وَأَن لَّا تَعْلُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّي آتِيكُم بِسُلْطَانٍ مُّبِينٍ

Wa al laa ta'loo 'alal laahi innee aateekum bisultaanim mubeen

And [saying], "Be not haughty with Allah. Indeed, I have come to you with clear authority.

وَإِنِّي عُذْتُ بِرَبِّي وَرَبِّكُمْ أَن تَرْجُمُونِ

Wa innee 'uztu bi Rabbee wa rabbikum an tarjumoon

And indeed, I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me.

وَإِن لَّمْ تُؤْمِنُوا لِي فَاعْتَزِلُونِ

Wa il lam tu'minoo lee fa'taziloon

But if you do not believe me, then leave me alone."

فَدَعَا رَبَّهُ أَنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ قَوْمٌ مُّجْرِمُونَ

Fada'aa rabbahooo anna haaa'ulaaa'i qawmum mujrimoon

And [finally] he called to his Lord that these were a criminal people.

فَأَسْرِ بِعِبَادِي لَيْلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ

Fa asri bi'ibaadee lailan innakum muttaba'oon

[Allah said], "Then set out with My servants by night. Indeed, you are to be pursued.

وَاتْرُكِ الْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا ۖ إِنَّهُمْ جُندٌ مُّغْرَقُونَ

Watrukil bahra rahwan innahum jundum mughraqoon

And leave the sea in stillness. Indeed, they are an army to be drowned."

كَمْ تَرَكُوا مِن جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ

Kam tarakoo min jannaatinw wa 'uyoon

How much they left behind of gardens and springs

وَزُرُوعٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ

Wa zuroo'inw wa maqaa min kareem

And crops and noble sites

وَنَعْمَةٍ كَانُوا فِيهَا فَاكِهِينَ

Wa na'matin kaanoo feehaa faakiheen

And comfort wherein they were amused.

كَذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَأَوْرَثْنَاهَا قَوْمًا آخَرِينَ

Kazaalika wa awrasnaahaa qawman aakhareen

Thus. And We caused to inherit it another people.

فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّمَاءُ وَالْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا مُنظَرِينَ

Famaa bakat 'alaihimus samaaa'u wal ardu wa maa kaanoo munzareen

And the heaven and earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved.

وَلَقَدْ نَجَّيْنَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ الْمُهِينِ

Wa laqad najjainaa Baneee Israaa'eela minal'azaabil muheen

And We certainly saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment -

مِن فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ عَالِيًا مِّنَ الْمُسْرِفِينَ

Min Fir'awn; innahoo kaana 'aaliyam minal musrifeen

From Pharaoh. Indeed, he was a haughty one among the transgressors.

وَلَقَدِ اخْتَرْنَاهُمْ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ

Wa laqadikh tarnaahum 'alaa 'ilmin 'alal 'aalameen

And We certainly chose them by knowledge over [all] the worlds.

وَآتَيْنَاهُم مِّنَ الْآيَاتِ مَا فِيهِ بَلَاءٌ مُّبِينٌ

Wa aatainaahum minal aayaati maa feehi balaaa'um mubeen

And We gave them of signs that in which there was a clear trial.

إِنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ لَيَقُولُونَ

Inna haaa'ulaaa'i la yaqooloon

Indeed, these [disbelievers] are saying,

إِنْ هِيَ إِلَّا مَوْتَتُنَا الْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُنشَرِينَ

In hiya illaa mawtatunal oolaa wa maa nahnu bimun shareen

"There is not but our first death, and we will not be resurrected.

فَأْتُوا بِآبَائِنَا إِن كُنتُمْ صَادِقِينَ

Faatoo bi aabaaa'inaaa inkuntum saadiqeen

Then bring [back] our forefathers, if you should be truthful."

أَهُمْ خَيْرٌ أَمْ قَوْمُ تُبَّعٍ وَالَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ أَهْلَكْنَاهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مُجْرِمِينَ

Ahum khayrun am qawmu Tubba'inw wallazeena min qablihim; ahlaknaahum innahum kaanoo mujrimeen

Are they better or the people of Tubba' and those before them? We destroyed them, [for] indeed, they were criminals.

وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَاعِبِينَ

Wa maa khalaqnas samaawaati wal arda wa maa baina humaa laa'ibeen

And We did not create the heavens and earth and that between them in play.

مَا خَلَقْنَاهُمَا إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

Maa khalaqnaahumaaa illaa bilhaqqi wa laakinna aksarahum laa ya'lamoon

We did not create them except in truth, but most of them do not know.
