2:58

وَإِذْ And when قُلْنَا We said ٱدْخُلُوا۟ Enter هَـٰذِهِ this ٱلْقَرْيَةَ town فَكُلُوا۟ then eat مِنْهَا from حَيْثُ wherever شِئْتُمْ you wish[ed] رَغَدًۭا abundantly وَٱدْخُلُوا۟ and enter ٱلْبَابَ the gate سُجَّدًۭا prostrating وَقُولُوا۟ And say حِطَّةٌۭ Repentance نَّغْفِرْ We will forgive لَكُمْ for you خَطَـٰيَـٰكُمْ ۚ your sins وَسَنَزِيدُ And We will increase ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ the good-doers (in reward) ٥٨

And [recall] when We said, "Enter this city [i.e., Jerusalem] and eat from it wherever you will in [ease and] abundance, and enter the gate bowing humbly and say, 'Relieve us of our burdens [i.e., sins].' We will [then] forgive your sins for you, and We will increase the doers of good [in goodness and reward]."

2:59

فَبَدَّلَ But changed ٱلَّذِينَ those who ظَلَمُوا۟ wronged قَوْلًا (the) word غَيْرَ other (than) ٱلَّذِى (that) which قِيلَ was said لَهُمْ to them فَأَنزَلْنَا so We sent down عَلَى upon ٱلَّذِينَ those who ظَلَمُوا۟ wronged رِجْزًۭا a punishment مِّنَ from ٱلسَّمَآءِ the sky بِمَا because كَانُوا۟ they were يَفْسُقُونَ defiantly disobeying ٥٩

But those who wronged changed [those words] to a statement other than that which had been said to them, so We sent down upon those who wronged a punishment [i.e., plague] from the sky because they were defiantly disobeying.

2:60

۞ وَإِذِ And when ٱسْتَسْقَىٰ asked (for) water مُوسَىٰ Musa لِقَوْمِهِۦ for his people فَقُلْنَا [so] We said ٱضْرِب Strike بِّعَصَاكَ with your staff ٱلْحَجَرَ ۖ the stone فَٱنفَجَرَتْ Then gushed forth مِنْهُ from it ٱثْنَتَا (of) عَشْرَةَ twelve عَيْنًۭا ۖ springs قَدْ Indeed عَلِمَ knew كُلُّ all أُنَاسٍۢ (the) people مَّشْرَبَهُمْ ۖ their drinking place كُلُوا۟ Eat وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ and drink مِن from رِّزْقِ (the) provision (of) ٱللَّهِ Allah وَلَا and (do) not تَعْثَوْا۟ act wickedly فِى in ٱلْأَرْضِ the earth مُفْسِدِينَ spreading corruption ٦٠

And [recall] when Moses prayed for water for his people, so We said, "Strike with your staff the stone." And there gushed forth from it twelve springs, and every people [i.e., tribe] knew its watering place. "Eat and drink from the provision of Allāh, and do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption."

2:61

وَإِذْ And when قُلْتُمْ you said يَـٰمُوسَىٰ O Musa لَن Never (will) نَّصْبِرَ we endure عَلَىٰ [on] طَعَامٍۢ food وَٰحِدٍۢ (of) one (kind) فَٱدْعُ so pray لَنَا for us رَبَّكَ (to) your Lord يُخْرِجْ to bring forth لَنَا for us مِمَّا out of what تُنۢبِتُ grows ٱلْأَرْضُ the earth مِنۢ of بَقْلِهَا its herbs وَقِثَّآئِهَا [and] its cucumbers وَفُومِهَا [and] its garlic وَعَدَسِهَا [and] its lentils وَبَصَلِهَا ۖ and its onions قَالَ He said أَتَسْتَبْدِلُونَ Would you exchange ٱلَّذِى that which هُوَ [it] أَدْنَىٰ (is) inferior بِٱلَّذِى for that which هُوَ [it] خَيْرٌ ۚ (is) better ٱهْبِطُوا۟ Go down مِصْرًۭا (to) a city فَإِنَّ so indeed لَكُم for you مَّا (is) what سَأَلْتُمْ ۗ you have asked (for) وَضُرِبَتْ And were struck عَلَيْهِمُ on them ٱلذِّلَّةُ the humiliation وَٱلْمَسْكَنَةُ and the misery وَبَآءُو and they drew on themselves بِغَضَبٍۢ wrath مِّنَ of ٱللَّهِ ۗ Allah ذَٰلِكَ That (was) بِأَنَّهُمْ because they كَانُوا۟ used to يَكْفُرُونَ disbelieve بِـَٔايَـٰتِ in (the) Signs ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah وَيَقْتُلُونَ and kill ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ the Prophets بِغَيْرِ without (any) ٱلْحَقِّ ۗ [the] right ذَٰلِكَ That بِمَا (was) because عَصَوا۟ they disobeyed وَّكَانُوا۟ and they were يَعْتَدُونَ transgressing ٦١

And [recall] when you said, "O Moses, we can never endure one [kind of] food. So call upon your Lord to bring forth for us from the earth its green herbs and its cucumbers and its garlic and its lentils and its onions." [Moses] said, "Would you exchange what is better for what is less? Go into [any] settlement and indeed, you will have what you have asked." And they were covered with humiliation and poverty and returned with anger from Allāh [upon them]. That was because they [repeatedly] disbelieved in the signs of Allāh and killed the prophets without right. That was because they disobeyed and were [habitually] transgressing.
