فَقُلۡ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ
And say to him: "Would you purify yourself (from the sin of disbelief by becoming a believer)",
وَأَهۡدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخۡشَىٰ
And that I guide you to your Lord, so you should fear Him?
فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلۡأٓيَةَ ٱلۡكُبۡرَىٰ
Then [Musa (Moses)] showed him the great sign (miracles).
فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ
But [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] belied and disobeyed;
ثُمَّ أَدۡبَرَ يَسۡعَىٰ
Then he turned his back, striving hard (against Allah).
فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ
Then he gathered his people and cried aloud,
فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰ
Saying: "I am your lord, most high",
فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ وَٱلۡأُولَىٰٓ
So Allah, seized him with punishment for his last [i.e. his saying: "I am your lord, most high") (see Verse 79:24)] and first [(i.e. his saying, "O chiefs! I know not that you have a god other than I" (see Verse 28:38)] transgression.
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبۡرَةٗ لِّمَن يَخۡشَىٰٓ
Verily, in this is an instructive admonition for whosoever fears Allah.
