وَجَـٰوَزْنَا And We led across بِبَنِىٓ (the) Children إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ (of) Israel ٱلْبَحْرَ the sea فَأَتَوْا۟ Then they came عَلَىٰ upon قَوْمٍۢ a people يَعْكُفُونَ devoted عَلَىٰٓ to أَصْنَامٍۢ idols لَّهُمْ ۚ of theirs قَالُوا۟ They said يَـٰمُوسَى O Musa ٱجْعَل Make لَّنَآ for us إِلَـٰهًۭا a god كَمَا like what لَهُمْ they have ءَالِهَةٌۭ ۚ gods قَالَ He said إِنَّكُمْ Indeed, you قَوْمٌۭ (are) a people تَجْهَلُونَ ignorant ١٣٨

إِنَّ Indeed هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ these مُتَبَّرٌۭ destroyed مَّا (is) what هُمْ they فِيهِ (are) in it وَبَـٰطِلٌۭ and vain مَّا (is) what كَانُوا۟ they used to يَعْمَلُونَ do ١٣٩

قَالَ He said أَغَيْرَ Should other than ٱللَّهِ Allah أَبْغِيكُمْ I seek for you إِلَـٰهًۭا a god وَهُوَ while He فَضَّلَكُمْ has preferred you عَلَى over ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ the worlds ١٤٠

وَإِذْ And when أَنجَيْنَـٰكُم We saved you مِّنْ from ءَالِ (the) people فِرْعَوْنَ (of) Firaun يَسُومُونَكُمْ who were afflicting you سُوٓءَ (with) worst ٱلْعَذَابِ ۖ (of) torment يُقَتِّلُونَ they were killing أَبْنَآءَكُمْ your sons وَيَسْتَحْيُونَ and letting live نِسَآءَكُمْ ۚ your women وَفِى And in ذَٰلِكُم that بَلَآءٌۭ (was) a trial مِّن from رَّبِّكُمْ your Lord عَظِيمٌۭ great ١٤١

۞ وَوَٰعَدْنَا And We appointed مُوسَىٰ (for) Musa ثَلَـٰثِينَ thirty لَيْلَةًۭ nights وَأَتْمَمْنَـٰهَا and We completed them بِعَشْرٍۢ with ten (more) فَتَمَّ so was completed مِيقَـٰتُ (the) set term رَبِّهِۦٓ (of) his Lord أَرْبَعِينَ (of) forty لَيْلَةًۭ ۚ night(s) وَقَالَ And said مُوسَىٰ Musa لِأَخِيهِ to his brother هَـٰرُونَ Harun ٱخْلُفْنِى Take my place فِى in قَوْمِى my people وَأَصْلِحْ and do right وَلَا and (do) not تَتَّبِعْ follow سَبِيلَ (the) way ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ (of) the corrupters ١٤٢

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
