قَالَ فَأْتِ بِهِ إِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ
﴿۳۱﴾
(Pharaoh) said: Produce it then, if thou art of the truthful! (31)
فَأَلْقَى عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ ثُعْبَانٌ مُبِينٌ
﴿۳۲﴾
Then he flung down his staff and it became a serpent manifest, (32)
وَنَزَعَ يَدَهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ بَيْضَاءُ لِلنَّاظِرِينَ
﴿۳۳﴾
And he drew forth his hand and lo! it was white to the beholders. (33)
قَالَ لِلْمَلَإِ حَوْلَهُ إِنَّ هَذَا لَسَاحِرٌ عَلِيمٌ
﴿۳۴﴾
(Pharaoh) said unto the chiefs about him: Lo! this is verily a knowing wizard, (34)
يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُخْرِجَكُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِكُمْ بِسِحْرِهِ فَمَاذَا تَأْمُرُونَ
﴿۳۵﴾
Who would drive you out of your land by his magic. Now what counsel ye? (35)
قَالُوا أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَابْعَثْ فِي الْمَدَائِنِ حَاشِرِينَ
﴿۳۶﴾
They said: Put him off, (him) and his brother, and send into the cities summoners (36)
يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَحَّارٍ عَلِيمٍ
﴿۳۷﴾
Who shall bring unto thee every knowing wizard. (37)
فَجُمِعَ السَّحَرَةُ لِمِيقَاتِ يَوْمٍ مَعْلُومٍ
﴿۳۸﴾
So the wizards were gathered together at a set time on a day appointed. (38)
وَقِيلَ لِلنَّاسِ هَلْ أَنْتُمْ مُجْتَمِعُونَ
﴿۳۹﴾
And it was said unto the people: Are ye (also) gathering? (39)
لَعَلَّنَا نَتَّبِعُ السَّحَرَةَ إِنْ كَانُوا هُمُ الْغَالِبِينَ
﴿۴۰﴾
(They said): Aye, so that we may follow the wizards if they are the winners. (40)
