26. Shuara · verses 58–69

وَكُنُوزٖ وَمَقَامٖ كَرِيمٖ

Wakunoozin wamaqamin kareemin

Treasures, and every kind of honourable position;

كَذَٰلِكَۖ وَأَوۡرَثۡنَٰهَا بَنِيٓ إِسۡرَٰٓءِيلَ

Kathalika waawrathnaha banee israeela

Thus it was, but We made the Children of Israel inheritors of such things.

فَأَتۡبَعُوهُم مُّشۡرِقِينَ

FaatbaAAoohum mushriqeena

So they pursued them at sunrise.

فَلَمَّا تَرَٰٓءَا ٱلۡجَمۡعَانِ قَالَ أَصۡحَٰبُ مُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّا لَمُدۡرَكُونَ

Falamma taraa aljamAAani qala ashabu moosa inna lamudrakoona

And when the two bodies saw each other, the people of Moses said: "We are sure to be overtaken."

قَالَ كـَلَّآۖ إِنَّ مَعِيَ رَبِّي سَيَهۡدِينِ

Qala kalla inna maAAiya rabbee sayahdeeni

(Moses) said: "By no means! my Lord is with me! Soon will He guide me!"

فَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنِ ٱضۡرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلۡبَحۡرَۖ فَٱنفَلَقَ فَكَانَ كُلُّ فِرۡقٖ كَٱلطَّوۡدِ ٱلۡعَظِيمِ

Faawhayna ila moosa ani idrib biAAasaka albahra fainfalaqa fakana kullu firqin kaalttawdi alAAatheemi

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.

وَأَزۡلَفۡنَا ثَمَّ ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

Waazlafna thamma alakhareena

And We made the other party approach thither.

وَأَنجَيۡنَا مُوسَىٰ وَمَن مَّعَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ

Waanjayna moosa waman maAAahu ajmaAAeena

We delivered Moses and all who were with him;

ثُمَّ أَغۡرَقۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

Thumma aghraqna alakhareena

But We drowned the others.

إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَأٓيَةٗۖ وَمَا كَانَ أَكۡثَرُهُم مُّؤۡمِنِينَ

Inna fee thalika laayatan wama kana aktharuhum mumineena

Verily in this is a Sign: but most of them do not believe.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

Wainna rabbaka lahuwa alAAazeezu alrraheemu

And verily thy Lord is He, the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.

وَٱتۡلُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ نَبَأَ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ

Waotlu AAalayhim nabaa ibraheema

And rehearse to them (something of) Abraham´s story.
