Ta Sin Mim

A.J.Arberry 28:1

2

Those are the signs of the Manifest Book.

A.J.Arberry 28:2

3

We will recite to thee something of the tiding of Moses and Pharaoh truthfully, for a people who believe.

A.J.Arberry 28:3

4

Now Pharaoh had exalted himself in the land and had divided its inhabitants into sects, abasing one party of them, slaughtering their sons, and sparing their women; for he was of the workers of corruption.

A.J.Arberry 28:4

5

Yet We desired to be gracious to those that were abased in the land, and to make them leaders, and to make them the inheritors,

A.J.Arberry 28:5

6

and to establish them in the land, and to show Pharaoh and Ha man, and their hosts, what they were dreading from them.

A.J.Arberry 28:6

7

So We revealed to Moses' mother, 'Suckle him, then, when thou fearest for him, cast him into the sea, and do not fear, neither sorrow, for We shall return him to thee, and shall appoint him one of the Envoys.'

A.J.Arberry 28:7

8

So then the folk of Pharaoh picked him out to be an enemy and a sorrow to them; certainly Pharaoh and Haman, and their hosts, were of the sinners.

A.J.Arberry 28:8

9

Said Pharaoh's wife, 'He will be a comfort to me and thee. Slay him not; perchance he will profit us, or we will take him for a son.' And they were not aware.

A.J.Arberry 28:9

10

On the morrow the heart of Moses" mother became empty, and she wellnigh disclosed him had We not strengthened her heart, that she might be among the believers;

A.J.Arberry 28:10

11

and she said to his sister, 'Follow him,' and she perceived him from afar, even while they were not aware.

A.J.Arberry 28:11

12

Now We had forbidden to him aforetime to be suckled by any foster-mother; therefore she said, 'Shall I direct you to the people of a household who will take charge of him for you and look after him?'

A.J.Arberry 28:12

13

So We returned him to his mother, that she might be comforted and not sorrow, and that she might know that the promise of God is true; but most of them do not know.

A.J.Arberry 28:13

14

And when he was fully grown and in the perfection of his strength, We gave him judgment and knowledge; even so do We recompense the good-doers.

A.J.Arberry 28:14

15

And he entered the city, at a time when its people were unheeding, and found there two men fighting; the one was of his own party, and the other was of his enemies. Then the one that was of his party cried to him to aid him against the other that was of his enemies; so Moses struck him, and despatched him, and said, 'This is of Satan's doing; he is surely an enemy misleading, manifest.'

A.J.Arberry 28:15

16

He said, 'My Lord, I have wronged myself. Forgive me!' So God forgave him, for He is the All-forgiving, the All-compassionate.

A.J.Arberry 28:16

17

He said, 'My Lord, forasmuch as Thou hast blessed me, I will never be a partisan of the sinners.'

A.J.Arberry 28:17

18

Now in the morning he was in the city, fearful and vigilant; and behold, the man who had sought his, succour on the day before cried out to him again. Moses said to him, 'Clearly thou art, a quarreller.'

A.J.Arberry 28:18

19

But when he would have assaulted the man who was an enemy to them both, the man said, 'Moses, dost thou' desire to slay me, even as thou slewest a living 'soul yesterday? Thou only desirest to be a tyrant in the land; thou desirest not to be of them that put things right.'

A.J.Arberry 28:19

20

Then came a man from the furthest part of the city, running; he said, 'Moses, the Council are conspiring to slay thee. Depart; I am one of thy sincere advisers.'

A.J.Arberry 28:20

21

So he departed therefrom, fearful and vigilant; he said, 'My Lord, deliver me from the people of the evildoers.'

A.J.Arberry 28:21

22

And when he turned his face towards Midian he said, 'It may be that my Lord will guide me

A.J.Arberry 28:22

23

On the right way. And when he came to the waters of Midian he found a company of the people there drawing water, and he found, apart from them, two women holding back their flocks. He said, 'What is your business?' They said, 'We may not draw water until the shepherds drive off; and our father is passing old.'

A.J.Arberry 28:23

24

So he drew water for them; then he turned away to the shade, and he said, 'O my Lord, surely I have need of whatever good Thou shalt have sent down upon me.

A.J.Arberry 28:24

25

Then came one of the two women to him, walking modestly, and said, 'My father invites thee, that he may recompense thee with the wage of thy drawing water for us.' So when he came to him and had related to him the story, he said, 'Be not afraid; thou hast escaped from the people of the evildoers.'

A.J.Arberry 28:25

26

Said one of the two women, 'Father, hire him; surely the best man thou canst hire is the one strong and trusty.'

A.J.Arberry 28:26

27

He said, 'I desire to marry thee to one of these my two daughters, on condition that thou hirest thyself to me for eight years. If thou completest ten, that shall be of thy own accord; I do not desire to' press hard 'upon thee. Thou shalt assuredly find me, if God wills, one of the righteous.'

A.J.Arberry 28:27

28

Said he, 'So let it be between me and thee. Whichever of the two' terms I fulfil, it shall be no Injustice to me; and God is guardian of what we say.

A.J.Arberry 28:28

29

So when Moses had accomplished the term and departed with his household, he observed on the side of the Mount a fire. He said to his household, 'Tarry you here; I observe a fire. Perhaps I shall bring you news of it, or a faggot from the fire, that haply you shall warm yourselves.'

A.J.Arberry 28:29

30

When he came to it, a voice cried from the right of the watercourse, in the sacred hollow, coming from the tree: 'Moses, I am God, the Lord of all Being.'

A.J.Arberry 28:30
