قَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسَى وَيْلَكُمْ لَا تَفْتَرُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا فَيُسْحِتَكُمْ بِعَذَابٍ وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنِ افْتَرَى
﴿۶۱﴾
Moses said unto them: Woe unto you! Invent not a lie against Allah, lest He extirpate you by some punishment. He who lieth faileth miserably. (61)
فَتَنَازَعُوا أَمْرَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ وَأَسَرُّوا النَّجْوَى
﴿۶۲﴾
Then they debated one with another what they must do, and they kept their counsel secret. (62)
قَالُوا إِنْ هَذَانِ لَسَاحِرَانِ يُرِيدَانِ أَنْ يُخْرِجَاكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِكُمْ بِسِحْرِهِمَا وَيَذْهَبَا بِطَرِيقَتِكُمُ الْمُثْلَى
﴿۶۳﴾
They said: Lo! these are two wizards who would drive you out from your country by their magic, and destroy your best traditions; (63)
فَأَجْمِعُوا كَيْدَكُمْ ثُمَّ ائْتُوا صَفًّا وَقَدْ أَفْلَحَ الْيَوْمَ مَنِ اسْتَعْلَى
﴿۶۴﴾
So arrange your plan, and come in battle line. Whoso is uppermost this day will be indeed successful. (64)
قَالُوا يَا مُوسَى إِمَّا أَنْ تُلْقِيَ وَإِمَّا أَنْ نَكُونَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ أَلْقَى
﴿۶۵﴾
They said: O Moses! Either throw first, or let us be the first to throw? (65)
قَالَ بَلْ أَلْقُوا فَإِذَا حِبَالُهُمْ وَعِصِيُّهُمْ يُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ سِحْرِهِمْ أَنَّهَا تَسْعَى
﴿۶۶﴾
He said: Nay, do ye throw! Then lo! their cords and their staves, by their magic, appeared to him as though they ran. (66)
فَأَوْجَسَ فِي نَفْسِهِ خِيفَةً مُوسَى
﴿۶۷﴾
And Moses conceived a fear in his mind. (67)
قُلْنَا لَا تَخَفْ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْأَعْلَى
﴿۶۸﴾
We said: Fear not! Lo! thou art the higher. (68)
وَأَلْقِ مَا فِي يَمِينِكَ تَلْقَفْ مَا صَنَعُوا إِنَّمَا صَنَعُوا كَيْدُ سَاحِرٍ وَلَا يُفْلِحُ السَّاحِرُ حَيْثُ أَتَى
﴿۶۹﴾
Throw that which is in thy right hand! It will eat up that which they have made. Lo! that which they have made is but a wizard's artifice, and a wizard shall not be successful to whatever point (of skill) he may attain. (69)
فَأُلْقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ سُجَّدًا قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ هَارُونَ وَمُوسَى
﴿۷۰﴾
Then the wizards were (all) flung down prostrate, crying: We believe in the Lord of Aaron and Moses. (70)
