وَأَخَذْنَٰهُم
and We seized them
بِٱلْعَذَابِ with the punishment لَعَلَّهُمْ so that they may يَرْجِعُونَ return. وَقَالُوا۟ And they said, يَٰٓأَيُّهَ "O ٱلسَّاحِرُ [the] magician! ٱدْعُ Invoke لَنَا for us
رَبَّكَ your Lord بِمَا by what عَهِدَ He has made covenant عِندَكَ with you. إِنَّنَا Indeed, we لَمُهْتَدُونَ (will) surely be guided." فَلَمَّا But when كَشَفْنَا We removed
عَنْهُمُ from them ٱلْعَذَابَ the punishment إِذَا behold! هُمْ They يَنكُثُونَ broke (their word). وَنَادَىٰ And called out فِرْعَوْنُ Firaun فِى among قَوْمِهِۦ his people;
