تِلْكَ ءَايَـٰتُ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ
Tilka Aayaatul Kitaabil Mubeen
These are the Verses of the Clarifying Book
لَعَلَّكَ بَـٰخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ
La'allaka baakhi'un nafsaka allaa yakoonoo mu'mineen
Perhaps you will destroy yourself with grief, because they do not become believers
إِن نَّشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ ءَايَةً فَظَلَّتْ أَعْنَـٰقُهُمْ لَهَا خَـٰضِعِينَ
In nashaa nunazzil 'alaihim minas samaaa'i Aayatan fazallat a'naaquhum lahaa khaadi'een
If We will, We can send down upon them a sign from heaven, at which their necks will stay bent in humility
وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن ذِكْرٍ مِّنَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ مُحْدَثٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضِينَ
Wa maa yaateehim min zikrim minar Rahmaani muhdasin illaa kaanoo 'anhu mu'rideen
No fresh reminder comes to them from the Most Merciful, but they turn their backs at it
فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوا۟ فَسَيَأْتِيهِمْ أَنۢبَـٰٓؤُا۟ مَا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ
Faqad kazzaboo fasa yaateehim ambaaa'u maa kaanoo bihee yastahzi'oon
They have denied the truth, but soon will come to them the news of what they ridiculed
أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ كَمْ أَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِيمٍ
Awa lam yaraw ilal ardi kam ambatnaa feehaa min kulli zawjin kareem
Have they not seen the earth, and how many beautiful pairs We produced therein
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَةً ۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكْثَرُهُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
Inn fee zaalika la Aayah; wa maa kaana aksaruhum mu'mineen
Surely in this is a sign, but most of them are not believers
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
Wa inna Rabbaka la Huwal 'Azeezur Raheem
Most surely, your Lord is the Almighty, the Merciful
وَإِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبُّكَ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱئْتِ ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
Wa iz naadaa Rabbuka Moosaaa ani'-til qawmaz zaalimeen
Your Lord called to Moses, “Go to the tyrannical people
قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ أَلَا يَتَّقُونَ
Qawma Fir'awn; alaa yattaqoon
The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear?”
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ أَن يُكَذِّبُونِ
Qaala Rabbi inneee akhaafu ai yukazziboon
He said, “My Lord, I fear they will reject me
وَيَضِيقُ صَدْرِى وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِى فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَىٰ هَـٰرُونَ
Wa yadeequ sadree wa laa yantaliqu lisaanee fa arsil ilaa Haaroon
And I become stressed, and my tongue is not fluent, so send Aaron too
وَلَهُمْ عَلَىَّ ذَنۢبٌ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلُونِ
Wa lahum 'alaiya zambun fa akhaafu ai yaqtuloon
And they have a charge against me, so I fear they will kill me.”

Faatiyaa Fir'awna faqoolaaa innaa Rasoolu Rabbil 'aalameen
Go to Pharaoh, and say, ‘We are the Messengers of the Lord of the Worlds
أَنْ أَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
An arsil ma'anaa Baneee Israaa'eel
Let the Children of Israel go with us.'“
قَالَ أَلَمْ نُرَبِّكَ فِينَا وَلِيدًا وَلَبِثْتَ فِينَا مِنْ عُمُرِكَ سِنِينَ
Qaala alam nurabbika feenaa waleedanw wa labista feenaa min 'umurika sineen
He said, “Did we not raise you among us as a child, and you stayed among us for many of your years
وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِى فَعَلْتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ
Wa fa'alta fa'latakal latee fa'alta wa anta minal kaafireen
And you committed that deed you committed, and you were ungrateful.”
قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَآ إِذًا وَأَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ
Qaala fa'altuhaaa izanw wa ana minad daaaleen
He said, “I did it then, when I was of those astray
فَفَرَرْتُ مِنكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِى رَبِّى حُكْمًا وَجَعَلَنِى مِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Fafarartu minkum lam maa khiftukum fawahaba lee Rabbee hukmanw wa ja'alanee minal mursaleen
And I fled from you when I feared you; but my Lord gave me wisdom, and made me one of the messengers
وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَىَّ أَنْ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
Wa tilka ni'matun tamun nuhaa 'alaiya an 'abbatta Baneee Israaa'eel
Is that the favor you taunt me with, although you have enslaved the Children of Israel?”
قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
Qaala Fir'awnu wa maa Rabbul 'aalameen
Pharaoh said, “And what is the Lord of the Worlds?”

Qaala inna Rasoolakumul lazee ursila ilaikum lamajnoon
He said, “This messenger of yours, who is sent to you, is crazy.”
قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ
Qaala Rabbul mashriqi wal maghribi wa maa baina humaa in kuntum ta'qiloon
He said, “Lord of the East and the West, and everything between them, if you understand.”

فَأَلْقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ ثُعْبَانٌ مُّبِينٌ
Fa alqaa 'asaahu fa izaaa hiya su'baanum mubeen
So he cast his staff; and it was a serpent, plain to see

Wa naza'a yadahoo faizaa hiya baidaaa'u linnaa zireen

Yureedu ai yukhrijakum min ardikum bisihrihee famaazaa taamuroon
He intends to drive you out of your land with his magic, so what do you recommend?”
قَالُوٓا۟ أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبْعَثْ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَـٰشِرِينَ
Qaalooo arjih wa akhaahu wab'as filmadaaa'ini haashireen
They said, “Delay him and his brother, and send recruiters to the cities
يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍ
Yaatooka bikulli sah haarin 'aleem
To bring you every experienced magician.”
فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَـٰتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ

So the magicians were gathered for the appointment on a specified day
وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنتُم مُّجْتَمِعُونَ
Wa qeela linnaasi hal antum mujtami'oon
And it was said to the people, “Are you all gathered
لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ ٱلسَّحَرَةَ إِن كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَ
La'allanaa nattabi'us saharata in kaanoo humul ghaalibeen
That we may follow the magicians, if they are the winners.”
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ قَالُوا۟ لِفِرْعَوْنَ أَئِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِن كُنَّا نَحْنُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبِينَ
Falammaa jaaa'as saharatu qaaloo li Fir'awna a'inna lanaa la ajjran in kunnaa nahnul ghaalibeen
When the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, “Is there a reward for us, if we are the winners?”

Qaala na'am wa innakum izal laminal muqarrabeen
He said, “Yes, and you will be among those favored.”

Moses said to them, “Present what you intend to present.”
فَأَلْقَوْا۟ حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْغَـٰلِبُونَ
Fa alqaw hibaalahum wa 'isiyyahum wa qaaloo bi'izzati Fir'awna innaa lanahnul ghaaliboon
So they threw their ropes and their sticks, and said, “By the majesty of Pharaoh, we will be the winners.”

Fa alqaa Moosaa 'asaahu fa izaa hiya talqafu maa yaafikoon
Then Moses threw his staff, and behold, it began swallowing their trickery

He said, “Did you believe in Him before I have given you permission? He must be your chief, who taught you magic. You will soon know. I will cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, and I will crucify you all.”
قَالُوا۟ لَا ضَيْرَ ۖ إِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا مُنقَلِبُونَ
Qaaloo la daira innaaa ilaa Rabbinaa munqalliboon
They said, “No problem. To our Lord we will return

And they are enraging us
وَإِنَّا لَجَمِيعٌ حَـٰذِرُونَ

He said, “No; my Lord is with me, He will guide me.”

They descend upon every sinful liar
يُلْقُونَ ٱلسَّمْعَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ كَـٰذِبُونَ
Yulqoonas sam'a wa aksaruhum aaziboon
They give ear, and most of them are liars
وَٱلشُّعَرَآءُ يَتَّبِعُهُمُ ٱلْغَاوُۥنَ
Washshu 'araaa'u yattabi 'uhumul ghaawoon
And as for the poets—the deviators follow them
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّهُمْ فِى كُلِّ وَادٍ يَهِيمُونَ
Alam tara annahum fee kulli waadiny yaheemoon
وَأَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ مَا لَا يَفْعَلُونَ
Wa annahum yaqooloona ma laa yaf'aloon
Do you not see how they ramble in every style
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَذَكَرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَٱنتَصَرُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا ظُلِمُوا۟ ۗ وَسَيَعْلَمُ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ أَىَّ مُنقَلَبٍ يَنقَلِبُونَ
Illal lazeena aamanoo w a'amilus saalihaati wa zakarul laaha kaseeranw wantasaroo mim ba'di maa zulimoo; wa saya'lamul lazeena zalamooo aiya munqalbiny yanqaliboon
Except for those who believe, and do good deeds, and remember God frequently, and defend themselves after they are wronged. As for those who do wrong, they will know by what overturning they will be overturned
