وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ الَّتِي فَعَلْتَ وَأَنْتَ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ
19. And [then] you did your deed which you did, and you were of the ungrateful."
قَالَ فَعَلْتُهَا إِذًا وَأَنَا مِنَ الضَّالِّينَ
20. [Moses] said, "I did it, then, while I was of those astray.
فَفَرَرْتُ مِنْكُمْ لَمَّا خِفْتُكُمْ فَوَهَبَ لِي رَبِّي حُكْمًا وَجَعَلَنِي مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
21. So I fled from you when I feared you. Then my Lord granted me wisdom and prophethood and appointed me [as one] of the messengers.
وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَيَّ أَنْ عَبَّدْتَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ
22. And is this a favor of which you remind me - that you have enslaved the Children of Israel?"
قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ
23. Said Pharaoh, "And what is the Lord of the worlds?"
قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُ أَلَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ
25. [Pharaoh] said to those around him, "Do you not hear?"
قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهِ إِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ
31. [Pharaoh] said, "Then bring it, if you should be of the truthful."
قَالُوا أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَابْعَثْ فِي الْمَدَائِنِ حَاشِرِينَ
36. They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers
يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍ
37. Who will bring you every learned, skilled magician."
فَجُمِعَ السَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَاتِ يَوْمٍ مَعْلُومٍ
38. So the magicians were assembled for the appointment of a well-known day.
