Minha khalaqnakum wafeeha nuAAeedukum waminha nukhrijukum taratan okhra\n55. From the (earth) did We\n Create you, and into it\n Shall We return you,\n And from it shall We\n Bring you out once again\"\n56. Walaqad araynahu ayatina kullaha fakaththaba waaba\n56. And We showed Pharaoh\n All Our Signs, but he\n Did reject and refuse.\n57. Qala aji/tana litukhrijana min ardina bisihrika ya moosa\n57. He said: \"Hast thou come\n To drive us out\n Of our land with thy magic,\n O Moses?\n58. Falana/tiyannaka bisihrin mithlihi faijAAal baynana wabaynaka mawAAidan la nukhlifuhu nahnu wala anta makanan suwan\n58. \"But we can surely produce\n Magic to match thine!\n So make a tryst\n Between us and thee,\n Which we shall not fail\n To keep\u2014neither we nor thou\u2014\n In a place where both\n Shall have even chances.\"\n59. Qala mawAAidukum yawmu alzzeenati waan yuhshara alnnasu duhan\n59. Moses said: \"Your tryst\n Is the Day of the Festival,\n And let the people be assembled\n When the sun is well up.\"\n60. Fatawalla firAAawnu fajamaAAa kaydahu thumma ata\n60. So Pharaoh withdrew:\n He concerted his plan,\n And then came (back).\n61. Qala lahum moosa waylakum la taftaroo AAala Allahi kathiban fayushitakum biAAathabin waqad khaba mani iftara\n61. Moses said to him:\n Woe to you! Forge not\n Ye a lie against God,\n Lest He destroy you (at once)\nUtterly by chastisement:\n The forger must suffer\n Frustration!\"\n62. FatanazaAAoo amrahum baynahum waasarroo alnnajwa\n62. So they disputed, one with\n Another, over their affair,\n But they kept their talk secret.\n63. Qaloo in hathani lasahirani yureedani an yukhrijakum min ardikum bisihrihima wayathhaba bitareeqatikumu almuthla\n63. They said: \"These two\n Are certainly (expert) magicians:\n Their object is to drive you\n Out from your land\n With their magic, and\n To do away with your\n Most cherished institutions.\n64. FaajmiAAoo kaydakum thumma i/too saffan waqad aflaha alyawma mani istaAAla\n64. \"Therefore concert your plan,\n And then assemble\n In (serried) ranks:\n He wins (all along) to-day\n Who gains the upper hand\"\n65. Qaloo ya moosa imma an tulqiya wa-imma an nakoona awwala man alqa\n65. They said: \"O Moses!\n Whether wilt thou\n That thou throw (first)\n Or that we be the first\n To throw?\"\n66. Qala bal alqoo fa-itha hibaluhum waAAisiyyuhum yukhayyalu ilayhi min sihrihim annaha tasAAa\n66. He said, \"Nay, throw ye\n First!\" Then behold\nTheir ropes and their rods\u2014\n So it seemed to him\n On account of their magic\u2014\n Began to be in lively motion!\n67. Faawjasa fee nafsihi kheefatan moosa\n67. So Moses conceived\n In his mind\n A (sort of) fear.\n68. Qulna la takhaf innaka anta al-aAAla\n68. We said: \"Fear not!\n For thou hast indeed\n The upper hand:\n69. Waalqi ma fee yameenika talqaf ma sanaAAoo innama sanaAAoo kaydu sahirin wala yuflihu alssahiru haythu ata\n69. \"Throw that which is\n In thy right hand:\n Quickly will it swallow up\n That which they have faked\n What they have faked\n Is but a magician's trick:\n And the magician thrives not,\n (No matter) where he goes.\"\n70. Faolqiya alssaharatu sujjadan qaloo amanna birabbi haroona wamoosa\n70. So the magicians were\n Thrown down to prostration:\n They said, \"We believe\n In the Lord of Aaron and Moses\".\n71. Qala amantum lahu qabla an athana lakum innahu lakabeerukumu allathee AAallamakumu alssihra falaoqattiAAanna aydiyakum waarjulakum min khilafin walaosallibannakum fee juthooAAi alnnakhli walataAAlamunna ayyuna ashaddu AAathaban waabqa\n71. (Pharaoh) said: \"Believe ye\n In Him before I give\n You permission? Surely\n This must be your leader,\n Who has taught you magic!\n Be sure I will cut off\nYour hands and feet\n On opposite sides, and I\n Will have you crucified\n On trunks of palm-trees:\n So shall ye know for certain,\n Which of us can give\n The more severe and the more\n Lasting Punishment!\"\n72. Qaloo lan nu/thiraka AAala ma jaana mina albayyinati waallathee fatarana faiqdi ma anta qadin innama taqdee hathihi alhayata alddunya\n72. They said: \"Never shall we\n Regard thee as more than\n The Clear Signs that have\n Come to us; or than\n Him Who created us!\n So decree whatever thou\n Desirest to decree: for thou\n Canst only decree (touching)\n The life of this world.\n73. Inna amanna birabbina liyaghfira lana khatayana wama akrahtana AAalayhi mina alssihri waAllahu khayrun waabqa\n73. \"For us, we have believed\n In our Lord: may He\n Forgive us our faults,\n And the magic to which\n Thou didst compel us:\n For God is Best\n And Most Abiding.\"\n74. Innahu man ya/ti rabbahu mujriman fa-inna lahu jahannama la yamootu feeha wala yahya\n74. Verily he who comes\n To his Lord as a sinner\n (At Judgment),\u2014for him\n Is Hell: therein shall he\n Neither die nor live.\n75. Waman ya/tihi mu/minan qad AAamila alssalihati faola-ika lahumu alddarajatu alAAula\n75. But such as come\n To Him as Believers\n Who have worked righteous deeds,\u2014\n For them are ranks exalted,\u2014\n76. Jannatu AAadnin tajree min tahtiha al-anharu khalideena feeha wathalika jazao man tazakka\n76. Gardens of Eternity,\n Beneath which flow rivers:\n They will dwell therein\n For aye: such is the reward\n Of those who purify\n Themselves (from evil).","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XX.: \u1e6c\u0101-H\u0101.
