026.035
YUSUFALI: "His plan is to get you out of your land by his sorcery; then what is it ye counsel?"
PICKTHAL: Who would drive you out of your land by his magic. Now what counsel ye?

026.039

SHAKIR: And it was said to the people: Will you gather together?
026.040
YUSUFALI: "That we may follow the sorcerers (in religion) if they win?"
PICKTHAL: (They said): Aye, so that we may follow the wizards if they are the winners.
SHAKIR: Haply we may follow the magicians, if they are the vanquishers.
026.041
YUSUFALI: So when the sorcerers arrived, they said to Pharaoh: "Of course - shall we have a (suitable) reward if we win?
PICKTHAL: And when the wizards came they said unto Pharaoh: Will there surely be a reward for us if we are the winners?
SHAKIR: And when the magicians came, they said to Firon: Shall we get a reward if we are the vanquishers?
026.042
YUSUFALI: He said: "Yea, (and more),- for ye shall in that case be (raised to posts) nearest (to my person)."
PICKTHAL: He said: Aye, and ye will then surely be of those brought near (to me).
SHAKIR: He said: Yes, and surely you will then be of those who are made near.
026.043
YUSUFALI: Moses said to them: "Throw ye - that which ye are about to throw!"

026.044
YUSUFALI: So they threw their ropes and their rods, and said: "By the might of Pharaoh, it is we who will certainly win!"
PICKTHAL: Then they threw down their cords and their staves and said: By Pharaoh's might, lo! we verily are the winners.
SHAKIR: So they cast down their cords and their rods and said: By Firon's power, we shall most surely be victorious.
026.045
YUSUFALI: Then Moses threw his rod, when, behold, it straightway swallows up all the falsehoods which they fake!
PICKTHAL: Then Moses threw his staff and lo! it swallowed that which they did falsely show.
SHAKIR: Then Musa cast down his staff and lo! it swallowed up the lies they told.
026.046

PICKTHAL: And the wizards were flung prostrate,
SHAKIR: And the magicians were thrown down prostrate;
026.047
YUSUFALI: Saying: "We believe in the Lord of the Worlds,
PICKTHAL: Crying: We believe in the Lord of the Worlds,

026.048
YUSUFALI: "The Lord of Moses and Aaron."
PICKTHAL: The Lord of Moses and Aaron.
SHAKIR: The Lord of Musa and Haroun.
026.049
YUSUFALI: Said (Pharaoh): "Believe ye in Him before I give you permission? surely he is your leader, who has taught you sorcery! but soon shall ye know!
PICKTHAL: (Pharaoh) said: Ye put your faith in him before I give you leave. Lo! he doubtless is your chief who taught you magic! But verily ye shall come to know. Verily I will cut off your hands and your feet alternately, and verily I will crucify you every one.
SHAKIR: Said he: You believe in him before I give you permission; most surely he is the chief of you who taught you the magic, so you shall know: certainly I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and certainly I will crucify you all.
026.050
YUSUFALI: "Be sure I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will cause you all to die on the cross!"
PICKTHAL: They said: It is no hurt, for lo! unto our Lord we shall return.
SHAKIR: They said: No harm; surely to our Lord we go back;
026.051
YUSUFALI: They said: "No matter! for us, we shall but return to our Lord!
PICKTHAL: Lo! we ardently hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we are the first of the believers.
SHAKIR: Surely we hope that our Lord will forgive us our wrongs because we are the first of the believers.
026.052
YUSUFALI: "Only, our desire is that our Lord will forgive us our faults, that we may become foremost among the believers!"
PICKTHAL: And We inspired Moses, saying: Take away My slaves by night, for ye will be pursued.
SHAKIR: And We revealed to Musa, saying: Go away with My servants travelling by night, surely you will be pursued.
026.053
YUSUFALI: By inspiration we told Moses: "Travel by night with my servants; for surely ye shall be pursued."
PICKTHAL: Then Pharaoh sent into the cities summoners,
SHAKIR: So Firon sent heralds into the cities;
026.054
YUSUFALI: Then Pharaoh sent heralds to (all) the Cities,
PICKTHAL: (Who said): Lo! these indeed are but a little troop,
SHAKIR: Most surely these are a small company;
026.055
YUSUFALI: (Saying): "These (Israelites) are but a small band,
PICKTHAL: And lo! they are offenders against us.
SHAKIR: And most surely they have enraged us;
026.056
YUSUFALI: "And they are raging furiously against us;
PICKTHAL: And lo! we are a ready host.
SHAKIR: And most surely we are a vigilant multitude.
026.057
YUSUFALI: "But we are a multitude amply fore-warned."
PICKTHAL: Thus did We take them away from gardens and watersprings,
SHAKIR: So We turned them out of gardens and springs,
026.058
YUSUFALI: So We expelled them from gardens, springs,
PICKTHAL: And treasures and a fair estate.
SHAKIR: And treasures and goodly dwellings,
026.059
YUSUFALI: Treasures, and every kind of honourable position;
PICKTHAL: Thus (were those things taken from them) and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit them.
SHAKIR: Even so. And We gave them as a heritage to the children of Israel.
026.060
YUSUFALI: Thus it was, but We made the Children of Israel inheritors of such things.
PICKTHAL: And they overtook them at sunrise.
SHAKIR: Then they pursued them at sunrise.
026.061
YUSUFALI: So they pursued them at sunrise.
PICKTHAL: And when the two hosts saw each other, those with Moses said: Lo! we are indeed caught.
SHAKIR: So when the two hosts saw each other, the companions of Musa cried out: Most surely we are being overtaken.
026.062
YUSUFALI: And when the two bodies saw each other, the people of Moses said: "We are sure to be overtaken."
PICKTHAL: He said: Nay, verily! for lo! my Lord is with me. He will guide me.
SHAKIR: He said: By no means; surely my Lord is with me: He will show me a way out.
026.063
YUSUFALI: (Moses) said: "By no means! my Lord is with me! Soon will He guide me!"
PICKTHAL: Then We inspired Moses, saying: Smite the sea with thy staff. And it parted, and each part was as a mountain vast.
SHAKIR: Then We revealed to Musa: Strike the sea with your staff. So it had cloven asunder, and each part was like a huge mound.
026.064
YUSUFALI: Then We told Moses by inspiration: "Strike the sea with thy rod." So it divided, and each separate part became like the huge, firm mass of a mountain.
PICKTHAL: Then brought We near the others to that place.
SHAKIR: And We brought near, there, the others.
026.065
YUSUFALI: And We made the other party approach thither.
PICKTHAL: And We saved Moses and those with him, every one;
SHAKIR: And We saved Musa and those with him, all of them.
026.066
YUSUFALI: We delivered Moses and all who were with him;
PICKTHAL: And We drowned the others.
SHAKIR: Then We drowned the others.
026.067
YUSUFALI: But We drowned the others.
PICKTHAL: Lo! herein is indeed a portent, yet most of them are not believers.
SHAKIR: Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.
026.068
YUSUFALI: Verily in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe.
PICKTHAL: And lo, thy Lord! He is indeed the Mighty, the Merciful.
SHAKIR: And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
026.069
YUSUFALI: And verily thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.
PICKTHAL: Recite unto them the story of Abraham:
SHAKIR: And recite to them the story of Ibrahim.
026.070
YUSUFALI: And rehearse to them (something of) Abraham's story.
PICKTHAL: When he said unto his father and his folk: What worship ye?
SHAKIR: When he said to his father and his people: What do you worship?
026.071
YUSUFALI: Behold, he said to his father and his people: "What worship ye?"
PICKTHAL: They said: We worship idols, and are ever devoted unto them.
SHAKIR: They said: We worship idols, so we shall be their votaries.
026.072
YUSUFALI: They said: "We worship idols, and we remain constantly in attendance on them."
PICKTHAL: He said: Do they hear you when ye cry?
SHAKIR: He said: Do they hear you when you call?
026.073
YUSUFALI: He said: "Do they listen to you when ye call (on them), or do you good or harm?"
PICKTHAL: Or do they benefit or harm you?
SHAKIR: Or do they profit you or cause you harm?
026.074
YUSUFALI: They said: "Nay, but we found our fathers doing thus (what we do)."
PICKTHAL: They said: Nay, but we found our fathers acting on this wise.
SHAKIR: They said: Nay, we found our fathers doing so.
026.075
YUSUFALI: He said: "Do ye then see whom ye have been worshipping,-
PICKTHAL: He said: See now that which ye worship,
SHAKIR: He said: Have you then considered what you have been worshipping:
026.076
YUSUFALI: "Ye and your fathers before you?-
PICKTHAL: Ye and your forefathers!
SHAKIR: You and your ancient sires.
026.077
YUSUFALI: "For they are enemies to me; not so the Lord and Cherisher of the Worlds;

SHAKIR: Surely they are enemies to me, but not (so) the Lord of the worlds;
026.078
YUSUFALI: "Who created me, and it is He Who guides me;
PICKTHAL: Who created me, and He doth guide me,
