وَّاَنۡ لَّا تَعۡلُوۡا عَلَي اللّٰهِؕ اِنِّيۡ٘ اٰتِيۡكُمۡ بِسُلۡطٰنٍ مُّبِيۡنٍۚ‏

And [saying], "Be not haughty with Allah. Indeed, I have come to you with clear authority

وَاِنِّيۡ عُذۡتُ بِرَبِّيۡ وَرَبِّكُمۡ اَنۡ تَرۡجُمُوۡنِۚ‏

And indeed, I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me

وَاِنۡ لَّمۡ تُؤۡمِنُوۡا لِيۡ فَاعۡتَزِلُوۡنِ

But if you do not believe me, then leave me alone

فَدَعَا رَبَّهٗ٘ اَنَّ هٰ٘ؤُلَآءِ قَوۡمٌ مُّجۡرِمُوۡنَ

And [finally] he called to his Lord that these were a criminal people

فَاَسۡرِ بِعِبَادِيۡ لَيۡلًا اِنَّكُمۡ مُّتَّبَعُوۡنَۙ‏

[Allah said], "Then set out with My servants by night. Indeed, you are to be pursued

وَاتۡرُكِ الۡبَحۡرَ رَهۡوًاؕ اِنَّهُمۡ جُنۡدٌ مُّغۡرَقُوۡنَ

And leave the sea in stillness. Indeed, they are an army to be drowned

كَمۡ تَرَكُوۡا مِنۡ جَنّٰتٍ وَّعُيُوۡنٍۙ‏

How much they left behind of gardens and springs

وَّزُرُوۡعٍ وَّمَقَامٍ كَرِيۡمٍۙ‏

And crops and noble sites

وَّنَعۡمَةٍ كَانُوۡا فِيۡهَا فٰكِهِيۡنَۙ‏

And comfort wherein they were amused

كَذٰلِكَࣞ وَاَوۡرَثۡنٰهَا قَوۡمًا اٰخَرِيۡنَ

Thus. And We caused to inherit it another people

فَمَا بَكَتۡ عَلَيۡهِمُ السَّمَآءُ وَالۡاَرۡضُ وَمَا كَانُوۡا مُنۡظَرِيۡنَࣖ‏

And the heaven and earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved

وَلَقَدۡ نَجَّيۡنَا بَنِيۡ٘ اِسۡرَآءِيۡلَ مِنَ الۡعَذَابِ الۡمُهِيۡنِۙ‏

And We certainly saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment

مِنۡ فِرۡعَوۡنَؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ عَالِيًا مِّنَ الۡمُسۡرِفِيۡنَ

From Pharaoh. Indeed, he was a haughty one among the transgressors

وَلَقَدِ اخۡتَرۡنٰهُمۡ عَلٰي عِلۡمٍ عَلَي الۡعٰلَمِيۡنَۚ‏

And We certainly chose them by knowledge over [all] the worlds

وَاٰتَيۡنٰهُمۡ مِّنَ الۡاٰيٰتِ مَا فِيۡهِ بَلٰٓؤٌا مُّبِيۡنٌ

And We gave them of signs that in which there was a clear trial

اِنَّ هٰ٘ؤُلَآءِ لَيَقُوۡلُوۡنَۙ‏

Indeed, these [disbelievers] are saying

اِنۡ هِيَ اِلَّا مَوۡتَتُنَا الۡاُوۡلٰي وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِمُنۡشَرِيۡنَ

There is not but our first death, and we will not be resurrected

فَاۡتُوۡا بِاٰبَآئِنَا٘ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ صٰدِقِيۡنَ

Then bring [back] our forefathers, if you should be truthful

اَهُمۡ خَيۡرٌ اَمۡ قَوۡمُ تُبَّعٍۙ وَّالَّذِيۡنَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِهِمۡؕ اَهۡلَكۡنٰهُمۡؗ اِنَّهُمۡ كَانُوۡا مُجۡرِمِيۡنَ

Are they better or the people of Tubba' and those before them? We destroyed them, [for] indeed, they were criminals

وَمَا خَلَقۡنَا السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضَ وَمَا بَيۡنَهُمَا لٰعِبِيۡنَ

And We did not create the heavens and earth and that between them in play

مَا خَلَقۡنٰهُمَا٘ اِلَّا بِالۡحَقِّ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكۡثَرَهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ

We did not create them except in truth, but most of them do not know
