47. So go ye unto him and say: Lo! we are two messengers of thy Lord. So let the children of Israel go with us, and torment them not. We bring thee a token from thy Lord. And peace will be for him who followeth right guidance.
48. Lo! it hath been revealed unto us that the doom will be for him who denieth and turneth away.
49. (Pharaoh) said: Who then is the Lord of you twain, O Moses ?
50. He said: Our Lord is He Who gave unto everything its nature, then guided it aright.
51. He said: What then is the state of the generations of old ?
52. He said: The knowledge thereof is with my Lord in a Record. My Lord neither erreth nor forgetteth,
53. Who hath appointed the earth as a bed and hath threaded roads for you therein and hath sent down water from the sky and thereby We have brought forth divers kinds of vegetation,
54. (Saying): Eat ye and feed your cattle. Lo! herein verily are portents for men of thought.
55. Thereof We created you, and thereunto We return you, and thence We bring you forth a second time.
56. And We verily did show him all Our tokens, but he denied them and refused.
57. He said: Hast come to drive us out from our land by thy magic, O Moses ?
58. But we surely can produce for thee magic the like thereof; so appoint a tryst between us and you, which neither we nor thou shall fail to keep, at a place convenient (to us both).
59. (Moses) said: Your tryst shall be the day of the feast, and let the people assemble when the sun hath risen high.
60. Then Pharaoh went and gathered his strength, then came (to the appointed tryst).
61. Moses said unto them: Woe unto you! Invent not a lie against Allah, lest He extirpate you by some punishment. He who lieth faileth miserably.
62. Then they debated one with another what they must do, and they kept their counsel secret.
63. They said: Lo! these are two wizards who would drive you out from your country by their magic, and destroy your best traditions;
64. So arrange your plan, and come in battle line. Whoso is uppermost this day will be indeed successful.
65. They said: O Moses! Either throw first, or let us be the first to throw ?
66. He said: Nay, do ye throw! Then lo! their cords and their staves, by their magic, appeared to him as though they ran.
67. And Moses conceived a fear in his mind.
68. We said: Fear not! Lo! thou art the higher.
69. Throw that which is in thy right hand! It will eat up that which they have made. Lo! that which they have made is but a wizard's artifice, and a wizard shall not be successful to whatever point (of skill) he may attain.
70. Then the wizards were (all) flung down prostrate, crying: We believe in the Lord of Aaron and Moses.
71. (Pharaoh) said: Ye put faith in him before I give you leave. Lo! he is your chief who taught you magic. Now surely I shall cut off your hands and your feet alternately, and I shall crucify you on the trunks of palm trees, and ye shall know for certain which of us hath sterner and more lasting punishment.
72. They said: We choose thee not above the clear proofs that have come unto us, and above Him Who created us. So decree what thou wilt decree. Thou wilt end for us only this life of the world.
73. Lo! we believe in our Lord, that He may forgive us our sins and the magic unto which thou didst force us. Allah is better and more lasting.
74. Lo! whoso cometh guilty unto his Lord, verily for him is hell. There he will neither die nor live.
75. But whoso cometh unto Him a believer, having done good works, for such are the high stations;
76. Gardens of Eden underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide for ever. That is the reward of him who groweth.
77. And verily We inspired Moses, saying: Take away My slaves by night and strike for them a dry path in the sea, fearing not to be overtaken, neither being afraid (of the sea).
78. Then Pharaoh followed them with his hosts and there covered them that which did cover them of the sea.
79. And Pharaoh led his folk astray, he did not guide them.
80. O Children of Israel! We delivered you from your enemy, and we made a covenant with you on the holy mountain's side, and sent down on you the manna and the quails,
81. (Saying): Eat of the good things wherewith We have provided you, and transgress not in respect thereof lest My wrath come upon you: and he on whom My wrath cometh, he is lost indeed.
82. And lo! verily I am Forgiving toward him who repenteth and believeth and doeth good, and afterward walketh aright.
83. And (it was said): What hath made thee hasten from thy folk, O Moses ?
84. He said: They are close upon my track. I hastened unto Thee, my Lord, that Thou mightest be well pleased.
85. He said: Lo! We have tried thy folk in thine absence, and As-Samiri hath misled them.
86. Then Moses went back unto his folk, angry and sad. He said: O my people! Hath not your Lord promised you a fair promise ? Did the time appointed then appear too long for you, or did ye wish that wrath from your Lord should come upon you, that ye broke tryst with me ?
87. They said: We broke not tryst with thee of our own will, but we were laden with burdens of ornaments of the folk, then cast them (in the fire), for thus As-Samiri proposed.
88. Then he produced for them a calf, of saffron hue, which gave forth a lowing sound. And they cried: This is your god and the god of Moses, but he hath forgotten.
89. See they not, then, that it returneth no saying unto them and possesseth for them neither hurt nor use ?
90. And Aaron indeed had told them beforehand: O my people! Ye are but being seduced therewith, for lo! your Lord is the Beneficent, so follow me and obey my order.
91. They said: We shall by no means cease to be its votaries till Moses return unto us.
92. He (Moses) said: O Aaron! What held thee back when thou didst see them gone astray,
93. That thou followedst me not ? Hast thou then disobeyed my order ?
94. He said: O son of my mother! Clutch not my beard nor my head! I feared lest thou shouldst say: Thou hast caused division among the Children of Israel, and hast not waited for my word.
95. (Moses) said: And what hast thou to say, O Samiri ?
96. He said: I perceived what they perceive not, so I seized a handful from the footsteps of the messenger, and then threw it in. Thus my soul commended to me.
97. (Moses) said: Then go! and lo! in this life it is for thee to say: Touch me not! and lo! there is for thee a tryst thou canst not break. Now look upon thy god of which thou hast remained a votary. Verily we will burn it and will scatter its dust over the sea.
98. Your God is only Allah, than Whom there is no other God. He embraceth all things in His knowledge.
