This Scripture is sent down from God, the Mighty, the Knowing,
3
Who forgives sins and accepts repentance. He is strict in punishment and rich in bounties. There is no god but Him, and to Him [is our] return!
4
Nobody argues about the Signs of God, except the disbelievers. Do not be deluded by their resourcefulness in the land!
5
[The Signs] have been rejected before them by the people of Noah and other confederates. Each people conspired to seize their Messenger and to dispute unfairly with him to taint the Truth. But I seized them — such was My punishment!
6
The Word of your Lord against the disbelievers came true — they are indeed the dwellers of the Fire!
7
Those who bear the Throne of their Lord, surround Him and glorify Him. They believe in Him and ask forgiveness for the believers: “O our Lord! You encompass everything with mercy and Knowledge. Forgive those who turn to You and follow Your way. Save them from the punishment by the blazing Fire!
8
O our Lord! Lead them into the Gardens of Eden that You promised to them and to the upright among their fathers, their spouses, and their offspring. You are the Almighty, the Wise.
9
Preserve them from evil deeds, and on that Day, bestow Your mercy upon those whom You have preserved from evil. This shall be a great success!”
10
Verily, the disbelievers shall be told: — God hates you more than you hate yourselves. Indeed, you rejected faith when you had been called to it.
11
They will say: “O our Lord! You have made us die twice, and twice You have revived us. Don’t we have a way out after we confessed our sins?”
12
— [No!] You rejected faith when you were called to One God, yet you believed when you joined partners to Him. You shall be judged by God, the Exalted, the Great.
13
He is the One, Who shows you His Signs and sends you sustenance from the sky. But only those who turn [to Him] remember it!
14
So call on God and devote yourselves entirely to Him, even if this is hateful for the disbelievers.
15
The most exalted in rank is the Owner of the Throne! He inspires by His Command to warn of the Meeting Day anyone of His servants He wills.
16
On that Day when they come forth before God, they shall not be able to conceal anything. Who will be the Sovereign on that Day? — God, the One, the Victorious.
17
On that Day every soul shall be rewarded for everything she had amassed. There shall be no injustice on that Day! Verily, God is quick at accounting!
18
Warn them that close by is the Day when their hearts shall be choked with grief and will rise to their throats. Then the sinners will have neither a friend nor an intercessor to rely upon.
19
[God] knows the treachery of the eyes and the secrets of the hearts.
20
God judges by the Truth, but those whom they invoke besides Him do not judge anything. Verily, God is the Hearing, the Seeing.
21
Do they not see when they travel about in the land what was the end of their predecessors? Yet, they were superior to them in power and in their traces on earth! God seized them for their sins, and nobody protected them from God.
22
God seized them for rejecting the Messengers who came to them with the Proofs. Verily, He is powerful and strict in punishment!
23
We sent Moses with Our Signs and a clear authority
24
to Pharaoh, Haman, and Korah. But they said: “He’s a magician and a liar!”
25
And when he brought the Truth from Us, they said: “Kill the sons of those who share his belief, but spare their women.” The plots of the disbelievers are the way to perdition!
26
Pharaoh said: “Let me kill Moses, and let him turn to his Lord. I’m afraid that he’ll change your religion or spread corruption in the land.”
27
Moses said: “I’m calling to my Lord — your Lord, against anyone who makes much of himself and disbelieves in the Reckoning Day.”
28
One of the believers from Pharaoh’s household who was concealing his faith said: “Would you really kill a man only because he says: ’My Lord is God!’ Yet he came to you with the Proofs of your Lord. If he’s lying, his lies will turn against him, but if he’s telling the truth, then you’ll suffer what he’s been warning you about. Verily, God will not guide an inveterate liar!
29
O my people! Today the power and the land are in your hands. But who would save us from God’s retribution if it fell upon us?” Pharaoh said: “I want to show you what I see myself, and I’m guiding you only on the way of righteousness.”
30
Then the believer said: “O my people! I fear for you [what happened] on the Day of the confederates,
