۞ قَالَ Said ٱلْمَلَأُ the chiefs ٱلَّذِينَ (of) those who ٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ were arrogant مِن among قَوْمِهِۦ his people لَنُخْرِجَنَّكَ We will surely drive you out يَـٰشُعَيْبُ O Shuaib وَٱلَّذِينَ And those who ءَامَنُوا۟ (have) believed مَعَكَ with you مِن from قَرْيَتِنَآ our city أَوْ or لَتَعُودُنَّ you must return فِى to مِلَّتِنَا ۚ our religion قَالَ He said أَوَلَوْ Even if كُنَّا we are كَـٰرِهِينَ (the) ones who hate (it) ٨٨

قَدِ Verily ٱفْتَرَيْنَا we would have fabricated عَلَى against ٱللَّهِ Allah كَذِبًا a lie إِنْ if عُدْنَا we returned فِى in مِلَّتِكُم your religion بَعْدَ after إِذْ [when] نَجَّىٰنَا saved us ٱللَّهُ Allah مِنْهَا ۚ from it وَمَا And not يَكُونُ it is لَنَآ for us أَن that نَّعُودَ we return فِيهَآ in it إِلَّآ except أَن that يَشَآءَ wills ٱللَّهُ Allah رَبُّنَا ۚ our Lord وَسِعَ Encompasses رَبُّنَا (by) Our Lord كُلَّ every شَىْءٍ thing عِلْمًا ۚ (in) knowledge عَلَى Upon ٱللَّهِ Allah تَوَكَّلْنَا ۚ we put our trust رَبَّنَا Our Lord ٱفْتَحْ Decide بَيْنَنَا between us وَبَيْنَ and between قَوْمِنَا our people بِٱلْحَقِّ in truth وَأَنتَ and You خَيْرُ (are the) Best ٱلْفَـٰتِحِينَ (of) those who Decide ٨٩

وَقَالَ And said ٱلْمَلَأُ the chiefs ٱلَّذِينَ (of) those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieved مِن among قَوْمِهِۦ his people لَئِنِ If ٱتَّبَعْتُمْ you follow شُعَيْبًا Shuaib إِنَّكُمْ indeed, you إِذًۭا then لَّخَـٰسِرُونَ (will be) certainly losers ٩٠

فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ Then seized them ٱلرَّجْفَةُ the earthquake فَأَصْبَحُوا۟ then they became فِى in دَارِهِمْ their home(s) جَـٰثِمِينَ fallen prone ٩١

ٱلَّذِينَ Those who كَذَّبُوا۟ denied شُعَيْبًۭا Shuaib كَأَن (became) as if لَّمْ not يَغْنَوْا۟ they (had) lived فِيهَا ۚ therein ٱلَّذِينَ Those who كَذَّبُوا۟ denied شُعَيْبًۭا Shuaib كَانُوا۟ they were هُمُ them ٱلْخَـٰسِرِينَ the losers ٩٢

فَتَوَلَّىٰ So he turned away عَنْهُمْ from them وَقَالَ and said يَـٰقَوْمِ O my people لَقَدْ Verily أَبْلَغْتُكُمْ I (have) conveyed to you رِسَـٰلَـٰتِ (the) Messages رَبِّى (of) my Lord وَنَصَحْتُ and advised لَكُمْ ۖ [to] you فَكَيْفَ So how could ءَاسَىٰ I grieve عَلَىٰ for قَوْمٍۢ a people كَـٰفِرِينَ (who are) disbelievers ٩٣

وَمَآ And not أَرْسَلْنَا We sent فِى in قَرْيَةٍۢ a city مِّن any نَّبِىٍّ Prophet إِلَّآ except أَخَذْنَآ We seized أَهْلَهَا its people بِٱلْبَأْسَآءِ with adversity وَٱلضَّرَّآءِ and hardship لَعَلَّهُمْ so that they may يَضَّرَّعُونَ (become) humble ٩٤

ثُمَّ Then بَدَّلْنَا We changed مَكَانَ (in) place ٱلسَّيِّئَةِ (of) the bad ٱلْحَسَنَةَ the good حَتَّىٰ until عَفَوا۟ they increased وَّقَالُوا۟ and said قَدْ Verily مَسَّ (had) touched ءَابَآءَنَا our forefathers ٱلضَّرَّآءُ the adversity وَٱلسَّرَّآءُ and the ease فَأَخَذْنَـٰهُم So We seized them بَغْتَةًۭ suddenly وَهُمْ while they لَا (did) not يَشْعُرُونَ perceive ٩٥

وَلَوْ And if أَنَّ [that] أَهْلَ people ٱلْقُرَىٰٓ (of) the cities ءَامَنُوا۟ (had) believed وَٱتَّقَوْا۟ and feared Allah لَفَتَحْنَا surely We (would have) opened عَلَيْهِم upon them بَرَكَـٰتٍۢ blessings مِّنَ from ٱلسَّمَآءِ the heaven وَٱلْأَرْضِ and the earth وَلَـٰكِن but كَذَّبُوا۟ they denied فَأَخَذْنَـٰهُم So We seized them بِمَا for what كَانُوا۟ they used to يَكْسِبُونَ earn ٩٦

أَفَأَمِنَ Then did feel secure أَهْلُ (the) people ٱلْقُرَىٰٓ (of) the cities أَن that يَأْتِيَهُم comes to them بَأْسُنَا Our punishment بَيَـٰتًۭا (at) night وَهُمْ while they نَآئِمُونَ (were) asleep ٩٧

أَوَأَمِنَ Or felt secure أَهْلُ (the) people ٱلْقُرَىٰٓ (of) the cities أَن that يَأْتِيَهُم comes to them بَأْسُنَا Our punishment ضُحًۭى (in) daylight وَهُمْ while they يَلْعَبُونَ (were) playing ٩٨

أَفَأَمِنُوا۟ Then did they feel secure مَكْرَ (from the) plan ٱللَّهِ ۚ (of) Allah فَلَا But not يَأْمَنُ feel secure مَكْرَ (from the) plan ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah إِلَّا except ٱلْقَوْمُ the people ٱلْخَـٰسِرُونَ (who are) the losers ٩٩

أَوَلَمْ Would it not يَهْدِ guide لِلَّذِينَ [for] those who يَرِثُونَ inherit ٱلْأَرْضَ the land مِنۢ from بَعْدِ after أَهْلِهَآ its people أَن that لَّوْ if نَشَآءُ We willed أَصَبْنَـٰهُم We (could) afflict them بِذُنُوبِهِمْ ۚ for their sins وَنَطْبَعُ and We put a seal عَلَىٰ over قُلُوبِهِمْ their hearts فَهُمْ so they لَا (do) not يَسْمَعُونَ hear ١٠٠

تِلْكَ These ٱلْقُرَىٰ (were) the cities نَقُصُّ We relate عَلَيْكَ to you مِنْ of أَنۢبَآئِهَا ۚ their news وَلَقَدْ And certainly جَآءَتْهُمْ came to them رُسُلُهُم their Messengers بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ with clear proofs فَمَا but not كَانُوا۟ they were لِيُؤْمِنُوا۟ to believe بِمَا in what كَذَّبُوا۟ they (had) denied مِن from قَبْلُ ۚ before كَذَٰلِكَ Thus يَطْبَعُ (has been) put a seal ٱللَّهُ (by) Allah عَلَىٰ on قُلُوبِ (the) hearts ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ (of) the disbelievers ١٠١

وَمَا And not وَجَدْنَا We found لِأَكْثَرِهِم for most of them مِّنْ any عَهْدٍۢ ۖ covenant وَإِن But وَجَدْنَآ We found أَكْثَرَهُمْ most of them لَفَـٰسِقِينَ certainly, defiantly disobedient ١٠٢

ثُمَّ Then بَعَثْنَا We sent مِنۢ from بَعْدِهِم after them مُّوسَىٰ Musa بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَآ with Our Signs إِلَىٰ to فِرْعَوْنَ Firaun وَمَلَإِي۟هِۦ and his chiefs فَظَلَمُوا۟ But they were unjust بِهَا ۖ to them فَٱنظُرْ So see كَيْفَ how كَانَ was عَـٰقِبَةُ (the) end ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ (of) the corrupters ١٠٣

وَقَالَ And said مُوسَىٰ Musa يَـٰفِرْعَوْنُ O Firaun إِنِّى Indeed, I am رَسُولٌۭ a Messenger مِّن from رَّبِّ (the) Lord ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ (of) the worlds ١٠٤

حَقِيقٌ Obligated عَلَىٰٓ on أَن that لَّآ not أَقُولَ I say عَلَى about ٱللَّهِ Allah إِلَّا except ٱلْحَقَّ ۚ the truth قَدْ Verily جِئْتُكُم I (have) come to you بِبَيِّنَةٍۢ with a clear Sign مِّن from رَّبِّكُمْ your Lord فَأَرْسِلْ so send مَعِىَ with me بَنِىٓ (the) Children إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ (of) Israel ١٠٥

قَالَ He said إِن If كُنتَ you have جِئْتَ come بِـَٔايَةٍۢ with a Sign فَأْتِ then bring بِهَآ it إِن if كُنتَ you are مِنَ of ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ the truthful ١٠٦

فَأَلْقَىٰ So he threw عَصَاهُ his staff فَإِذَا and suddenly هِىَ it ثُعْبَانٌۭ (was) a serpent مُّبِينٌۭ manifest ١٠٧
