person).\"\n115. Qaloo ya moosa imma an tulqiya wa-imma an nakoona nahnu almulqeena\n115. They said: \"O Moses!\n Wilt thou throw (first),\n Or shall we have\n The (first) throw?\"\n116. Qala alqoo falamma alqaw saharoo aAAyuna alnnasi waistarhaboohum wajaoo bisihrin AAatheemin\n116. Said Moses: \"Throw ye (first).\"\n So when they threw,\n They bewitched the eyes\n Of the people, and struck\n Terror into them: for they\n Showed a great (feat of) magic.\n117. Waawhayna ila moosa an alqi AAasaka fa-itha hiya talqafu ma ya/fikoona\n117. We put it into Moses's mind\n By inspiration: \"Throw (now)\n Thy rod\": and behold!\n It swallows up straightway\n All the falsehoods\n Which they fake!\n118. FawaqaAAa alhaqqu wabatala ma kanoo yaAAmaloona\n118. Thus truth was confirmed.\n And all that they did\n Was made of no effect.\n119. Faghuliboo hunalika wainqalaboo saghireena\n119. So the (great ones) were vanquished\n There and then, and were\n Made to look small.\n120. Waolqiya alssaharatu sajideena\n120. But the sorcerers fell down\n Prostrate in adoration,\n121. Qaloo amanna birabbi alAAalameena\n121. Saying: \"We believe\n In the Lord of the Worlds,\u2014\n122. \"The Lord of Moses and Aaron.\n123. Qala firAAawnu amantum bihi qabla an athana lakum inna hatha lamakrun makartumoohu fee almadeenati litukhrijoo minha ahlaha fasawfa taAAlamoona\n123. Said Pharaoh: \"Believe ye\n In Him before I give\n You permission? Surely\n This is a trick which ye\n Have planned in the City\n To drive out its people:\n But soon shall ye know\n (The consequences).\n124. LaoqatiAAanna aydiyakum waarjulakum min khilafin thumma laosallibannakum ajmaAAeena\n124. \"Be sure I will cut off\n Your hands and your feet\n On opposite sides, and I\n Will cause you all\n To die on the cross.\"\n125. Qaloo inna ila rabbina munqaliboona\n125. They said: \"For us,\n We are but sent back\n Unto our Lord:\n126. Wama tanqimu minna illa an amanna bi-ayati rabbina lamma jaatna rabbana afrigh AAalayna sabran watawaffana muslimeena\n126. \"But thou dost wreak\n Thy vengeance on us\n Simply because we believed\n In the Signs of our Lord\n When they reached us!\n Our Lord! pour out on us\n Patience and constancy, and take\n Our souls unto Thee\n As Muslims (who bow\n To Thy Will)!","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra VII.: A\u2019r\u0101f, or the Heights: Section 14 (109-126)","type":"page"}
