إِنَّا قَدۡ أُوحِيَ إِلَيۡنَآ أَنَّ ٱلۡعَذَابَ عَلَىٰ مَن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
"'Verily it has been revealed to us that the Penalty (awaits) those who reject and turn away.'"
قَالَ فَمَن رَّبُّكُمَا يَٰمُوسَىٰ
(When this message was delivered), (Pharaoh) said: "Who, then, O Moses, is the Lord of you two?"
قَالَ رَبُّنَا ٱلَّذِيٓ أَعۡطَىٰ كُلَّ شَيۡءٍ خَلۡقَهُۥ ثُمَّ هَدَىٰ
He said: "Our Lord is He Who gave to each (created) thing its form and nature, and further, gave (it) guidance."
قَالَ فَمَا بَالُ ٱلۡقُرُونِ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ
(Pharaoh) said: "What then is the condition of previous generations?"
قَالَ عِلۡمُهَا عِندَ رَبِّي فِي كِتَٰبٖۖ لَّا يَضِلُّ رَبِّي وَلَا يَنسَى
He replied: "The knowledge of that is with my Lord, duly recorded: my Lord never errs, nor forgets,-
ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ مَهۡدٗا وَسَلَكَ لَكُمۡ فِيهَا سُبُلٗا وَأَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءٗ فَأَخۡرَجۡنَا بِهِۦٓ أَزۡوَٰجٗا مِّن نَّبَاتٖ شَتَّىٰ
"He Who has, made for you the earth like a carpet spread out; has enabled you to go about therein by roads (and channels); and has sent down water from the sky." With it have We produced diverse pairs of plants each separate from the others.
