| SH | From it We created you and into it We shall send you back and from it will We raise you a second time. |
| YU | From the (earth) did We create you, and into it shall We return you, and from it shall We bring you out once again. |
|
| 56. |
| AA | So We showed him all Our signs, but he denied them and refused, |
| NQ | And indeed We showed him [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] all Our Signs and Evidences, but he denied and refused. |
| PK | And We verily did show him all Our tokens, but he denied them and refused. |
| SH | And truly We showed him Our signs, all of them, but he rejected and refused. |
| YU | And We showed Pharaoh all Our Signs, but he did reject and refuse. |
|
| 57. |
| AA | And said: "Have you come to us, O Moses, to drive us out of our land with your witchery? |
| NQ | He [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "Have you come to drive us out of our land with your magic, O Mûsa (Moses)? |
| PK | He said: Hast come to drive us out from our land by thy magic, O Moses? |
| SH | Said he: Have you come to us that you should turn us out of our land by your magic, O Musa? |
| YU | He said: "Hast thou come to drive us out of our land with thy magic, O Moses? |
|
| 58. |
| AA | We shall certainly meet you with like magic. So make an appointment when we and you could meet on common ground, which neither we nor you should fail to keep." |
| NQ | "Then verily, we can produce magic the like thereof; so appoint a meeting between us and you, which neither we, nor you shall fail to keep, in an open wide place where both shall have a just and equal chance (and beholders could witness the competition)." |
| PK | 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). |
| SH | So we too will produce before you magic like it, therefore make between us and you an appointment, which we should not break, (neither) we nor you, (in) a central place. |
| YU | "But we can surely produce magic to match thine! So make a tryst between us and thee, which we shall not fail to keep - neither we nor thou - in a place where both shall have even chances." |
|
| 59. |
| AA | Said (Moses): "Let your meeting be on the day of the Feast, and let people assemble in broad daylight." |
| NQ | [Mûsa (Moses)] said: "Your appointed meeting is the day of the festival, and let the people assemble when the sun has risen (forenoon)." |
| PK | (Moses) said: Your tryst shall be the day of the feast, and let the people assemble when the sun hath risen high. |
| SH | (Musa) said: Your appointment is the day of the Festival and let the people be gathered together in the early forenoon. |
| YU | Moses said: "Your tryst is the Day of the Festival, and let the people be assembled when the sun is well up." |
|
| 60. |
| AA | After this the Pharaoh withdrew and settled his stratagem, then came back. |
| NQ | So Fir'aun (Pharaoh) withdrew, devised his plot and then came back. |
| PK | Then Pharaoh went and gathered his strength, then came (to the appointed tryst). |
| SH | So Firon turned his back and settled his plan, then came. |
| YU | So Pharaoh withdrew: He concerted his plan, and then came (back). |
|
| 61. |
| AA | Moses said to them: "Woe betide you. Do not fabricate a lie against God, or He will destroy you with some affliction. For he who fabricates lies is doomed to failure." |
| NQ | Mûsa (Moses) said to them: "Woe unto you! Invent not a lie against Allâh, lest He should destroy you completely by a torment. And surely, he who invents a lie (against Allâh) will fail miserably." |
| PK | 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. |
| SH | Musa said to them: Woe to you! do not forge a lie against Allah, lest He destroy you by a punishment, and he who forges (a lie) indeed fails to attain (his desire). |
| YU | 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. |
| AA | So they discussed their strategy among themselves and conferred privately, |
| NQ | Then they debated with one another what they must do, and they kept their talk secret. |
| PK | Then they debated one with another what they must do, and they kept their counsel secret. |
| SH | So they disputed with one another about their affair and kept the discourse secret. |
| YU | So they disputed, one with another, over their affair, but they kept their talk secret. |
|
| 63. |
| AA | (And) said: "These two are surely magicians. They want to deprive you of your land with their magic, and eradicate your distinct way (of life). |
| NQ | They said: "Verily! These are two magicians. Their object is to drive you out from your land with magic, and overcome your chiefs and nobles. |
| PK | They said: Lo! these are two wizards who would drive you out from your country by their magic, and destroy your best traditions; |
| SH | They said: These are most surely two magicians who wish to turn you out from your land by their magic and to take away your best traditions. |
| YU | 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. |
| AA | So prepare your strategy and come forward. He alone shall win today who is superior." |
| NQ | "So devise your plot, and then assemble in line. And whoever overcomes this day will be indeed successful." |
| PK | So arrange your plan, and come in battle line. Whoso is uppermost this day will be indeed successful. |
| SH | Therefore settle your plan, then come standing in ranks and he will prosper indeed this day who overcomes. |
| YU | "Therefore concert your plan, and then assemble in (serried) ranks: He wins (all along) today who gains the upper hand." |
|
| 65. |
| AA | They said: "Either you cast (your spell), O Moses, or we shall cast it first." |
| NQ | They said:"O Mûsa (Moses)! Either you throw first or we be the first to throw?" |
| PK | They said: O Moses! Either throw first, or let us be the first to throw? |
| SH | They said: O Musa! will you cast, or shall we be the first who cast down? |
| YU | They said: "O Moses! whether wilt thou that thou throw (first) or that we be the first to throw?" |
|
| 66. |
| AA | Moses said: "No. You cast it first" Then it seemed to Moses that by their magic their cords and rods were flying; |
| NQ | [Mûsa (Moses)] said: "Nay, throw you (first)!" Then behold, their ropes and their sticks, by their magic, appeared to him as though they moved fast. |
| PK | He said: Nay, do ye throw! Then lo! their cords and their staves, by their magic, appeared to him as though they ran. |
| SH | He said: Nay! cast down. then lo! their cords and their rods-- it was imaged to him on account of their magic as if they were running. |
| YU | 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. |
| AA | And Moses felt afraid within himself. |
| NQ | So Mûsa (Moses) conceived a fear in himself. |
| PK | And Moses conceived a fear in his mind. |
| SH | So Musa conceived in his mind a fear. |
| YU | So Moses conceived in his mind a (sort of) fear. |
|
| 68. |
| AA | We said to him: "Fear not. You will certainly be victorious. |
| NQ | We (Allâh) said: "Fear not! Surely, you will have the upper hand. |
| PK | We said: Fear not! Lo! thou art the higher. |
| SH | We said: Fear not, surely you shall be the uppermost, |
| YU | We said: "Fear not! for thou hast indeed the upper hand: |
|
| 69. |
| AA | Throw down what is in your right hand: It will swallow up what they have conjured. For what they have fashioned is only a trick of the sorcerer; and a sorcerer does not succeed wherever he may come." |
| NQ | "And throw that which is in your right hand! It will swallow up that which they have made. That which they have made is only a magician's trick, and the magician will never be successful, no matter whatever amount (of skill) he may attain." |
| PK | 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. |
| SH | And cast down what is in your right hand; it shall devour what they have wrought; they have wrought only the plan of a magician, and the magician shall not be successful wheresoever he may come from. |
| YU | "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. |
| AA | The magicians, (seeing the miracle), fell down in prostration, saying: "We believe in the Lord of Moses and Aaron." |
| NQ | So the magicians fell down prostrate. They said: "We believe in the Lord of Hârûn (Aaron) and Mûsa (Moses)." |
| PK | Then the wizards were (all) flung down prostrate, crying: We believe in the Lord of Aaron and Moses. |
| SH | And the magicians were cast down making obeisance; they said: We believe in the Lord of Haroun and Musa. |
| YU | So the magicians were thrown down to prostration: they said, "We believe in the Lord of Aaron and Moses". |
|
| 71. |
| AA | (The Pharaoh) said: "You have come to believe without my dispensation. Surely he is your chief who taught you magic. I will have your hands and feet cut off on alternate sides and crucify you on the trunks of date-palm trees. You will come to know whose punishment is harder and protracted." |
| NQ | [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "Believe you in him [Mûsa (Moses)] before I give you permission? Verily! He is your chief who taught you magic. So I will surely cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you on the trunks of date-palms, and you shall surely know which of us [I (Fir'aun Pharaoh) or the Lord of Mûsa (Moses) (Allâh)] can give the severe and more lasting torment." |
| PK | (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. |
| SH | (Firon) said: You believe in him before I give you leave; most surely he is the chief of you who taught you enchantment, therefore I will certainly cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will certainly crucify you on the trunks of the palm trees, and certainly you will come to know which of us is the more severe and the more abiding in chastising. |
| YU | (Pharaoh) said: "Believe ye in Him before I give you permission? Surely this must be your leader, who has taught you magic! be sure I will cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, and I will have you crucified on trunks of palm-trees: so shall ye know for certain, which of us can give the more severe and the more lasting punishment!" |
|
| 72. |
| AA | They replied: "We cannot choose you in the face of the clear testimony we have received, and over Him who created us. So do what you are determined to do. All that you would do will only be confined to our life on earth. |
| NQ | They said: "We prefer you not over the clear signs that have come to us, and to Him (Allâh) Who created us. So decree whatever you desire to decree, for you can only decree (regarding) this life of the world. |
| PK | 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. |
| SH | They said: We do not prefer you to what has come to us of clear arguments and to He Who made us, therefore decide what you are going to decide; you can only decide about this world's life. |
| YU | They said: "Never shall we regard thee as more than the Clear Signs that have come to us, or than Him Who created us! so decree whatever thou desirest to decree: for thou canst only decree (touching) the life of this world. |
|
| 73. |
| AA | We have certainly come to believe in our Lord that He may forgive our trespasses and the magic you have forced us to perform, for God is nobler and abiding." |
| NQ | "Verily! We have believed in our Lord, that He may forgive us our faults, and the magic to which you did compel us. And Allâh is better as regards reward in comparison to your [Fir'aun's (Pharaoh)] reward, and more lasting (as regards punishment in comparison to your punishment)." |
| PK | 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. |
| SH | Surely we believe in our Lord that He may forgive us our sins and the magic to which you compelled us; and Allah is better and more abiding. |
| YU | "For us, we have believed in our Lord: may He forgive us our faults, and the magic to which thou didst compel us: for Allah is Best and Most Abiding." |
|
| 74. |
| AA | Surely for him who comes before his Lord a sinner shall be Hell, where he will neither die nor live. |
| NQ | Verily! Whoever comes to his Lord as a Mujrim (criminal, polytheist, disbeliever in the Oneness of Allâh and His Messengers, sinner, etc.), then surely, for him is Hell, therein he will neither die nor live. |
| PK | Lo! whoso cometh guilty unto his Lord, verily for him is hell. There he will neither die nor live. |
| SH | Whoever comes to his Lord (being) guilty, for him is surely hell; he shall not die therein, nor shall he live. |
| YU | Verily he who comes to his Lord as a sinner (at Judgment),- for him is Hell: therein shall he neither die nor live. |
|
| 75. |
| AA | But whoever comes before Him a believer having done good deeds, will be raised to higher stations -- |
| NQ | But whoever comes to Him (Allâh) as a believer (in the Oneness of Allâh, etc.), and has done righteous good deeds, for such are the high ranks (in the Hereafter), |
| PK | But whoso cometh unto Him a believer, having done good works, for such are the high stations; |
| SH | And whoever comes to Him a believer (and) he has done good deeds indeed, these it is who shall have the high ranks, |
| YU | But such as come to Him as Believers who have worked righteous deeds,- for them are ranks exalted,- |
|
| 76. |
| AA | Gardens of Eden with rippling streams, where he will live for ever. This is the recompense of those who achieve integrity. |
| NQ | 'Adn (Edn) Paradise (everlasting Gardens), under which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever: such is the reward of those who purify themselves [(by abstaining from all kinds of sins and evil deeds) which Allâh has forbidden and by doing all that which Allâh has ordained)]. |
| PK | Gardens of Eden underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide for ever. That is the reward of him who groweth. |
| SH | The gardens of perpetuity, beneath which rivers flow, to abide therein; and this is the reward of him who has purified himself. |
| YU | Gardens of Eternity, beneath which flow rivers: they will dwell therein for aye: such is the reward of those who purify themselves (from evil). |
|
| 77. |
| AA | We commanded Moses: "Journey by night with Our creatures, and strike a dry path for them through the sea. Do not fear being overtaken, nor have dread of any thing." |
| NQ | And indeed We inspired Mûsa (Moses) (saying): "Travel by night with Ibâdi (My slaves) and strike a dry path for them in the sea, fearing neither to be overtaken [by Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] nor being afraid (of drowning in the sea)." |
| PK | 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). |
| SH | And certainly We revealed to Musa, saying: Travel by night with My servants, then make for them a dry path in the sea, not fearing to be overtaken, nor being afraid. |
| YU | We sent an inspiration to Moses: "Travel by night with My servants, and strike a dry path for them through the sea, without fear of being overtaken (by Pharaoh) and without (any other) fear." |
|
| 78. |
| AA | Then the Pharaoh followed them with his army, but the sea overpowered and engulfed them. |
| NQ | Then Fir'aun (Pharaoh) pursued them with his hosts, but the sea-water completely overwhelmed them and covered them up. |
| PK | Then Pharaoh followed them with his hosts and there covered them that which did cover them of the sea. |
| SH | And Firon followed them with his armies, so there came upon them of the sea that which came upon them. |
| YU | Then Pharaoh pursued them with his forces, but the waters completely overwhelmed them and covered them up. |
|
| 79. |
| AA | The Pharaoh had led his people astray, and did not rightly guide them. |
| NQ | And Fir'aun (Pharaoh) led his people astray, and he did not guide them. |
| PK | And Pharaoh led his folk astray, he did not guide them. |
| SH | And Firon led astray his people and he did not guide (them) aright. |
| YU | Pharaoh led his people astray instead of leading them aright. |
|
| 80. |
| AA | O children of Israel, We delivered you from your enemy, and made a covenant with you on the right side of the Mount, and sent down for you manna and quails, |
| NQ | O Children of Israel! We delivered you from your enemy, and We made a covenant with you on the right side of the Mount, and We sent down to you Al-Manna[] and quails, |
| PK | 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, |
| SH | O children of Israel! indeed We delivered you from your enemy, and We made a covenant with you on the blessed side of the mountain, and We sent to you the manna and the quails. |
| YU | O ye Children of Israel! We delivered you from your enemy, and We made a Covenant with you on the right side of Mount (Sinai), and We sent down to you Manna and quails: |
|
| 81. |
| AA | (And said): "Eat of the good things We have given you for food, and do not exceed the bounds (of law) in this, or My wrath will surely fall upon you; and he who incurs My wrath will fall into the abyss. |
| NQ | (Saying) eat of the Taiyibât (good lawful things) wherewith We have provided you, and commit no oppression therein, lest My Anger should justly descend on you. And he on whom My Anger descends, he is indeed perished. |
| PK | (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. |
| SH | Eat of the good things We have given you for sustenance, and be not inordinate with respect to them, lest My wrath should be due to you, and to whomsoever My wrath is due be shall perish indeed. |
| YU | (Saying): "Eat of the good things We have provided for your sustenance, but commit no excess therein, lest My Wrath should justly descend on you: and those on whom descends My Wrath do perish indeed! |
|
| 82. |
| AA | Yet I am gracious to him who repents and believes, and does the right, and follows the straight path. |
| NQ | And verily, I am indeed Forgiving to him who repents, believes (in My Oneness, and associates none in worship with Me) and does righteous good deeds, and then remains constant in doing them, (till his death). |
| PK | And lo! verily I am Forgiving toward him who repenteth and believeth and doeth good, and afterward walketh aright. |
| SH | And most surely I am most Forgiving to him who repents and believes and does good, then continues to follow the right direction. |
| YU | "But, without doubt, I am (also) He that forgives again and again, to those who repent, believe, and do right, who,- in fine, are ready to receive true guidance." |
|
| 83. |
| AA | What made you hurry away, O Moses, from your people?" |
| NQ | "And what made you hasten from your people, O Mûsa (Moses)?" |
| PK | And (it was said): What hath made thee hasten from thy folk, O Moses? |
| SH | And what caused you to hasten from your people, O Musa? |
| YU | (When Moses was up on the Mount, Allah said:) "What made thee hasten in advance of thy people, O Moses?" |
|
| 84. |
| AA | He said: "They are right behind me. I have hastened to You, O Lord, so that You may be pleased." |
| NQ | He said: "They are close on my footsteps, and I hastened to You, O my Lord, that You might be pleased." |
| PK | He said: They are close upon my track. I hastened unto Thee, my Lord, that Thou mightest be well pleased. |
| SH | He said: They are here on my track and I hastened on to Thee, my Lord, that Thou mightest be pleased. |
| YU | He replied: "Behold, they are close on my footsteps: I hastened to thee, O my Lord, to please thee." |
|
| 85. |
| AA | He said: "We have put your people on trial in your absence; and Sameri has led them astray." |
| NQ | (Allâh) said: "Verily! We have tried your people in your absence, and As-Samiri has led them astray." |
| PK | He said: Lo! We have tried thy folk in thine absence, and As-Samiri hath misled them. |
| SH | He said: So surely We have tried your people after you, and the Samiri has led them astray. |
| YU | (Allah) said: "We have tested thy people in thy absence: the Samiri has led them astray." |
|
| 86. |
| AA | So Moses returned to his people full of anger and regret. "O my people," he said, "did not your Lord make you a better promise? Did the time of covenant seem too long to you? Or did you wish the wrath of your Lord to fall upon you that you broke the promise you had made to me?" |
| NQ | Then Mûsa (Moses) returned to his people in a state of anger and sorrow. He said: "O my people! Did not your Lord promise you a fair promise? Did then the promise seem to you long in coming? Or did you desire that wrath should descend from your Lord on you, so you broke your promise to me (i.e disbelieving in Allâh and worshipping the calf)?" |
| PK | 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? |
| SH | So Musa returned to his people wrathful, sorrowing. Said he: O my people! did not your Lord promise you a goodly promise: did then the time seem long to you, or did you wish that displeasure from your Lord should be due to you, so that you broke (your) promise to me? |
| YU | So Moses returned to his people in a state of indignation and sorrow. He said: "O my people! did not your Lord make a handsome promise to you? Did then the promise seem to you long (in coming)? Or did ye desire that Wrath should descend from your Lord on you, and so ye broke your promise to me?" |
|
| 87. |
| AA | They said: "We did not break our promise to you of our own will, but we were made to carry the loads of ornaments belonging to the people, which we threw (into the fire), and so did Sameri. |
| NQ | They said: "We broke not the promise to you, of our own will, but we were made to carry the weight of the ornaments of the [Fir'aun's (Pharaoh)] people, then we cast them (into the fire), and that was what As-Samiri suggested." |
| PK | 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. |
| SH | They said: We did not break (our) promise to you of our own accord, but we were made to bear the burdens of the ornaments of the people, then we made a casting of them, and thus did the Samiri suggest. |
| YU | They said: "We broke not the promise to thee, as far as lay in our power: but we were made to carry the weight of the ornaments of the (whole) people, and we threw them (into the fire), and that was what the Samiri suggested. |
|
| 88. |
| AA | Then he produced the image of a calf which mooed like a cow. And they said: 'This is your god and the god of Moses (whom) he has neglected." |
| NQ | Then he took out (of the fire) for them a statue of a calf which seemed to low. They said: "This is your ilâh (god), and the ilâh (god) of Mûsa (Moses), but [Mûsa (Moses)] has forgotten (his god)'" |
| PK | 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. |
| SH | So he brought forth for them a calf, a (mere) body, which had a mooing sound, so they said: This is your god and the god of Musa, but he forgot. |
| YU | "Then he brought out (of the fire) before the (people) the image of a calf: It seemed to low: so they said: This is your god, and the god of Moses, but (Moses) has forgotten!" |
|
| 89. |
| AA | Did they not see that it did not give them any answer, nor had it power to do them harm or bring them gain? |
| NQ | Did they not see that it could not return them a word (for answer), and that it had no power either to harm them or to do them good? |
| PK | See they not, then, that it returneth no saying unto them and possesseth for them neither hurt nor use? |
| SH | What! could they not see that it did not return to them a reply, and (that) it did not control any harm or benefit for them? |
| YU | Could they not see that it could not return them a word (for answer), and that it had no power either to harm them or to do them good? |
|
| 90. |
| AA | Aaron had indeed told them earlier: "O my people, you are being only misled with this. Surely your Lord is Ar-Rahman. So follow me and obey my command." |
| NQ | And Hârûn (Aaron) indeed had said to them beforehand: "O my people! You are being tried in this, and verily, your Lord is (Allâh) the Most Beneficent, so follow me and obey my order." |
| PK | 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. |
| SH | And certainly Haroun had said to them before: O my people! you are only tried by it, and surely your Lord is the Beneficent Allah, therefore follow me and obey my order. |
| YU | Aaron had already, before this said to them: "O my people! ye are being tested in this: for verily your Lord is (Allah) Most Gracious; so follow me and obey my command." |
|
| 91. |
| AA | They said "So long as Moses does not come back we are not going to give it up, and we will remain devoted to it." |
| NQ | They said: "We will not stop worshipping it (i.e. the calf), until Mûsa (Moses) returns to us." |
| PK | They said: We shall by no means cease to be its votaries till Moses return unto us. |
| SH | They said: We will by no means cease to keep to its worship until Musa returns to us. |
| YU | They had said: "We will not abandon this cult, but we will devote ourselves to it until Moses returns to us." |
|
| 92. |
| AA | But (Moses) said: "O Aaron, when you saw that they had gone astray, what hindered you |
| NQ | [Mûsa (Moses)] said: "O Hârûn (Aaron)! What stopped you when you saw them going astray; |
| PK | He (Moses) said: O Aaron! What held thee back when thou didst see them gone astray, |
| SH | (Musa) said: O Haroun! what prevented you, when you saw them going astray, |
| YU | (Moses) said: "O Aaron! what kept thee back, when thou sawest them going wrong, |
|
| 93. |
| AA | From coming after me? Did you not disobey my command?" (And Moses pulled him by the hair). |
| NQ | "That you followed me not (according to my advice to you)? Have you then disobeyed my order?" |
| PK | That thou followedst me not? Hast thou then disobeyed my order? |
| SH | So that you did not follow me? Did you then disobey my order? |
| YU | "From following me? Didst thou then disobey my order?" |
|
| 94. |
| AA | "O son of my mother," (Aaron cried), do not pull me by my beard or my hair! I was really afraid you may say that I had created a rift among the children of Israel, and did not pay heed to your command." |
| NQ | He [Hârûn (Aaron)] said: "O son of my mother! Seize (me) not by my beard, nor by my head! Verily, I feared lest you should say: 'You have caused a division among the Children of Israel, and you have not respected my word!' " |
| PK | 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. |
| SH | He said: O son of my mother! seize me not by my beard nor by my head; surely I was afraid lest you should say: You have caused a division among the children of Israel and not waited for my word. |
| YU | (Aaron) replied: "O son of my mother! Seize (me) not by my beard nor by (the hair of) my head! Truly I feared lest thou shouldst say, 'Thou has caused a division among the children of Israel, and thou didst not respect my word!'" |
|
