77 Say: My Lord would not care for you, were it not for your prayer. Now indeed you have rejected, so the punishment will come. |
1 Benignant, Hearing, Knowing God. |
2 These are the verses of the Book that makes manifest. |
3 Perhaps thou wilt kill thyself with grief because they believe not. |
4 If We please, We could send down on them a sign from heaven, so that their necks would bend before it. |
5 And there comes not to them a new Reminder from the Beneficent but they turn away from it. |
6 They indeed reject, so the news will soon come to them of that at which they mock. |
7 See they not the earth, how many of every noble kind We cause to grow in it? |
8 Surely in this is a sign; yet most of them believe not. |
9 And surely thy Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful. |
10 And when thy Lord called Moses, saying: Go to the iniquitous people — |
11 The people of Pharaoh. Will they not guard against evil? |
12 He said: My Lord, I fear that they will reject me. |
13 And my breast straitens, and my tongue is not eloquent, so send for Aaron (too). |
14 And they have a crime against me, so I fear that they will kill me. |
15 He said: By no means; so go you both with Our signs; surely We are with you, Hearing. |
16 Then come to Pharaoh, and say: We are bearers of a message of the Lord of the worlds: |
17 Send with us the Children of Israel. |
