26:22 وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَىَّ أَنْ عَبَّدتَّ...
26:22 وَتِلْكَ نِعْمَةٌ تَمُنُّهَا عَلَىَّ أَنْ عَبَّدتَّ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
●And is this a favor of which you remind me - that you have enslaved the Children of Israel?"
26:23 قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ وَمَا رَبُّ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
●Said Pharaoh, "And what is the Lord of the worlds?"
26:24 قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ
●[Moses] said, "The Lord of the heavens and earth and that between them, if you should be convinced."
26:25 قَالَ لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُۥٓ أَلَا تَسْتَمِعُونَ
●[Pharaoh] said to those around him, "Do you not hear?"
26:26 قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
●[Moses] said, "Your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers."
26:27 قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَكُمُ ٱلَّذِىٓ أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ لَمَجْنُونٌ
●[Pharaoh] said, 1 "Indeed, your 'messenger' who has been sent to you is mad."
26:28 قَالَ رَبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ
●[Moses] said, "Lord of the east and the west and that between them, if you were to reason."
26:29 قَالَ لَئِنِ ٱتَّخَذْتَ إِلَـٰهًا غَيْرِى لَأَجْعَلَنَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْمَسْجُونِينَ
●[Pharaoh] said, "If you take a god other than me, I will surely place you among those imprisoned."
26:30 قَالَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَىْءٍ مُّبِينٍ
●[Moses] said, "Even if I brought you something [i.e., proof] manifest?"
26:31 قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهِۦٓ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ
●[Pharaoh] said, "Then bring it, if you should be of the truthful."
26:32 فَأَلْقَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِىَ ثُعْبَانٌ مُّبِينٌ
●So [Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent manifest. 1
26:33 وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُۥ فَإِذَا هِىَ بَيْضَآءُ لِلنَّـٰظِرِينَ
— And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white for the observers. 26:34 قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُۥٓ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَسَـٰحِرٌ عَلِيمٌ
— [Pharaoh] said to the eminent ones around him, "Indeed, this is a learned magician. 26:35 يُرِيدُ أَن يُخْرِجَكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِۦ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ
●He wants to drive you out of your land by his magic, so what do you advise?"
26:36 قَالُوٓا۟ أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَٱبْعَثْ فِى ٱلْمَدَآئِنِ حَـٰشِرِينَ
●They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers
26:37 يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍ
●Who will bring you every learned, skilled magician."
26:38 فَجُمِعَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَـٰتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ
●So the magicians were assembled for the appointment of a well-known day.
