قَالُوا أَرْجِهْ وَأَخَاهُ وَأَرْسِلْ فِي الْمَدَائِنِ حَاشِرِينَ
﴿۱۱۱﴾
Others said: 'Put them off a while, he and his brother, and send forth to your cities gatherers (111)
يَأْتُوكَ بِكُلِّ سَاحِرٍ عَلِيمٍ
﴿۱۱۲﴾
to summon every wellversed sorcerer to you. ' (112)
وَجَاءَ السَّحَرَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ قَالُوا إِنَّ لَنَا لَأَجْرًا إِنْ كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْغَالِبِينَ
﴿۱۱۳﴾
The sorcerers came to Pharaoh. They said: 'Shall we be rewarded if we are the winners? ' (113)
قَالَ نَعَمْ وَإِنَّكُمْ لَمِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ
﴿۱۱۴﴾
'Yes, ' he answered, 'and you will be among those near. ' (114)
قَالُوا يَا مُوسَى إِمَّا أَنْ تُلْقِيَ وَإِمَّا أَنْ نَكُونَ نَحْنُ الْمُلْقِينَ
﴿۱۱۵﴾
They said: 'Moses, will you throw first or shall we be the throwers? ' (115)
قَالَ أَلْقُوا فَلَمَّا أَلْقَوْا سَحَرُوا أَعْيُنَ النَّاسِ وَاسْتَرْهَبُوهُمْ وَجَاءُوا بِسِحْرٍ عَظِيمٍ
﴿۱۱۶﴾
'Throw, ' he replied. And when they threw, they bewitched the people's eyes and terrified them, and produced great sorcery. (116)
وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَى مُوسَى أَنْ أَلْقِ عَصَاكَ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ
﴿۱۱۷﴾
Then We revealed to Moses: 'Now, throw down your staff. ' And thereupon it swallowed up their false invention. (117)
فَوَقَعَ الْحَقُّ وَبَطَلَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
﴿۱۱۸﴾
So, the truth prevailed and what they were doing was annulled; (118)
فَغُلِبُوا هُنَالِكَ وَانْقَلَبُوا صَاغِرِينَ
﴿۱۱۹﴾
they were defeated and turned belittled, (119)
وَأُلْقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ سَاجِدِينَ
﴿۱۲۰﴾
and the sorcerers prostrated themselves, (120)
