لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ السَّحَرَةَ اِنۡ كَانُوۡا هُمُ الۡغٰلِبِيۡنَ

That we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ السَّحَرَةُ قَالُوۡا لِفِرۡعَوۡنَ اَئِنَّ لَنَا لَاَجۡرًا اِنۡ كُنَّا نَحۡنُ الۡغٰلِبِيۡنَ

And when the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, "Is there indeed for us a reward if we are the predominant

قَالَ نَعَمۡ وَاِنَّكُمۡ اِذًا لَّمِنَ الۡمُقَرَّبِيۡنَ

He said, "Yes, and indeed, you will then be of those near [to me]

قَالَ لَهُمۡ مُّوۡسٰ٘ي اَلۡقُوۡا مَا٘ اَنۡتُمۡ مُّلۡقُوۡنَ

Moses said to them, "Throw whatever you will throw

فَاَلۡقَوۡا حِبَالَهُمۡ وَعِصِيَّهُمۡ وَقَالُوۡا بِعِزَّةِ فِرۡعَوۡنَ اِنَّا لَنَحۡنُ الۡغٰلِبُوۡنَ

So they threw their ropes and their staffs and said, "By the might of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are predominant

فَاَلۡقٰي مُوۡسٰي عَصَاهُ فَاِذَا هِيَ تَلۡقَفُ مَا يَاۡفِكُوۡنَۚۖ‏

Then Moses threw his staff, and at once it devoured what they falsified

فَاُلۡقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ سٰجِدِيۡنَۙ‏

So the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah]

قَالُوۡ٘ا اٰمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَۙ‏

They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds

رَبِّ مُوۡسٰي وَهٰرُوۡنَ

The Lord of Moses and Aaron

قَالَ اٰمَنۡتُمۡ لَهٗ قَبۡلَ اَنۡ اٰذَنَ لَكُمۡۚ اِنَّهٗ لَكَبِيۡرُكُمُ الَّذِيۡ عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحۡرَۚ فَلَسَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُوۡنَ ࣢ؕ لَاُقَطِّعَنَّ اَيۡدِيَكُمۡ وَاَرۡجُلَكُمۡ مِّنۡ خِلَافٍ وَّلَاُوصَلِّبَنَّكُمۡ اَجۡمَعِيۡنَۚ‏

[Pharaoh] said, "You believed Moses before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic, but you are going to know. I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you all

قَالُوۡا لَا ضَيۡرَؗ اِنَّا٘ اِلٰي رَبِّنَا مُنۡقَلِبُوۡنَۚ‏

They said, "No harm. Indeed, to our Lord we will return

اِنَّا نَطۡمَعُ اَنۡ يَّغۡفِرَ لَنَا رَبُّنَا خَطٰيٰنَا٘ اَنۡ كُنَّا٘ اَوَّلَ الۡمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَࣖؕ‏

Indeed, we aspire that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we were the first of the believers

وَاَوۡحَيۡنَا٘ اِلٰي مُوۡسٰ٘ي اَنۡ اَسۡرِ بِعِبَادِيۡ٘ اِنَّكُمۡ مُّتَّبَعُوۡنَ

And We inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants; indeed, you will be pursued

فَاَرۡسَلَ فِرۡعَوۡنُ فِي الۡمَدَآئِنِ حٰشِرِيۡنَۚ‏

Then Pharaoh sent among the cities gatherers

اِنَّ هٰ٘ؤُلَآءِ لَشِرۡذِمَةٌ قَلِيۡلُوۡنَۙ‏

[And said], "Indeed, those are but a small band

وَاِنَّهُمۡ لَنَا لَغَآئِظُوۡنَۙ‏

And indeed, they are enraging us

وَاِنَّا لَجَمِيۡعٌ حٰذِرُوۡنَؕ‏

And indeed, we are a cautious society

فَاَخۡرَجۡنٰهُمۡ مِّنۡ جَنّٰتٍ وَّعُيُوۡنٍۙ‏

So We removed them from gardens and springs

وَّكُنُوۡزٍ وَّمَقَامٍ كَرِيۡمٍۙ‏

And treasures and honorable station

كَذٰلِكَؕ وَاَوۡرَثۡنٰهَا بَنِيۡ٘ اِسۡرَآءِيۡلَؕ‏

Thus. And We caused to inherit it the Children of Israel

فَاَتۡبَعُوۡهُمۡ مُّشۡرِقِيۡنَ

So they pursued them at sunrise
