2
These are the Revelations of the Book clear in itself and clearly showing the truth.
3
It may be that you (O Messenger) will torment yourself to death because they refuse to believe.
4
If We will, We can send down a (compelling) sign on them from heaven, so that they are forced to bow their necks before it (in humility).
5
Whenever a new Revelation comes to them from the All-Merciful (to warn and enlighten them), they but turn away from it in aversion.
6
So they have obstinately denied (this Message). But soon they will come to understand what it was that they were mocking.
7
Have they not considered the earth, how many of every noble kind We have caused to grow therein in pairs?
8
Surely in this there is a sign, but most of them are not believers.
9
And surely your Lord is indeed the All-Glorious with irresistible might (able to punish whoever goes against His Glory), the All-Compassionate (especially towards His believing servants).
10
(Remember) when your Lord called Moses, saying: "Go to the wrongdoing people,
11
The people of the Pharaoh. Will they not give up their way in fear of Me and take the way of piety?
12
Moses replied: "My Lord! I fear that they will deny me,
13
And my breast will be constricted (so that I fail to show the necessary perseverance and tolerance), and my tongue will not be free (to convey Your Message with the right fluency), so appoint Aaron as a Messenger beside me.
14
They also have a charge of crime against me, so I fear that they will kill me (and not let me convey Your Message).
15
(God) said: "Not so, indeed! Go forth, then, the two of you, with Our miraculous signs (with which I have provided you). We will surely be with you all (you and them), listening attentively (to all that is to happen between you).
16
So go, both of you, to the Pharaoh and say: ‘We have come with a message from the Lord of the worlds (He Who has created and sustains everything):
17
‘Let the Children of Israel go with us!’ "
18
(When Moses delivered his message, the Pharaoh) said: "Did we not bring you up among us (in our palace) when you were a child? And you spent many years of your life among us!
19
Then you committed that heinous deed of yours which you did, (proving thereby that) you are indeed one of the ungrateful.
20
(Moses) said: "I committed that deed unintentionally when I did not know (it would end in the way it did.)
21
Then I fled from you when I feared (living together with) you (any longer), but (since then) my Lord has granted to me sound, wise judgment, and has made me one of His Messengers.
22
As for that favor you taunt me with: (it is owed to the fact) that you have enslaved the Children of Israel.
23
(The Pharaoh) said: "What (and who) is that, ‘the Lord of the worlds’?"
24
(Moses) answered: "The Lord (Creator, Sustainer, and sole Ruler) of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if you would but (let yourselves be) convinced!"
25
(The Pharaoh) said to those around him: "Do you not hear (what he is saying)?"
26
(Moses) continued: "Your Lord, and the Lord of your forefathers."
27
(The Pharaoh) exclaimed: "See! This Messenger of yours who has been sent to you is assuredly a madman."
28
(Moses) went on: "He is the Lord of the east and the west and all that is between them, if you would but reason and understand!"
29
(The Pharaoh) threatened: "If you, (O Moses,) take any deity other than me (to worship, to offer your prayer and sacrifices to, and to seek help from), I will most certainly make you one of those imprisoned."
30
(Moses) said: "Even if I have brought you something clear (which demonstrates that I am speaking the truth)?"
