وَإِذْ And when قَالَ said مُوسَىٰ Musa لِقَوْمِهِ to his people ٱذْكُرُوا۟ Remember نِعْمَةَ (the) Favor of Allah ٱللَّهِ (the) Favor of Allah عَلَيْكُمْ upon you إِذْ when أَنجَىٰكُم He saved you مِّنْ from ءَالِ (the) people فِرْعَوْنَ (of) Firaun يَسُومُونَكُمْ they were afflicting you سُوٓءَ (with) evil ٱلْعَذَابِ torment وَيُذَبِّحُونَ and were slaughtering 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 ٦

And [recall, O Children of Israel], when Moses said to his people, "Remember the favor of Allāh upon you when He saved you from the people of Pharaoh, who were afflicting you with the worst torment and were slaughtering your [newborn] sons and keeping your females alive. And in that was a great trial from your Lord.

وَإِذْ And when تَأَذَّنَ proclaimed رَبُّكُمْ your Lord لَئِن If شَكَرْتُمْ you are thankful لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ ۖ surely I will increase you وَلَئِن but if كَفَرْتُمْ you are ungrateful إِنَّ indeed عَذَابِى My punishment لَشَدِيدٌۭ (is) surely severe ٧

And [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, 'If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]; but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe.'"

وَقَالَ And said مُوسَىٰٓ Musa إِن If تَكْفُرُوٓا۟ you disbelieve أَنتُمْ you وَمَن and whoever فِى (is) in ٱلْأَرْضِ the earth جَمِيعًۭا all فَإِنَّ then indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah لَغَنِىٌّ certainly (is) Free of need حَمِيدٌ Praiseworthy ٨

And Moses said, "If you should disbelieve, you and whoever is on the earth entirely - indeed, Allāh is Free of need and Praiseworthy."

أَلَمْ Has not يَأْتِكُمْ come to you نَبَؤُا۟ (the) news ٱلَّذِينَ (of) those who مِن (were) before you قَبْلِكُمْ (were) before you قَوْمِ the people نُوحٍۢ of Nuh وَعَادٍۢ and Aad وَثَمُودَ ۛ and Thamud وَٱلَّذِينَ and those who مِنۢ (were) after them بَعْدِهِمْ ۛ (were) after them لَا None يَعْلَمُهُمْ knows them إِلَّا except ٱللَّهُ ۚ Allah جَآءَتْهُمْ Came to them رُسُلُهُم their Messengers بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ with clear proofs فَرَدُّوٓا۟ but they returned أَيْدِيَهُمْ their hands فِىٓ in أَفْوَٰهِهِمْ their mouths وَقَالُوٓا۟ and they said إِنَّا Indeed we كَفَرْنَا [we] disbelieve بِمَآ in what أُرْسِلْتُم you have been sent بِهِۦ with [it] وَإِنَّا and indeed, we لَفِى (are) surely in شَكٍّۢ doubt مِّمَّا about what تَدْعُونَنَآ you invite us إِلَيْهِ to it مُرِيبٍۢ suspicious ٩

Has there not reached you the news of those before you - the people of Noah and ʿAad and Thamūd and those after them? No one knows them [i.e., their number] but Allāh. Their messengers brought them clear proofs, but they returned their hands to their mouths and said, "Indeed, we disbelieve in that with which you have been sent, and indeed we are, about that to which you invite us, in disquieting doubt."

۞ قَالَتْ Said رُسُلُهُمْ their Messengers أَفِى Can (there) be about ٱللَّهِ Allah شَكٌّۭ any doubt فَاطِرِ (the) Creator ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ (of) the heavens وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ and the earth يَدْعُوكُمْ He invites you لِيَغْفِرَ so that He may forgive لَكُم for you مِّن [of] ذُنُوبِكُمْ your sins وَيُؤَخِّرَكُمْ and give you respite إِلَىٰٓ for أَجَلٍۢ a term مُّسَمًّۭى ۚ appointed قَالُوٓا۟ They said إِنْ Not أَنتُمْ you إِلَّا (are) but بَشَرٌۭ a human مِّثْلُنَا like us تُرِيدُونَ you wish أَن to تَصُدُّونَا hinder us عَمَّا from what كَانَ used to يَعْبُدُ worship ءَابَآؤُنَا our forefathers فَأْتُونَا So bring us بِسُلْطَـٰنٍۢ an authority مُّبِينٍۢ clear ١٠

Their messengers said, "Can there be doubt about Allāh, Creator of the heavens and earth? He invites you that He may forgive you of your sins, and He delays you [i.e., your death] for a specified term." They said, "You are not but men like us who wish to avert us from what our fathers were worshipping. So bring us a clear authority [i.e., evidence]."
