إِنَّا قَدۡ أُوحِيَ إِلَيۡنَآ أَنَّ ٱلۡعَذَابَ عَلَىٰ مَن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
it has been revealed to us that punishment falls on whoever rejects the truth and turns his back on it.”’
قَالَ فَمَن رَّبُّكُمَا يَٰمُوسَىٰ
[Pharaoh] said, ‘Moses, who is this Lord of yours?’
قَالَ رَبُّنَا ٱلَّذِيٓ أَعۡطَىٰ كُلَّ شَيۡءٍ خَلۡقَهُۥ ثُمَّ هَدَىٰ
Moses said, ‘Our Lord is He who gave everything its form, then gave it guidance.’
قَالَ فَمَا بَالُ ٱلۡقُرُونِ ٱلۡأُولَىٰ
He said, ‘What about former generations?’
قَالَ عِلۡمُهَا عِندَ رَبِّي فِي كِتَٰبٖۖ لَّا يَضِلُّ رَبِّي وَلَا يَنسَى
Moses said, ‘My Lord alone has knowledge of them, all in a record; my Lord does not err or forget.’
ٱلَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ مَهۡدٗا وَسَلَكَ لَكُمۡ فِيهَا سُبُلٗا وَأَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءٗ فَأَخۡرَجۡنَا بِهِۦٓ أَزۡوَٰجٗا مِّن نَّبَاتٖ شَتَّىٰ
It was He who spread out the earth for you and traced routes in it. He sent down water from the sky. With that water We bring forth every kind of plant,
كُلُواْ وَٱرۡعَوۡاْ أَنۡعَٰمَكُمۡۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَٰتٖ لِّأُوْلِي ٱلنُّهَىٰ
so eat, and graze your cattle. There are truly signs in all this for people of understand-ing.
