يَـٰٓأَهْلَ O People ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ (of) the Book قَدْ Surely جَآءَكُمْ has come to you رَسُولُنَا Our Messenger يُبَيِّنُ he makes clear لَكُمْ to you عَلَىٰ [on] فَتْرَةٍۢ (after) an interval (of cessation) مِّنَ of ٱلرُّسُلِ the Messengers أَن lest تَقُولُوا۟ you say مَا Not جَآءَنَا (has) come to us مِنۢ any بَشِيرٍۢ bearer of glad tidings وَلَا and not نَذِيرٍۢ ۖ a warner فَقَدْ But surely جَآءَكُم has come to you بَشِيرٌۭ a bearer of glad tidings وَنَذِيرٌۭ ۗ and a warner وَٱللَّهُ And Allah عَلَىٰ (is) on كُلِّ every شَىْءٍۢ thing قَدِيرٌۭ All-Powerful ١٩

وَإِذْ And when قَالَ said مُوسَىٰ Musa لِقَوْمِهِۦ to his people يَـٰقَوْمِ O my people ٱذْكُرُوا۟ remember نِعْمَةَ (the) Favor ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah عَلَيْكُمْ upon you إِذْ when جَعَلَ He placed فِيكُمْ among you أَنۢبِيَآءَ Prophets وَجَعَلَكُم and made you مُّلُوكًۭا kings وَءَاتَىٰكُم and He gave you مَّا what لَمْ not يُؤْتِ He (had) given أَحَدًۭا (to) anyone مِّنَ from ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ the worlds ٢٠

يَـٰقَوْمِ O my people ٱدْخُلُوا۟ Enter ٱلْأَرْضَ the land ٱلْمُقَدَّسَةَ the Holy ٱلَّتِى which كَتَبَ (has been) ordained ٱللَّهُ (by) Allah لَكُمْ for you وَلَا and (do) not تَرْتَدُّوا۟ turn عَلَىٰٓ on أَدْبَارِكُمْ your backs فَتَنقَلِبُوا۟ then you will turn back خَـٰسِرِينَ (as) losers ٢١
