وَلَمَّا And when تَوَجَّهَ he turned his face تِلْقَآءَ towards مَدْيَنَ Madyan قَالَ he said عَسَىٰ Perhaps رَبِّىٓ my Lord أَن [that] يَهْدِيَنِى will guide me سَوَآءَ (to the) sound ٱلسَّبِيلِ way ٢٢

وَلَمَّا And when وَرَدَ he came مَآءَ (to the) water مَدْيَنَ (of) Madyan وَجَدَ he found عَلَيْهِ on it أُمَّةًۭ a group مِّنَ of ٱلنَّاسِ men يَسْقُونَ watering وَوَجَدَ and he found مِن besides them دُونِهِمُ besides them ٱمْرَأَتَيْنِ two women تَذُودَانِ ۖ keeping back قَالَ He said مَا What خَطْبُكُمَا ۖ (is the) matter with both of you قَالَتَا They said لَا We cannot water نَسْقِى We cannot water حَتَّىٰ until يُصْدِرَ take away ٱلرِّعَآءُ ۖ the shepherds وَأَبُونَا and our father شَيْخٌۭ (is) a very old man كَبِيرٌۭ (is) a very old man ٢٣
And when he came to the water [i.e., well] of Madyan, he found there a crowd of people watering [their flocks], and he found aside from them two women holding back [their flocks]. He said, "What is your circumstance?" They said, "We do not water until the shepherds dispatch [their flocks]; and our father is an old man."

فَسَقَىٰ So he watered لَهُمَا for them ثُمَّ Then تَوَلَّىٰٓ he turned back إِلَى to ٱلظِّلِّ the shade فَقَالَ and said رَبِّ My Lord إِنِّى Indeed, I am لِمَآ of whatever أَنزَلْتَ You send إِلَىَّ to me مِنْ of خَيْرٍۢ good فَقِيرٌۭ (in) need ٢٤
So he watered [their flocks] for them; then he went back to the shade and said, "My Lord, indeed I am, for whatever good You would send down to me, in need."

فَجَآءَتْهُ Then came to him إِحْدَىٰهُمَا one of the two women تَمْشِى walking عَلَى with ٱسْتِحْيَآءٍۢ shyness قَالَتْ She said إِنَّ Indeed أَبِى my father يَدْعُوكَ calls you لِيَجْزِيَكَ that he may reward you أَجْرَ (the) reward مَا (for) what سَقَيْتَ you watered لَنَا ۚ for us فَلَمَّا So when جَآءَهُۥ he came to him وَقَصَّ and narrated عَلَيْهِ to him ٱلْقَصَصَ the story قَالَ he said لَا (Do) not تَخَفْ ۖ fear نَجَوْتَ You have escaped مِنَ from ٱلْقَوْمِ the people ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ the wrongdoers ٢٥
Then one of the two women came to him walking with shyness. She said, "Indeed, my father invites you that he may reward you for having watered for us." So when he came to him and related to him the story, he said, "Fear not. You have escaped from the wrongdoing people."

قَالَتْ Said إِحْدَىٰهُمَا one of them يَـٰٓأَبَتِ O my father ٱسْتَـْٔجِرْهُ ۖ Hire him إِنَّ Indeed خَيْرَ (the) best مَنِ whom ٱسْتَـْٔجَرْتَ you (can) hire ٱلْقَوِىُّ (is) the strong ٱلْأَمِينُ the trustworthy ٢٦
One of the women said, "O my father, hire him. Indeed, the best one you can hire is the strong and the trustworthy."

قَالَ He said إِنِّىٓ Indeed, I أُرِيدُ [I] wish أَنْ to أُنكِحَكَ marry you to إِحْدَى one ٱبْنَتَىَّ (of) my daughters هَـٰتَيْنِ (of) these two عَلَىٰٓ on أَن that تَأْجُرَنِى you serve me ثَمَـٰنِىَ (for) eight حِجَجٍۢ ۖ years فَإِنْ but if أَتْمَمْتَ you complete عَشْرًۭا ten فَمِنْ then from عِندِكَ ۖ you وَمَآ And not أُرِيدُ I wish أَنْ to أَشُقَّ make it difficult عَلَيْكَ ۚ for you سَتَجِدُنِىٓ You will find me إِن if شَآءَ Allah wills ٱللَّهُ Allah wills مِنَ of ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ the righteous ٢٧
He said, "Indeed, I wish to wed you one of these, my two daughters, on [the condition] that you serve me for eight years; but if you complete ten, it will be [as a favor] from you. And I do not wish to put you in difficulty. You will find me, if Allāh wills, from among the righteous."

قَالَ He said ذَٰلِكَ That بَيْنِى (is) between me وَبَيْنَكَ ۖ and between you أَيَّمَا Whichever ٱلْأَجَلَيْنِ (of) the two terms قَضَيْتُ I complete فَلَا then no عُدْوَٰنَ injustice عَلَىَّ ۖ to me وَٱللَّهُ and Allah عَلَىٰ over مَا what نَقُولُ we say وَكِيلٌۭ (is) a Witness ٢٨
[Moses] said, "That is [established] between me and you. Whichever of the two terms I complete - there is no injustice to me, and Allāh, over what we say, is Witness."
