وَمَا يَاۡتِيۡهِمۡ مِّنۡ ذِكۡرٍ مِّنَ الرَّحۡمٰنِ مُحۡدَثٍ اِلَّا كَانُوۡا عَنۡهُ مُعۡرِضِيۡنَ ٥
26:5Never cometh there unto them a fresh reminder from the Beneficent One, but they turn away from it.
فَقَدۡ كَذَّبُوۡا فَسَيَاۡتِيۡهِمۡ اَنۡۢـبٰٓــؤُا مَا كَانُوۡا بِهٖ يَسۡتَهۡزِءُوۡنَ ٦
26:6Now they have denied (the Truth); but there will come unto them tidings of that whereat they used to scoff.
اَوَلَمۡ يَرَوۡا اِلَى الۡاَرۡضِ كَمۡ اَنۡۢبَتۡنَا فِيۡهَا مِنۡ كُلِّ زَوۡجٍ كَرِيۡمٍ ٧
26:7Have they not seen the earth, how much of every fruitful kind We make to grow therein?
اِنَّ فِىۡ ذٰ لِكَ لَاٰيَةًؕ وَّمَا كَانَ اَكۡثَرُهُمۡ مُّؤۡمِنِيۡنَ ٨
26:8Lo! herein is indeed a portent; yet most of them are not believers.
وَاِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الۡعَزِيۡزُ الرَّحِيۡمُ ٩
26:9And lo! thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.
وَاِذۡ نَادٰى رَبُّكَ مُوۡسٰۤى اَنِ ائۡتِ الۡقَوۡمَ الظّٰلِمِيۡنَۙ ١٠
26:10And when thy Lord called Moses, saying: Go unto the wrongdoing folk,
قَوۡمَ فِرۡعَوۡنَؕ اَلَا يَتَّقُوۡنَ ١١
26:11The folk of Pharaoh. Will they not ward off (evil)?
قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّىۡۤ اَخَافُ اَنۡ يُّكَذِّبُوۡنِؕ ١٢
26:12He said: My Lord! Lo! I fear that they will deny me,
وَيَضِيۡقُ صَدۡرِىۡ وَلَا يَنۡطَلِقُ لِسَانِىۡ فَاَرۡسِلۡ اِلٰى هٰرُوۡنَ ١٣
26:13And I shall be embarrassed, and my tongue will not speak plainly, therefor send for Aaron (to help me).
وَلَهُمۡ عَلَـىَّ ذَنۡۢـبٌ فَاَخَافُ اَنۡ يَّقۡتُلُوۡنِۚ ١٤
26:14And they have a crime against me, so I fear that they will kill me.
قَالَ كَلَّاۚ فَاذۡهَبَا بِاٰيٰتِنَآ اِنَّا مَعَكُمۡ مُّسۡتَمِعُوۡنَ ١٥
26:15He said: Nay, verily. So go ye twain with Our tokens. Lo! We shall be with you, Hearing.
فَاۡتِيَا فِرۡعَوۡنَ فَقُوۡلَاۤ اِنَّا رَسُوۡلُ رَبِّ الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَۙ ١٦
26:16And come together unto Pharaoh and say: Lo! we bear a message of the Lord of the Worlds,
اَنۡ اَرۡسِلۡ مَعَنَا بَنِىۡۤ اِسۡرَآءِيۡلَؕ ١٧
26:17(Saying): Let the Children of Israel go with us.
قَالَ اَلَمۡ نُرَبِّكَ فِيۡنَا وَلِيۡدًا وَّلَبِثۡتَ فِيۡنَا مِنۡ عُمُرِكَ سِنِيۡنَۙ ١٨
26:18(Pharaoh) said (unto Moses): Did we not rear thee among us as a child? And thou didst dwell many years of thy life among us,
وَفَعَلۡتَ فَعۡلَتَكَ الَّتِىۡ فَعَلۡتَ وَاَنۡتَ مِنَ الۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ ١٩
26:19And thou didst that thy deed which thou didst, and thou wast one of the ingrates.
قَالَ فَعَلۡتُهَاۤ اِذًا وَّاَنَا مِنَ الضَّآلِّيۡنَؕ ٢٠
26:20He said: I did it then, when I was of those who are astray.
فَفَرَرۡتُ مِنۡكُمۡ لَمَّا خِفۡتُكُمۡ فَوَهَبَ لِىۡ رَبِّىۡ حُكۡمًا وَّجَعَلَنِىۡ مِنَ الۡمُرۡسَلِيۡنَ ٢١
26:21Then I fled from you when I feared you, and my Lord vouchsafed me a command and appointed me (of the number) of those sent (by Him).
وَتِلۡكَ نِعۡمَةٌ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَـىَّ اَنۡ عَبَّدْتَّ بَنِىۡۤ اِسۡرَآءِيۡلَؕ ٢٢
26:22And this is the past favour wherewith thou reproachest me: that thou hast enslaved the Children of Israel.
قَالَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ وَمَا رَبُّ الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَؕ ٢٣
26:23Pharaoh said: And what is the Lord of the Worlds?
