وَٱتۡرُكِ ٱلۡبَحۡرَ رَهۡوًاۖ إِنَّهُمۡ جُندٞ مُّغۡرَقُونَ
And leave the sea parted, for they are certainly an army bound to drown.”
كَمۡ تَرَكُواْ مِن جَنَّـٰتٖ وَعُيُونٖ
˹Imagine˺ how many gardens and springs the tyrants left behind,
وَزُرُوعٖ وَمَقَامٖ كَرِيمٖ
as well as ˹various˺ crops and splendid residences,
وَنَعۡمَةٖ كَانُواْ فِيهَا فَٰكِهِينَ
and luxuries which they fully enjoyed.
كَذَٰلِكَۖ وَأَوۡرَثۡنَٰهَا قَوۡمًا ءَاخَرِينَ
So it was. And We awarded it ˹all˺ to another people.
فَمَا بَكَتۡ عَلَيۡهِمُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَٱلۡأَرۡضُ وَمَا كَانُواْ مُنظَرِينَ
Neither heaven nor earth wept over them, nor was their fate delayed.
وَلَقَدۡ نَجَّيۡنَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَـٰٓءِيلَ مِنَ ٱلۡعَذَابِ ٱلۡمُهِينِ
And We certainly delivered the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment
مِن فِرۡعَوۡنَۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَالِيٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡمُسۡرِفِينَ
of Pharaoh. He was truly a tyrant, a transgressor.
وَلَقَدِ ٱخۡتَرۡنَٰهُمۡ عَلَىٰ عِلۡمٍ عَلَى ٱلۡعَٰلَمِينَ
And indeed, We chose the Israelites knowingly above the others.
