Qala lilmala-i hawlahu inna hatha lasahirun AAaleemun\n34. (Pharaoh) said to the Chiefs\n Around him: \"This is indeed\n A sorcerer well-versed:\n35. Yureedu an yukhrijakum min ardikum bisihrihi famatha ta/muroona\n35. \"His plan is to get you out\n Of your land by his sorcery;\n Then what is it ye counsel?\"\n36. Qaloo arjih waakhahu waibAAath fee almada-ini hashireena\n36. They said: \"Keep him\n And his brother in suspense\n (For a while), and dispatch\n To the Cities heralds to collect\u2014\n37. Ya/tooka bikulli sahharin AAaleemin\n37. \"And bring up to thee\n All (our) sorcerers well-versed.\"\n38. FajumiAAa alssaharatu limeeqati yawmin maAAloomin\n38. So the sorcerers were got\n Together for the appointment\n Of a day well-known,\n39. Waqeela lilnnasi hal antum mujtamiAAoona\n39. And the people were told:\n \"Are ye (now) assembled?\u2014\n40. LaAAallana nattabiAAu alssaharata in kanoo humu alghalibeena\n40. \"That we may follow\n The sorcerers (in religion)\n If they win?\"\n41. Falamma jaa alssaharatu qaloo lifirAAawna a-inna lana laajran in kunna nahnu alghalibeena\n41. So when the sorcerers arrived,\n They said to Pharaoh:\n \"Of course\u2014shall we have\n A (suitable) reward\n If we win?\"\n42. Qala naAAam wa-innakum ithan lamina almuqarrabeena\n42. He said: \"Yea, (and more),\u2014\n For ye shall in that case\n Be (raised to posts)\n Nearest (to my person).\"\n43. Qala lahum moosa alqoo ma antum mulqoona\n43. Moses said to them:\n \"Throw ye\u2014that which\n Ye are about to throw!\"\n44. Faalqaw hibalahum waAAisiyyahum waqaloo biAAizzati firAAawna inna lanahnu alghaliboona\n44. So they threw their ropes\n And their rods, and said:\n \"By the might of Pharaoh,\n It is we who will\n Certainly win!\"\n45. Faalqa moosa AAasahu fa-itha hiya talqafu ma ya/fikoona\n45. Then Moses threw his rod,\n When, behold, it straightway\n Swallows up all\n The falsehoods which they fake!\n46. Faolqiya alssaharatu sajideena\n46. When did the sorcerers\n Fall down, prostrate in adoration,\n47. Qaloo amanna birabbi alAAalameena\n47. Saying: \"We believe\n In the Lord of the Worlds,\n48. \"The Lord of Moses and Aaron.\"\n49. Qala amantum lahu qabla an athana lakum innahu lakabeerukumu allathee AAallamakumu alssihra falasawfa taAAlamoona laoqattiAAanna aydiyakum waarjulakum min khilafin walaosallibannakum ajmaAAeena\n49. Said (Pharaoh): \"Believe ye\n In Him before I give\n You permission? Surely he\n Is your leader, who has\n Taught you sorcery!\n But soon shall ye know!\n50. Qaloo la dayra inna ila rabbina munqaliboona\n50. \"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!\"\n51. Inna natmaAAu an yaghfira lana rabbuna khatayana an kunna awwala almu/mineena\n51. They said: \"No matter!\n For us, we shall but\n Return to our Lord!\n52. Waawhayna ila moosa an asri biAAibadee innakum muttabaAAoona\n52. \"Only, our desire is\n That our Lord will\n Forgive us our faults,\n That we may become\n Foremost among the Believers!\"","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XXVI.: Shu\u2018ar\u0101a, or The Poets.: Section 3 (34-52)","type":"page"}
