وَلَمَّا And when جَآءَ came مُوسَىٰ Musa لِمِيقَـٰتِنَا to Our appointed place وَكَلَّمَهُۥ and spoke to him رَبُّهُۥ his Lord قَالَ he said رَبِّ O my Lord أَرِنِىٓ Show me أَنظُرْ (that) I may look إِلَيْكَ ۚ at You قَالَ He said لَن Never تَرَىٰنِى you (can) see Me وَلَـٰكِنِ but ٱنظُرْ look إِلَى at ٱلْجَبَلِ the mountain فَإِنِ [then] if ٱسْتَقَرَّ it remains مَكَانَهُۥ in its place فَسَوْفَ then تَرَىٰنِى ۚ you (will) see Me فَلَمَّا But when تَجَلَّىٰ revealed (His) Glory رَبُّهُۥ his Lord لِلْجَبَلِ to the mountain جَعَلَهُۥ He made it دَكًّۭا crumbled to dust وَخَرَّ and fell down مُوسَىٰ Musa صَعِقًۭا ۚ unconscious فَلَمَّآ And when أَفَاقَ he recovered قَالَ he said سُبْحَـٰنَكَ Glory be to You تُبْتُ I turn (in repentance) إِلَيْكَ to you وَأَنَا۠ and I am أَوَّلُ (the) first ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ (of) the believers ١٤٣
And when Moses arrived at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said, "My Lord, show me [Yourself] that I may look at You." [Allāh] said, "You will not see Me, but look at the mountain; if it should remain in place, then you will see Me." But when his Lord appeared to the mountain, He rendered it level, and Moses fell unconscious. And when he awoke, he said, "Exalted are You! I have repented to You, and I am the first [among my people] of the believers."
