61 قَالَ لَهُم
مُّوسَى وَيْلَكُمْ لَا تَفْتَرُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِباً فَيُسْحِتَكُمْ بِعَذَابٍ
وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنِ افْتَرَى Moses said to him: Woe to you! Forge not ye a lie against Allah, lest He destroy you (at once) utterly by chastisement: the forger must suffer frustration!" |
62 فَتَنَازَعُوا أَمْرَهُم بَيْنَهُمْ وَأَسَرُّوا
النَّجْوَى So they disputed, one with another, over their affair, but they kept their talk secret. |
63 قَالُوا إِنْ هَذَانِ لَسَاحِرَانِ يُرِيدَانِ أَن يُخْرِجَاكُم
مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِمَا وَيَذْهَبَا بِطَرِيقَتِكُمُ الْمُثْلَى They said: "These two are certainly (expert) magicians: their object is to drive you out from your land with their magic, and to do away with your most cherished institutions. |
64 فَأَجْمِعُوا
كَيْدَكُمْ ثُمَّ ائْتُوا صَفّاً وَقَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْيَوْمَ مَنِ اسْتَعْلَى "Therefore concert your plan, and then assemble in (serried) ranks: He wins (all along) today who gains the upper hand." |
65 قَالُوا يَا مُوسَى إِمَّا أَن تُلْقِيَ وَإِمَّا أَن نَّكُونَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ أَلْقَى They said: "O Moses! whether wilt thou that thou throw (first) or that we be the first to throw?" |
66 قَالَ
بَلْ أَلْقُوا فَإِذَا حِبَالُهُمْ وَعِصِيُّهُمْ يُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ مِن سِحْرِهِمْ أَنَّهَا تَسْعَى
He said, "Nay, throw ye first!" Then behold their ropes and their rods-so it seemed to him on account of their magic - began to be in lively motion! |
67 فَأَوْجَسَ فِي نَفْسِهِ خِيفَةً مُّوسَى So Moses conceived in his mind a (sort of) fear. |
68 قُلْنَا لَا تَخَفْ إِنَّكَ
أَنتَ الْأَعْلَى We said: "Fear not! for thou hast indeed the upper hand: |
69 وَأَلْقِ مَا فِي يَمِينِكَ تَلْقَفْ مَا صَنَعُوا إِنَّمَا صَنَعُوا
كَيْدُ سَاحِرٍ وَلَا يُفْلِحُ السَّاحِرُ حَيْثُ أَتَى "Throw that which is in thy right hand: Quickly will it swallow up that which they have faked what they have faked is but a magician's trick: and the magician thrives not, (no matter) where he goes." |
70 فَأُلْقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ سُجَّداً
قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ هَارُونَ وَمُوسَى So the magicians were thrown down to prostration: they said, "We believe in the Lord of Aaron and Moses". |
